Pulp are still wonderful to listen to. Jarvis Cocker was one of my first serious crushes, and I so would even today.

My favorite music fact is that the best-selling indie record of all time is Smash by The Offspring
Whenever someone points this out I have to be a dick and say that Taylor Swift is on an independent label, but I just looked it up and Smash has sold twice as many copies as any of her albums :)

I dislike most guitar-centric music from the 90's, I was one of those kids heavy into "Electronica" as the media loved to put it (bleagh).

That said, I STILL don't see what was so great about Oasis. Like, ever. Then again I'm not British.

I unironically love 90s dance music. It was more about making a beat that was dancable and catchy, and not loving drops and weird bass effects (weird bass effects are only acceptable if you're Aphex Twin)

I was thinking about this one, the song could just have the vocalist singing and it was fine, but then the guy comes and talk raps his way through most of it. I know during production he was all "I know what will make this song perfect, if I rap the verses" and everyone was all "uh ya okay, you paid for the studio time"

I wish stuff like Mr Vain would get played in the nightclubs around here. Maybe the top 40 is just poo poo right now but most of what gets played is awkward to try to dance to.

This isn't a dance song but I've been kind of obsessed with it lately.

Ok Grandpa, guess poo poo like Sapient or Run the Jewels or Gang Gang Dance that you probably haven't even bothered to hear about/listen to are just automatically junk cause you're in your 90s and weren't aware of them

(seriously though 90s dance music is insanely loving lacking compared to 2000s on if you compare them now)

Ok I seriously have either never seen Sears commercial or I blocked it out of my memory, and I watched tv the whole day since I got home from school from 91-99 or so, and I watched tv all day on my days off. Maybe my illegal cable connection blocked it somehow. Or maybe I've seen it so many times that it just blends into background memories like "drinking a glass of water" and "use the toilet". What the gently caress.

Bohemian Like You is really catchy but I never took it seriously as a song, like it just felt like an elaborate joke and I couldn't tell if they were making fun of faux-hemians or if it was really an earnest anthem for 90's scenesters. I'm pretty sure a lot of scenesters took the song seriously and thought it really spoke to them.

Never bothered to listen to anything else by them. :shrug:
