Holy poo poo this is awful. I was four when this came out, and to me it exemplifies everything I hated as a child about the music that would play on the radio while my parents drove us around. Meandering and undynamic, cheap-sounding synthesizers that still somehow cost thousands of dollars, some lame dude crooning a line like "go wash your hands and fingers until your mind is clean" (real quote from this song), and it's six and a half minutes long for some godforsaken reason. Here's something I actually like, for the sake of thread content. It's similarly love-it-or-hate-it, and similarly very 90s, but from '98: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYsMjEeEg4g It's kind of "edgy" ("been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding"), yet also completely rote and cliche almost as soon as it was released. "[...]and I don't even own a TV" is so famously pretentious it's hacky now. The album it's from is actually pretty good, surprisingly enough.

Woah I totally forgot Harvey Danger had a singular huge song. I think I even listened to their followup album and then forgot they existed for over a decade. Feels like the 90s had way more one hit wonders than we see today but I don't know if that's just my perception or if the nature of the medium has just changed how hits work and that's all it is.

While I played the English version of this, the beats and jokes are almost exactly the same as the Swedish version! And I’m glad my memory was right, it’s exactly as nineties as I remember it.

To be fair, Orzabal (the guy from Tears for Fears) always came across to me as an assholish pretentious dick and either seems to try too hard on their 90s albums (Elemental and Raoul) or maybe not to try at all at least lyrically. TFF has done better than that before, but I still like their 90s material for some reason, maybe nostalgia. The piano outro from Mr. Pessimist sounds just too loving good to me so yeah get bent. This is a very 90s looking video, by the way. Who the gently caress came up with those white flashes at every scene change? https://vimeo.com/277624444

Anyway, the number of one-hit wonders from the 90s? It's because literally every music mogul and executive was desperately trying to find the next Nirvana. They wanted to recapture the same disruptive energy that Grunge had on the landscape and culture. I think the closest they got was No Doubt. Eventually BSB and Britney Spears blew altrock out of the water, and a new generation of disposable also-ran imitators was born.

I'm talking about the album from Sepultura called Roots. FilthyImp posted:It's hard to conceptualize music artists now because we're old fucks and don't keep up with poo poo until it's blaring out of a TV spot or movie trailer. But it does seem harder to track since the ipod blew up the music market and killed the TRL model of popularization. It's most definitely this. Basically it was all garage bands with a minor contract, in an attempt to catch that lightning. Had it not been for Nirvana, most of these bands would have been happy being the first opener on a 3 state regional leg of a tour for a much larger band. It's also why the follow up albums were overproduced and the bands never took off beyond that.

Had it not been for Nirvana, most of these bands would have been happy being the first opener on a 3 state regional leg of a tour for a much larger band. It's also why the follow up albums were overproduced and the bands never took off beyond that. I kind of feel like that actually ruined a lot of bands. They had their moment in the sun, they got pushed like mad, and then executive meddling trying to force them to be The Next Big Thing caused them to poo poo out a garbage second album and then get discarded. Everybody remembered not only how huge punk rock had been but that punk rock was still going strong. It wasn't nearly as huge as grunge was at the time but that "gently caress you I'm doing what I want" edge was a factor in both grunge and alternative rock. It also didn't help that record companies had a deserved reputation at that point for pushing for albums that had two good songs and 40 minutes of filler. As time went by the big labels realized that they could sell an image rather than music. You can actually read about how a hell of a lot of the most famous pop musicians of the current day are 100% manufactured and largely fake. I forget who the musicians were but there was this big publicly forced rivalry between the two. They'd write songs at each other on their albums and show up in each others' music videos acting like "well I didn't want to do this but there's a contract sooooo..." Then behind the scenes they were actually good friends acting a part. Mind, I don't blame them because, hey, gotta earn those Benjamins but the mainstream music industry is just a gigantic loving lie right now. I got sidetracked and rambled but I feel like Kittie is a great example of the band that landed in the spotlight then immediately faded into obscurity after their second album. Spit is still one of my favorite albums ever but Oracle was...less so. Granted Spit came out in 2000 but their sound was 90's metal as gently caress.

I was tempted to mock them as Matchbox 20 imitators, which is possibly the lowest thing a band could be? But it turns out this song came out almost a year before Matchbox 20.  It's like the missing link between the suckiness of Counting Crows and the suckiness of Matchbox 20.
