Mezzanine posted:Oh look it's my favorite song absolutely ever. Mine too, along with Kiss From A Rose, Another Night, and C'mon and Ride It (The Train). Those songs take me right back to my late elementary/early middle school years. I know Pure Moods has already been discussed a lot, but seeing that commercial transports me to 1994. I actually bought the album off of Amazon a couple of years ago. New age-y music is generally not my thing, but the tracks on Pure Moods I are (for me) late '80s/early '90s nostalgia.

I think you mean other people found out he was in a neo-nazi band in the mid eighties, and when confronted about it he went, "Oh I'm totally not a nazi anymore, guys". Which is totally believable, for sure.

Yeah it was used for the Seinfeld finale clip show. It was also used in E.R. when a nurse sang the song at the funeral for a child that died of cancer. Someone at NBC either really loved the song or NBC owned the record company Green Day was signed to.

Billie Joe may have written Good Riddance when he was pissed at his ex girlfriend, but examining the lyrics doesn't really reveal this. It's just about a bittersweet goodbye. "I hope you had the time of your life", with context, can be taken as sarcasm, but it also works as sincere. The band even said they understand why it became a staple graduation song.

I have a stack of alternative music magazines from the 90s and I seem to think a few times the names of bands on the cover, some 20 years later, make me furrow my brow and try to figure out, "What song did they have?" Some other things I've probably mentioned before was the alternative 'charity albums' of the era. Each one almost seemed like it got slightly less 'big', if that makes any sense. We start out with the Red Hot series and No Alternative for HIV/AIDS. There were a bunch released for different causes that all seemed to have some big names attached to them, but almost none of them seemed like they got the same sort of mainstream buzz as those two.

Even so, there's nothing wrong with enjoying it even if you had a background that was very different than what was described. The stupid thing was all the suburban, privileged white kids that never had a lovely day in their entire childhood dressing and acting like they grew up in Compton and joined a gang at 4. It's like hey you can listen to it and enjoy it as the good art that it is but if the worst thing that ever happened in your neighborhood was a bike occasionally getting stolen don't act like you're some tough thug that grew up in hell because you aren't.

Croatoan posted:Huh well that's better than I had heard. Still sketchy but better. What you probably heard is a bunch of claptrap about A Uboat base being called the Base of Aces, and interpretations of some of their songs to be pro Nazi (All that she wants does seem to be about a welfare mother but its not 100%, but anyone saying the Sign is literally about the Swastika is really stretching it because that song is so loving generic it could be about anything). The uboat base thing is completely made up for the article as no one could find any actual records of that other than some History Channel documentary. The guy being in a neo nazi band though is suspect, but its not like he was "no i'm not like that, but you know, there are some points to be made by Hitler..". I mentioned a while back about YTV's block of teen programming and Retroontario posted their bumper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2a4F40fzc0 That's some late 90s teen focused marketing if I've seen it. Oh god I remember the horrible white rear end rich kids who went hard gangsta in the 90s. Like holy poo poo Your dad literally owns one of the largest independent insurance companies in the city, you don't identify with Snoop. I loved all that stuff too, but drat I wasn't going to try to be like them. We'd call them wiggers, which obviously is a really terrible name because if you think about it for a second its terrible. Its funny now the sagging pants kept with these guys long after rappers stopped doing it. Still today I've seen guys who are full on hipster wearing their skinny jeans sagged below their rear end. All I can think of is they had done it for so long, they can't imagine wearing pants any other way.

Came on like at 11pm on Channel 4, the "edgy" channel. Sorry, cant find any full episodes in English anymore (there's some Russian dubbed ones), but it was Jean Paul Gautier and some other French guy who was the straight guy (literally) showing the worst of continental European "culture". Speaking of Eurotrash, this is the first thing that pops up in a youtube search for the term.

I wasn't sure why I also associated Kiss From a Rose with that time in my life too but looking it up it looks like Batman Forever came out earlier the same year (95) so probably it was playing on the radio the same time.

Did you ever hear Jaleel White's rap about abstinence? Not quite in character as Urkel, but close enough. Also, I'd thought that white suburban teenagers who thought they were oppressed because their dad only got them a Lexus and not a BMW like they wanted all liked Korn and Limp Bizkit rather than hip-hop.  (Though I was listening to a podcast a while ago which made a similar joke about ska: "First wave ska was about racism and youth crime; second wave ska was about unemployment and multiculturalism; third wave ska was about how your dad bought you a lovely car.")

Soundtracks being huge, sometimes bigger than the movie is a 90s as gently caress thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W_sgIUC4Tk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjeteloHSbk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTZuegJ94-U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PColnL8GhQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpXds0CVYmA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeuTWfu89gM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14z5ja1lTKI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqPkWrCeoVE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldbfCc3wdA0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omFprkE7Vko I can't find ads for them, but the Hackers and Saint soundtracks were huge too. Funny thing about a lot of these albums is that a lot of the artists were really obscure unless you were into certain forms of music, so I'm sure they helped the popularity grow of Goth or Electronic Music. I mean who the gently caress had heard of My Life With the Thrill KIll Kult before the Crow soundtrack unless you were into Goth music? I know that album was my gateway into Joy Division because I really loved Dead Souls and one of the freaky goth kids heard me mention it and say "hey you should check out the band that originally wrote the song" and I did and welp. Wheat Loaf posted:Did you ever hear Jaleel White's rap about abstinence? Not quite in character as Urkel, but close enough. Hah, holy poo poo, that is so perfect. Like I'm mostly familiar with the Uk Ska bands that were mostly white from the early 80s and of course the 90s wave as well, and that is such a perfect comparison. I found a lot the Angry music of the late 90s that focused around the early waves of rap metal and nu-metal were a lot like that. You could tell most of these bands were a bunch of Suburban kids who were angry they couldn't skateboard in the walmart parking lot and their dads didn't buy them a bike when they were 10. Maybe that's why the only one that didn't bug me was System of a Down? Armenian Genocide is something worthy to be angry over.

That trend of "Music from and inspired by" soundtracks seems like an exclusively 90s thing. Thinking of the biggest soundtrack albums of the past five years or so, they're either all originals from the movies (Frozen, The Greatest Showman) or licensed songs that were played in the movie (Guardians of the Galaxy and its sequel). I can't remember how it was for the Black Panther - it might have been more of a "from and inspired by" affair but I'm not sure.

Like Jon Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory album, which has the title track which was in Young Guns II, and one instrumental piece by Alan Silvestri, and the rest is Jon Bon Jovi singing about how he wants to be a cowboy but not on a steel horse this time. Then there was the Blair Witch Project Josh's Blair Witch Mix, which was a marketing tie-in as the mix tape the police found in the car after the students went missing. And of course the Judgment Night soundtrack, which is the best album of the 90s.
