That album is so loving good. I am a huge fan of this cover of the speed racer theme https://youtu.be/rhWnCa0ugf4 And at least the Johnny Quest Theme part of this one https://youtu.be/FNYuQ_jmR_g And of course the SPider-Man Theme by the Ramones https://youtu.be/8RUxRgMeOdw The only disappointing song is the one by Collective Soul, but its Collective Soul, disappointing is their genre.

I had a Big Dogs Star Wars tie-in shirt in 1998 because I was a kid who was obsessed with Star Wars. It was "Bark Maul" in "Star Wars: The Panting Menace" or something like that.

Anyone who ever went to east coast Canada in the 90s went away with at least one Cows Ice Cream tshirt. You had besides Big Dog, there's also Chip and Pepper, Big Johnson and Co-ed Naked whatever that were all popular t shirt brands in the 90s. That the Tshits we had before people just starting mashing up Rick and Morty and Steven Universe with everything.

Oh, I got at least one Big Dog shirt from my mom for Christmas and my birthday every year. I was probably 13 when that started, so of course I never wore them. They were my dad's favorite shirts though, because they're basically dad humor in textile

During middle school, girls had to have at least one Explorations shirts (wildlife-centered) and both genders absolutely needed No Fear shirts to even attempt to be cool. That's also the age when the Big Johnson shirts were popular.

When I was growing up in Halifax, it was at first a sign you'd been to PEI, then they opened one on the waterfront. I have literally only been there once because the lines are so god drat long. Oh speaking of suvenier shirts, we went to Newport RI and my sister got a shirt that said The Breakers on it, and then it had semaphore flags on it. Me being a loving nerd had an key to what letters the flag stood for. The flags on her shirt said "Sail Naked". She never wore that shirt again.

Target had an in-house spiritual copycat (basically the same typefaces, color schemes, graphics, and concepts) of No Fear called BREAKIN' RULES that I thought was absolutely hilarious. I mean, I thought No Fear was funny/dumb in that whole "doth protest too much" sort of way you see typified now in those t-shirts whose ads your trashy friend on Facebook shares with slogans like "DON'T MESS WITH A WOMAN BORN IN SEPTEMBER WHO WATCHES NCIS" or "IF YOU'RE DATING MY DAUGHTER I SPEND A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT HOW TO KILL YOU" (paraphrased), but a low-effort copy of something that was already bad to begin with is next-level.

Big Johnson had been banned from day 1 when I hit middle school in 1992. I really only ever saw them when I encountered the bad kids at church and boy scout outings. We had No Fear, Stussy, and Mossimo as the big ones. There were a lot of Disney shirts among the girls. A lot of people had this specific shirt, which is shockingly easy to find for sale online:  I had a variant where they were more "rock," and Taz was wearing a leather jacket. Because rock wasn't cool in the approaching hip-hop future that quickly evaporated when Dr. Dre introduced us all to The Chronic.

I've almost certainly posted this in this thread before: :format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-2444968-1441740549-7257.jpeg.jpg) I believe this album included Minnie's version of "Whatta Man" by Salt 'N' Pepa where she raps about how she knows Mickey will never cheat on her.

When the 90s-era skater culture was going on, between the popularity of the TMNT but a while before THPS came out on the PS1,the "Hook Ups" shirts with anime/manga stylings were pretty popular with the skateboarding cool kids. The thing though is that I remember them being a thing even a year or two BEFORE the anime boom kicked off by the Street Fighter anime.

Circa 1994 my then-girlfriend was asked to leave Six Flags and change because she had a Coed Naked Volleyball ("On the floor is where you score!") t-shirt on. When I started dating my wife in '97, one of her criteria for whether or not someone was boyfriend material was if they owned any Big Johnson gear.

The studio kept slashing it because they were afraid regular audiences wouldn't get it The entire MST 3K movie ended up being shorter than This Island Earth I think at one of the cons they showed host segments that got filmed but not used Hey Dude chat: Brad >>> Melody but Brad didn't marry Ben Stiller so no one remembers her

You could tell this image was created no later than 1992 because Kris Kross were the only dudes who did the fad of wearing their clothes backwards when they broke out that year. Then again, if that ever really was a licensed image created by Warner Bros. (it most likely wasn't), then I could see it made up in 1997 by some clueless WB exec that wanted to be "with it" with the bippin' and the boppin' Fat Boys music. I tried wearing my clothes backwards back in 1992. Once. For about 10 minutes. Before I said to myself, "This is dumber than poo poo holy loving poo poo" and promptly changed them around to normal. CONTENT: This song pops into my head whenever I sleep on my stomach or in a weird position on my arms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfKFV1J7O4s I also think of this one when I hear "Blinded by the Light": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9_3nQFNy-w In short, The Vacant Lot is incredibly '90s.

I watched The Evil Dead in 4k yesterday (looks fantastic btw), and had the realization that 90's teens are probably the only group that had to experience movies like that in a very specific manner. It was always an uncle, or in my case friend's uncle, who would "have a movie for you to watch." It was always one of those off mainstream horror movies, the Evil Deads, Dead Alives, etc. That would start you on the path to get a third hand copy of Faces of Death, and learn the world of horror beyond your Nightmare on Elm Streets. Horror is just too mainstream, and muddled with cheap garbage, with easy access via streaming and the internet itself for that same experience. There are no horror movies that are only spoken of in myths and whispers anymore, and it's kinda sad.

I kinda disagree in that horror has always been filled with a high percentage of crap. Their cheapness to produce meant they were always churned out rapidfire because even it bombed the loss would barely be noticed by the studio. I get what youre saying there is a loss of that mystique of coming across a rare vhs you dont get from streaming where more stuff is easily accessible, but the genre always been a bit of a crap shoot.

I had to google that, I've always heard them called "Radar Detectors." I know whenever I cross into Virginia there's a big old sign that informs me that radar detectors are illegal. I suspect that they're just out of popularity due to dubious effectiveness of them. These days cops use lasers, and well you're not going to be able to detect that unless you've already been lit up. I've had people tell me that the laser detectors detect a laser coil charging up, which sounds like 100% made-up bullshit to justify a bad purchase to me.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure laser speed detectors don't need a slow charge-up process like a sci-fi blaster. You just point them and press the button and the laser goes. Also don't know any lasers that use "laser coils"! They're still legal, but as you said it's harder to detect them with the technological advances. Cops also tend to look at them with disdain if they see them after pulling you over.

Radar isn't used as much as it was. I think part of it was that radar guns were found to increase cancer risk or something. Some states forbid police from using the radar so the radar detector went away.
