Ask me about how my football team's success determines my self worth, and how I wish I lived in New Orleans.
I so wanted to do the human field goal obstacle and was all about this show.

That Nirvana shirt would get a couple hundred bucks on eBay right now.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

I work with a guy who wears JNCO jeans every day to work. This is like, a corporate, business-casual type setting, too.

I like to imagine he buys online them from that internet hellscape that was in Hackers.

Wears.

As in, current tense. As in, he currently, is still wearing JNCO jeans in the year 2017, to an actual place of business that is his job.

You know, I couldn't remember what JNCO jeans were so I looked them up. I think I found the perfect picture of the type of person who wears them.



Edit: So, thinking about it more I actually knew someone who wore them, but he was a pretty good guy who started his own shirt screen printing business in high school. Still, they look amazingly bad.

We must never speak of this!
I accidentally came across the band Cool For August while floating around Fear Factory's Wiki page.
Turns out one of the early bass players (Andrew Shives) jumped onboard with this post-grunge act and I could only find the one single but gently caress it was a flood of the 90's.

It is basically the most 90's an also-ran band has ever sounded, embodying so many of the popular ideas into one overdramatic fiasco. It's hard to tell exactly what the singer is trying to do so he tried everything in one song between Eddie Vedder, Scott Weiland and Jeff Buckley with heroin while the band made a surprisingly melancholy tinged entry into the "Big inspirational sounding cool grungey rock song" category that "New Radicals - You Get What You Give" and "Semisonic - Closing Time" are still on one-hit-wonders compilations for...

I just got suddenly reminded of Cousin Skeeter, the show about a black family having a cousin who just happened to be a puppet of a black kid.

Wasn't there a TV movie about Skeeter going to Mars or something and finding it just populated by weird humans, or was that a fever dream I had as a kid?

There's people selling old concert shirts for $100 or more. The most valuable are specific concert tees from past decades.

Nonsense, there's not a single hatchetman in that picture and his shirt isn't even a short sleeve button up covered in blue flames!

Man, the late 90s/early 2000s looked weird in retrospect.

Does anyone have that picture of the dude who looked like he was in a magazine ad or something, and he had a skateboard and wore the most stupidly baggy clothes? Like a sports jersey 3 or 4 times too large and JNCO-esque pants. I swear it was something about him being a nerd or something.

I think he also looked a lot like Ryan Stiles.

So it's the 90s. Everybody still loves the Ninja Turtles, but XTREME is the new hip thing with the kids these days,

"How do we cash in on this?"
"…Dinosaurs!"
"Yes, but it needs more than that."
"Five of them! That's one more than the turtles have!"
"Yes, good. But is it XTREME enough?"
"We'll give them guns! Gun they won't miss with, they will actually shoot criminals! And they'll in a band!"
"This can't possibly fail."

Yes, and some of their rare shirts, like one they made using a photo of john lennon and yoko ono naked, sold for around 7 grand.

Though Nirvana's music isnt stuck in the 90's, this MTV video of college students being given an advanced copy of In Utero to listen to and give their opinions on certainly is:
