Help needed - 90s slang
What word meaning 'cool' would most make you think of the 1990s?a) boss
b) bangin'
c) hype
d) Insert write-in vote here
Here's the context: "Your [CD] collection's pretty _______."
It has to be distinctively 90s. Even though we used 'awesome' back then, we also used it in the 80s and now, more than ever.
In other words, it has to be slang that would make you wince if you heard it today.
Oh, and no hip-hop terms. 'Phat' is out of the question.
Thanks!

Did anyone ever say 'da bomb' without irony? Every time I hear it I think of Ben Affleck in "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back."
Great ideas, everyone! A couple of these are serious contenders. Keep it comin'.

If "the bomb" is out, I'll have to say "kickin'." "Rad" is too late-Eighties. Is "sweet" too turn-of-the-millennia?
