I have an idea that there was something called the Gay Nineties* at the end of the 19^th century:

(Compare this, of course, with the revolutionary phases in recent Western history, already noted** as being grouped around 1776, 1840, 1904 & 1968: allowing circumferential resonance or ‘creep’ of about 8 years either way or 1/8th circle +/-, especially forward,*** giving a sector of ¼ circle +/- for each phase.)

*(ref? Sellars & Yeatman’s ‘1066 and All That’, which humorously depicted them as a group of nonagenarians having a good time....)

[to which subsequent alterations in the use of the word ‘gay’ could of course add another slant altogether]
