The reality of it is you can get too much of these people from social media and never really have the need to say "hey hope you're doing good".

Speaking of Grunge, Hype is loving awesome. It's amazing just what went into Grunge and how it exploded and changed music basically forever. It killed careers that seemed like they were going on forever, and no one really knew why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhVn7oF28MI The best part is when they talk about how NYT called up Subpop and asked them about what was the cool lingo used in Grunge and the women they talked to literally just made poo poo up on the fly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9b8YSozvRw That woman is my hero.

For me the big relationship/breakup song of the 90s was Breakfast at Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something.

Are we owning up to 90’s songs that we secretly liked but were to shameful to admit?

Imagined posted:Lots of great bands are far better live than in the studio. It makes me wonder how many bands would jump from being total crap to somewhat tolerable if the records were produced in a more authentic way. Creed is a good example because they always had pretty decent instrumentation, it was more the vocals, lyrics, and uninteresting songwriting that brought them down. Cartoon Man posted:I always thought Stone Temple Pilots was Pearl Jam for a while at first. That's because Scott Weiland was a chameleon, and especially on the first album he was going for the PJ thing pretty hard. Later he was more fond of the high raspy thing, and eventually settled on a mid-range voice that didn't sound like Vedder anymore. He also occasionally sounded like Bowie. And uh, whatever this was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyPGMe5IRCw

dialhforhero posted:I always confused Low by Cracker as being a Tom Petty song for the entirety of the 90s. Cracker is an amazing band that got lumped in with grunge/alt rock. They usually throw in a couple country or blues songs on every album and knock it out of the park. Johnny Hickman is underrated at a guitarist.

Sex Hobbit posted:When are we not? Orgy felt like what i mentioned about Collective Soul and others about Bush, they felt very manufactured to be "goth". Like with different haircuts they could have easily of been a boy band. I mentioned how Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr formed a group in the late 80s, Electronic, though most of their output was from the 90s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXWZrHke8Hw This track makes me think they went "you think your Madchester? We invented that poo poo". Though what was with flags in 90s dance videos? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUTJCIPsWwE Though my favorite Electronic track never got a single or a video, Dark Angel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7AIZ0m0m3A

How old do you think you need to be to be a "90s kid"? A friend on Facebook who's the younger brother of a kid in my school just posted a whole long "things only 90s kids had" with all the usual crap like JNCO's and fitting a CD player into your pocket. Problem is, he was like 12-13 in 2000. I get the culture stuck around longer and obviously we have different experiences than Gen Z but it feels off to me (because I'm an pedantic goon).
