A story on the front page of The Canberra Times, written by Ian Warden, divulged the definitive In-Out list for 1995-1996.
"The smoking of cigars by women is out and ... to be a non-smoker is in," the story said.
"Surfing the internet is out already (it seems only yesterday that the internet surf was up) while surfing on waves, in fulfilment of Geoffrey Chaucer's ye olde observation (in 1386) that every apparently new thing is always just something old in a new guise, has made a comeback and is in again."
Swedish pop group ABBA was also deemed out after a stint on the in list, while the groups Blur, Portishead and Tricky were in.
"You are doubly fashionable if you listen to them on in-station Triple J," the story said.
