Irish people can be surprisingly touchy.

I don't think it's particularly touchy for Irish people to prefer a name for that drink other than one paying homage to the Black and Tans.

I thought it was their own ironic joke.

All the Mick joints I used to frequent in DC called it Black and Tan.

The black and tan drink is not at all paying homage to the black and tans militants. Black and tan is a pretty common colour scheme and it's from this that the militants got their name.
The most common use of black and tan if not the drink is probably the terrier

It's funny.
Though the 90s and 00s didn't have defining fashion the way previous decades did the 2010s clearly seem to; beards

Type in 90s fashion to google. You definitely get many images of hits that are very 90s.

While the 1990s have a bunch of fashion styles to them (from grunge to OMG WE MUST WEAR DENIM EVERYWHERE casual chic), I admit that I can't put my finger on the 2000s look. Possibly because we aren't removed enough from it yet?

I think that's fair.

Wasn't that the height of the 3 button suit thing?

The early-mid 2000s look: I can't define it, but I know it when I see it.  Every dress shirt was "French Blue" wasn't it? :puke:

I should put the pictures of me in the early 90's in the safe, never to see the light of day again.

The style will come back one day. They all do.

Bell bottoms for straight dudes will never ever come back.  I'm willing to put money on it.
