This was my most hated song from the 90s. It just felt like it was on the radio all the time, and it was so slow and boring

This has probably been posted before, but it still holds as one of the most '90s of '90s alternative songs to me. Beavis & Butthead had some good rips on it, too.

Huh. So it is, which is kinda surprising because it sounds like it could have been any of the mediocre soft-grunge bands. I guess it still got radio play after a few years because I remember it solidly being a tune I heard on the radio in the 90's.

One of the things from Pop Up Video I remember was that the letter Courtney Cox is reading in that video is a poem the lead singer of Counting Crows wrote her. Which instantly made me hate him because, that just sounds like the most pretentious artist kind of thing to do.

Everyone from the 90s hates Country Love.

I think one of the songs i hate from the 90s is Babylon Zoo's Spaceman. It starts off and it sounds like its going be this cool Prodigy jungle beats song, but then that intro ends and it turns into a super lame NIN rip off.

No lie, a while ago I woke up from a dream, no idea what the dream was, and I for some reason had the strong feeling that Counting Crows were actually pretty decent and that I should give them another chance.

Jesus Christ, I have no idea why my subconscious mind would lie to me like that. Maybe Randaconda established some kind of psychic link with me. If so: don't do that again dude that was hosed up

What the gently caress is the deal with that intro/outro? :psyduck:
Make up your mind, Babylon Zoo dude, either that all the way through the song or the main part. Jesus.

EDIT: Never mind, just found out there's two different mixes of that. One for a Levi's ad that's 100% high-pitched. The video uses two versions for some crap reason.

The Levis ad got a lor of records sold as people thought the whole song could be as good as the intro.


Suckers.


A Levis ad also got Stiltskin a lot of album and single sales.

drat, that song had staying power, then. I remember my local ‘modern hits’ station playing that right alongside Sugar Ray’s “Fly”, Eagle Eye Cherry’s “Save Tonight”, Third Eye Blind’s “Jumper”, and Will Smith’s “Miami” (all from the ‘90s, I checked this time).

It almost feels like "Oh you think we're gonna do this techno poo poo? Lol loser, we're actually a lovely rock band, because that's what real music is!"

I think Final Fantasy VIII's Zell is one of the most late 90s character design, if you don't count The Bouncer (started development in the 90s, but came out 2000).



Spiked hair? Check. lovely tribal tattoo? Check.



Also pants that are at once both jorts and JNCOs.

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.

Todd in the Shadows has a good video about Flagpole Sitta and he at least argues the band is fully self aware.

Watching old Eurovision performances on YouTube because why not, and the UK entry from 1996 gives me nineties-related feelings. Not just the song, which was everywhere, but also the dresses on the dancers. There's something very 1996 about those sort of bright colours.

I may be misremembering, but I think it was heavily suspected some had feathers, but outright proof wasn't found until either shorty before or shortly after the release.
