I loved (and still love) Unsolved Mysteries. They scared me to death growing up. I recently re-watched some and find the aliens/D&D/ghosts very 90's. There was one murder that the show attributed to the "occult" that was related to Magic the Gathering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5h2x3G40to

<-------- I spent most of my early childhood under a rock, so Chip's Challenge was pretty much my first exposure to the concept of video games. I was never even all that good at it, but that and SimCity/Ant/Farm/Tower/Copter/2k/etc definitely helped put me on the weird, bullshit path I'm on today. and speaking of such, here's a neat article about why the sequel took 16 years to release.

(That being said, I'm pretty sure Dave Grohl is only about five or six years younger than my dad.) Of course, one article I read also insisted that "dad rock" is racist because it has guitars (of course it mentioned that basically all the classic rock bands are, for the most part, a bunch of white guys, but the writer seemed really hung up on the guitars for whatever raeson), so whatever.

It wasn't just the intro music, Robert Stack doing the voice-over always made it more eerie to me. Dude had the perfect voice for stuff like that, always made everything subtly more weird and creepy.

I've found an op-ed piece from billboard.com (you can read it here) on the topic. I do not think this is the article I originally saw, because it doesn't talk about guitars as much, but there's one bit which seems to reflect the sentiment that I've quoted below:quote:Dad rock -- which used to be called “classic rock,” and before that, “rock” -- has become a target because of its template: white male auteurs, guitar solos, heroism and narrative songs. It’s music for squares. The younger, more multicultural world views it as not just passive, but patriarchal, because its values exclude almost all people of color, anyone who uses a turntable or a sampler and a wide range of female artists, from Taylor Swift to Azealia Banks. A vote against dad rock is a vote for inclusiveness. In that case, the point about instrumentation being discriminatory is mixed in with comments about the lack of diversity in classic rock, but I am almost certain I read an article which made a big point about guitars making it racist because (I think) the dominance of the guitar is / was excluding uniquely non-white instruments or performance styles.

ATC* may have been from the early 2000's but they were one of the most 90's bands that ever existed (as was everything that was big in 2000, weird year for music). I've heard them described as a cross between Eiffel 65 and a dollar store Ace Of Base. Don't think I could put it better. All of their songs had an ear-wormy xylophone riff, a key change at the end and embarrassing choreography in the music videos. You've probably had their biggest, and only hit, Around The World (La La La La La) stuck in your head at some point. It's also a cover of a Russian pop song from 1998. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79EDVGfazEA They made two other songs of note before they broke up in 2003. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO0JvkMynCQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C_6IFqTof4 * They were later forced to change their name to A Touch Of Class after ATB sued them.

Time and culture are weird like that. The earliest 00's stuff is 90's as all get out, the 90's pre-grunge/gangsta rap world is as weird and out there as anything 80's, etc.

I think that's just a product of pop culture not fitting into calendar decades. It was either here or in another 90s thread, but the general consensus was that the 90s ended with 9/11. Also, watch Freaks and Geeks for a good example of this. It's set in 1980/81 and yet everything is 70s as hell.

ATC is great because they are literally the least original band possible, they ripped off their name from ATB, they ripped off their song from that russian group, and then their other songs ripped off the first song.

Like I said, it doesn't really "feel" like the 90's started until grunge and gangsta rap took over. Both completely changed music, fashion, and the general attitude of the youth of America. Before that was all day-glo colors and parachute pants.

I'd say the "longest" cultural decade was probably the 50s, which in my mind started on V-J Day and didn't end until the Kennedy assassination. (In the US, at least)

Not My Leg posted:Fivethirtyeight did an analysis last year of what counts as "classic rock" today based on frequency of play on classic rock stations. The analysis found a very solid core of classic rock stretching from 1973 until 1982, with that period accounting for close to 60% of all classic rock plays. However, there's a substantial area outside the core going back to around 1967 (with a few plays back to '63) and going forward to 1991 (when U2 (Achtung Baby), Metallica (Metallica), and Nirvana (Nevermind) all released albums that receive substantial classic rock play). The top 25 most frequently played bands make up somewhere around 45% of all plays, and are about who you would expect, but there are large regional variances as well. Some are expected, with west coast cities playing a lot of Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Others are odd, such as Seattle playing a lot of Yes. I heard a smashing pumpkins song on the classic rock station recently and felt old. I remember seeing them with the original lineup before they broke up  Speaking of which. This may be too early 90s but still   Warning: will give you seizures https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-KE9lvU810 Started in '97 so it counts  The tumblr kids freaking out when the tumblr theme was changed to Seinfeld and the kids saying "ew Seinfeld, that's something my dad watches."
