It feels like we've been stuck on 80s nostalgia for over two decades now, a period stretching from The Wedding Singer in 1998 to the current TV popularity of Stranger Things or The Goldbergs. It was almost like the equivalent tributes to 90s pop culture were just never going to come.

So, Captain Marvel's mix of grunge, female-fronted alt-rock and R&B was like a breath of fresh air for all of us grown up 90s kids waiting for our own nostalgia wave (especially when coupled with this month's Mid90s, which comes with a fresh score from Nine Inch Nails's Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross).

To be honest, the soundtrack is not as perfectly integrated into the action as in the way that Guardians Of The Galaxy uses its retro mixes to back its creative visuals, but it would take a hard hearted anti-feminist not to feel a little thrill as Carol rushes into battle with hordes of blue-skinned aliens just as the ska-inflected opening bars of No Doubt's Just A Girl begin to fire up.

Even outside the soundtrack itself, classic 90s music references abound in the movie, from Carol Danvers's NIN shirt to fly-posting for Smashing Pumpkins's ambitious art grunge album Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness (a US number one album in the autumn of 1995, the year in which the movie takes place).
