The Gallagher brothers' return to live music has excited a new generation, so MailOnline has taken to the streets of Britain to find out how much they really know about the era.

Most of Gen-Z were in nappies or short trousers when Oasis split up - but that hasn't stopped millions of them joining Millennials in the scramble for 2025 gig tickets.

Based on MailOnline's exclusive poll, it appears that while many Gen-Zers know who was the star of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, what the Yellow Pages was used for is more of a mystery. And iconic toys of the era, still sold today, including a Tamagotchi, left several who took part stumped. Mr McDonnell was also played one of the most recognisable tones of the 1990s - familiar to millions at the time, guessing it was a 'broadcast sound'. Trevor Smith, 22, and Ruth Gabbay, 25, thought it was the sound of a 'phone not connecting'.

Incredibly another trend to sweep younger generations appears to be the return of the landline - so they can speak to friends in their bedrooms like in teenage-true-life TV shows from the era. Taking to X Brits of all ages gave their thoughts, with some insisting that tickets should to 'over 40s only'.
