Spice Girls

Posh British ensemble

Spice Girls was a British pop group of the 1990s whose five members each had a nickname: Scary Spice, Sporty Spice, Baby Spice, Ginger Spice, and Posh Spice.

Their debut single "Wannabe" and the slogan "girl power" made them a global phenomenon.

The name now evokes Y2K-era pop culture and nostalgic affection.
