That's what the decade was going for but it mostly did it in the awkward way that a 15 year old outcast with lovely parents does it. Depending on the day it was amusing and endearing in an awkward way, facepalm inspiring stupidity, or an unintentional parody of itself.

I'd say the 00s would give it a run for its money with the whole nu-metal wave. Although 00s edginess at least seemed to be lashing out at a "legitimate target" in the form of Bush, the war on terror etc. The 90s in comparison was just a stroppy teenager going "gently caress you dad I won't do what you tell me".

I'm reminded of the snark about third wave ska: first wave ska was about racism and youth crime; second wave ska was about unemployment and multiculturalism; third wave ska was about your dad buying you a lovely car.

The 00's were manufactured edgy. Not like there wasn't record company influence in the 90's, but they found out what worked and didn't work.

I had one that was some sort of tank game. To this day I don't know if the object of the game was to hit the tank with bombs from an aircraft or to dodge bombs from the aircraft as the tank.

That sounds significantly better, then. If I’m remembering right, the Battletoads one was basically the second level of the actual game (riding down a big shaft, swinging around to kick dudes on the walls) but the controls made accomplishing this goal really, really unnecessarily difficult.

The sauce for the Arch Deluxe was described as "Whale Ejaculate" by a major news publication. I forget which one.

They were not good sandwiches. It was basically just a plain hamburger with a terrible jizzy sauce on it. But it had a whole lettuce leaf instead of shredded so it's for grownups.

I remember back in 2000 (before 9/11 so still technically 90s) seeing a car with Japanese lettering down the side of the back window. I guess they were going for "No Fear" because my Japanese friend asked me why the car said "I am afraid".

Another good one was someone that asked for "Colombian Princess" but mixed up ン (n) and ソ (so) and got "COLOSOBIASO PRISOSESS" on her windshield.

That burg had such a bizarre marketing strategy, the primary focus of the commercial was the fact that kids won't like it and it's for adults. I bet that's why it went away.

That still gets me from time to time. For a while I wondered what a 'パンコン/pankon' was and why an electronics store was selling it. Turns out that sign actually said 'パソコン/pasokon' (computer), and then it made much more sense. Also シ/shi and ツ/tsu.

Back when they were marketing the Arch Deluxe, there was a bit in the news about how a hired PR firm was sending "social influencers" to hip nightlife spots to try to popularize an Arch Deluxe Dance which among other things included curling your arms up above your head to make a McDonalds "M" in the air, YMCA-style.

If they had waited a decade, they could have astroturfed a youtube fad of people doing that dance.

I love how Rob Liefeld's inability to draw feet, women or basically anything but giant guns because THE hot style everyone had to copy :allears:.

People say that the silver age comics of the 60s and 70s were the drugs era, but I liked how 90s got really weird too. I dont know about Image comics because my parents wouldnt buy me them, but in Marvel and DC comics, the Green Lantern became possessed by a literal fear entity (AND THE REASON GREEN LANTERNS CANT AFFECT THE COLOR YELLOW) and murdered almost the entire Green Lantern Corps, Spider-man had a clone and they went back and forth who was the original for 2 years, Superman died and then came back with a mullet, then split into two copies that were different colors, you get the idea. Everything had to be so DARK and GRIM and MATURE, and this somehow translated to stories where post-apocalyptic Superman was fighting the twin clones of Hitler while wielding a gun that was bigger than he was (Superman: At Earth's End, if you're curious. Despite the :krad: summary, it's really boring.)
