Very much. Poor Brian Wilson is desperate to get out of there on the video. And that song is totally something you'd hear Mike Love play at his sad county fair beach boys.

And remember this kid?

Yes the ad is from the late 80s, but i still saw it a lot in the 90s. Also again, having a computer not able to help with your school work lol.
They did make a followup in the 90s though

That was a big selling point of Windows machines at the time, Encarta, which had all that information on ONE CD ROM!

Okay, now I'm just confused by someone thinking it matters if people wear sneakers with pants.

Maybe I am a fashion rear end in a top hat but it looks insanely tacky. It is like tucking your shirt in without a belt or or wearing cargo pants.

Its extremely 90s apropos of the thread but still a thing you see often and it is cringey.

Sneakers are fine. High tops are okay, too. But cross trainers are tacky as gently caress with pants.

Oh no
What used to be often called cross trainers are now usually called trainers. I think he basically means “the sneakers with soles that curl up in front and back”.

e.g. Nike Air Max.

You need to show us what you mean by cross trainers that look awful with jeans, because there are a lot of ugly rear end shoes out there, hell, Jordans for a while were really ugly.

The Spice Girls are always like 10 minutes away from a reunion

Sugar Ray guy (Mark McGrath) hosts a 90s themed music show on Sirius XM

BSB is (amazingly) still a touring act and recently put out DNA, their 9th (!!) studio album. They had a short tour with New Kids on the Block a few years back. They're actually really, really grateful the fans turn out for their tours and have a good sense of humor.

Ben Folds Five had a reunion album 7 years back (The Sound of the Life of the Mind) and Ben Folds himself still writes songs and records and tours.

Britney Spears had a residency in Vegas and may be trying to get control of her life back from the conservatorship run by her father. She's come a long way from the half-interested "comeback" on MTV and she's basically a poster child for trying to deal with mental issues when you're one of the most visible people on the planet (turns out, it sucks).

Even though BSB predated Nsync, it was amazing how when you see them, BSB only function together, but Timberlake was so far ahead of everyone in Nsync.

NSync was started because Chris Kirkpatrick didn't make the cut for BSB, and after they got some traction he went back to their fat pedo manager Lou Perlman and suggested an astroturfed rivalry that caused Perlman to hallucinate fat wads of cash exploding on immaculate post-teen abs. The team was put together for its marketability. To the point that Lance Bass was an alternate that actually kind of could sing and ended up rounding out their sound by coincidence.

NSync was also able to use a loophole in their contract to get away from Perlman faster, while BSB as a whole looked up to the guy as a surrogate father and were crazy betrayed from all that fallout and their own struggle to get away from him.

Silverstone became some new age woo queen, too.

Folds branches out from music into producing, too. He's been active. His continued friendship with Shatner sucks, though.

Was 3 feet an unreachable hard limit to pizza technology at the time? Can we go over 3 feet now?

Going over 3 feet results in dangerous mutations (pus-filled sausages, cheese turning into worms, etc.). Even 3 feet even is pushing it and Little Caesar's had to eventually drop the whole thing due to the waste produced by failed product.

This dude is wearing cross trainers.

Not sneakers.

Example:

Onitsuki Tigers are sneakers=okay
Asic Gels are cross trainers=tacky

Ross trainers are designed with that elaborate sole and poly material sole for doing...cross training.

Sneakers are simpler and largely a comfy fashion shoe.
