It wasnt really a movement, barely even a moment, but the Daisy Age was an ethos that briefly permeated pop, R&B and hip hop. The name was coined by Long Island trioDe La Soul; they claimed D.A.I.S.Y. stood for da inner sound, yall, but thenDe La Soulsaid a lot of things. Playfulness and good humour were central to their 1989 debut album, which cast a long, multi-coloured shadow. The 90s, it promised, would be a lot easier going than the 80s.
