Regular price
€26,95
Only available as a download
For many decades, BRAVO played a pioneering role in sexual education and youth development in Germany. As one of the first and best-known youth magazines, it regularly focused on topics such as body awareness, healthy sexuality, relationships, and personal development. Especially from the 1960s to the 1990s, the magazine was a central medium that provided guidance and education on intimate topics to young people during a time of social upheaval.
With a mix of serious, scientifically sound content and an accessible, youth-appropriate approach, BRAVO helped many generations of young people to come to terms with questions of physical development and sexual identity. The magazine always placed importance on independent, responsible reporting and treated sexuality not as a taboo, but as a natural part of growing up.
What was it like back in 1997 ? Which stars were popular? What music did we listen to? What problems did we have to deal with as teenagers ? Do you remember when you held your first BRAVO in your hands? Leafing through the pages, giggling with friends or seeing the walls and doors covered in stickers?
Immerse yourself again! As the leading medium of youth culture , the issues offer an interesting insight into a bygone era. This compilation contains all BRAVO issues of 1997 , complete and in full, in PDF format for you to read. The compilation also contains the star cuts of the year, as well as a list of all music hits and BRAVO - OTTO winners .

The year 1997
The 90s continued with Eminem's breakthrough and the Spice Girls on their way to pop superpowers, while Britpop continued to dominate the charts with Oasis and Blur. The pop and R&B sound experienced a new energy with Aqua and The Notorious BIG. 1997 was also the year "Titanic" reached the cinematic Olympus, becoming the biggest film of all time, while the "Star Wars" craze revived with the release of "Star Wars: Special Edition." Fashion and technology began to merge with the internet and the first mobile phones for the masses—a year that marked the transition into the new century with music, film, and pop culture!
