“Generational traffic jam”

Hello Strands fans. Since I was a teenager in the 90’s, this was the dream theme for me!

Or it would have been so if I had immediately found out what the topic was. Unfortunately it was a bit too vague for me and I had to use a clue that revealed BLUR.

I was a little surprised by this, as I didn’t think Blur would be as big in the United States as it is on my side of the Atlantic. Still, I was out naming bands from the ’90s. Just below BLUR I found NIRVANA, followed by OASIS in the opposite corner.

Now I was ready to tackle the Spangram: NINETIESBANDS written from top to bottom on the board. This drew my attention to PAVEMENT next to it, leaving four letters on that side of the grid that could be twisted to TOOL.

I have to admit that I had never heard of the latter. Luckily, I only had to decode one anagram, which I finally did by spelling SUBLIME and solving a nice nostalgic puzzle.
