Grunge is great for karaoke because even if the singer isn't an Eddie Vedder soundalike, if you do that voice everyone thinks it's correct and you don't have to enunciate

Lots of great bands are far better live than in the studio. Hell after seeing Bruce Springsteen live I can hardly even listen to his studio albums anymore. Same with Cheap Trick. Frequently mentioned are also Grateful Dead. Pearl Jam. Flaming Lips, creepy Uncle Wayne and all, have been brilliant live every time I've seen them.

Trabant posted:It's Dire Straits. The dire straights of the 90s was a band called Creed. In the 1980s, ask any of your teachers in the UK what their favourite band was and they'd always say Dire Straits, and we'd always go “ugh”. Then you get older and realise that actually they own. Same thing as Phil Collins. The movie Sing Street nailed that, in the scene where the older brother slags off a guy for liking Phil's music. But once you hit your mid-thirties, no matter how you felt about him before you'll realise the man's got some tunes and you like him now and also yes you are officially old now too.

I know it's intensely cheesy and sentimental, and It's not that I miss high school that much but I think unless you really hated high school you probably had the same assumption every high school graduate has, that you will keep in touch with with these people forever. The reality is you have that summer and then that's it, you'll likely never see the majority of them again.

The reality is you have that summer and then that's it, you'll likely never see the majority of them again. In retrospect, that's probably for the better. People change a lot after graduating high school. Sometimes the school bully turns their life around and is now your friend after meeting again 10 years later, sometimes they go even deeper and become a chud on an ATV doing meth. The football player makes friends with the edgy goth who did the "Why so serious?" monologue in drama class, they both get drunk and crash their car and the football player dies a few years after graduating. People come out as transgender or gay, sometimes years after you saw them last and sometimes practically while walking during graduation. The fat kid who was kinda into guitar and never got along with you loses weight, starts recording, and suddenly drops dead of a heart condition at 20. The cute goth girl stops talking to you after you cut off contact with a mutual friend who's going insane and you later find out that she now has multiple arrests for stalking, trespassing, drug possession, and firearm theft (while the mutual friend got therapy, got married, and has a daughter and house now). The awkward gangly Drama Club girl dyed her eyebrows and armpits blue and became a pot-smoking vegan promoting punk bands in Jacksonville. These are all actual things that happened with my graduating class, plus all the marriages and babies and whatnot. The only people who are still the same are the ones who stagnate.

Yeah, my 20th anniversary is coming up in August, I thought about going to see what happened to everyone, but it looks like some personal things will be happening around then so I won't be able to go anyway. Not a big deal to me, it's probably just going to be really lame and sad, and I already keep in touch with the hand full of people I'd really want to hang out with anyway. Everyone probably thinks I died in 2014 anyway since that was the last time I used Facebook.

I missed my 10th and 20th reunion. I didn't want to go and admit that I got fat and didn't achieve any of the great things my "potential" suggested I could and was instead just another middle of the road normie getting by but just barely like everybody else, and wow I've made myself sad. Only way I'd have gone was if I had something to shove in everyone's face. I kept zero friends from high school. Anyway this isn't my livejournal, here's some 90s content. "Disco 2000" by Pulp, which I first heard in about 1997 off an album I became obsessed with. https://youtu.be/qJS3xnD7Mus I learned later that Nick Cave and Pulp also did a version of it. https://youtu.be/CIaxXXqTIFU Imagined has a new favorite as of 21:01 on Jun 10, 2019 |

They're both more indebted to classic rock than punk and inclined to arena-size anthems so they have a lot in common. STP were more unapologetic rock stars than the ultra-sincere, guilty-about-fame Pearl Jam though. STP were probably the first of the 90s bands to bring back Steven Tyler's "three M's".

STP are pretty rad though. I probably said it before but the if you asked me in the 90s what my favorite brit pop band was I'd say Oasis, but not its firmly Blue. I lied at my 20th and claimed I worked in music promotions. The picture of me with Drake goes a long way. I did this because basically everyone I went to HS with got sweet jobs from their dads connections and is now rich enough to benefit from tax cuts.

Get something you know is going to be good, like Weird Al’s Dare To Be Stupid  (I kid, that one really is great but more of a cassette album imo)I don’t even think my class is doing a 20 year reunion. Doesn’t matter, I don’t care to go anyway. I just have no interest in revisiting that period of my life, even if I am doing quite well for myself nowadays.

e: I just read a book called Into Thin Air that came out in the 90s. It's amazing to me that magazines were making so much money back then that they would spend $50,000 to send a journalist to Mount Everest for two months and all they wanted was a few articles about the trip in return. I never even heard of Outside magazine but they must have been swimming in extra cash.
