Literally any time I listen to STP I cannot stop concentrating on the really great bass riffs. Any song, just do this. Focus on the bass groove if you haven’t already and you will enjoy the song even more.

I'm half convinced that 90s kid memes are supposed to be wrong because almost every single one is anachronistic Does anyone remember 90s school fundraisers? They'd have everyone gather and a super hyped up guy would talk about all the cool prizes you could get if you sold hundreds of dollars in wrapping paper/magazines/lovely chocolate One of the consistent prizes was like a stuffed hedgehog that had little baby hedgehogs stuffed inside it. Anyone remember that thing and know where I can get one?

Never really got into Core, it was too hunger-dunger for me (before post-grunge was even A Thing!), but I do recognize that it’s a good album. I loving loved Purple and Tiny Music though, and always will; the former is one of my all-times. I had to go through an STP rabbit hole a few weeks ago, and it just isn’t the same with the new guy. I hadn’t heard any of Chester Bennington’s stuff with them though.

I'm not sure if the limo ride was a widespread prize or just reserved for those of us in the backwoods. The Money Machine was one of those booths where you had a minute to grab bills flying around. Probably very small denominations. There was a candy bar sale one year, though, that had the most awesome caramel bars. They weren't name brand and I can't remember much about what they looked like to search for them.

I don't remember my elementary school fundraisers having prizes. I did some kind of reading thing sponsored by world book encyclopedia though. If everyone in the class read enough, we would get a set of encyclopedias for the classroom, and individual prizes. I got an eraser shaped like a shoe. It was nice because one of the cool kids in class had a shoe eraser before, so having one made me cool as well. I don't know if parents were throwing cash at this behind the scenes, or if WB was feeling the heat from computers and the internet.

I knew exactly one kid in '99 who had a CD burner and he was a stingy rear end motherfucker when it came to CDRs. Mu Zeta posted:We had to sell lovely magazines and got these as a prize Yeah, it was like pulling teeth for my parents to order one magazine so I could even get one, and they would never try to peddle them to their coworkers either.

I probably still have most of the requested songs in a folder somewhere on a backup. I used to fill empty space on the disc with random audio clips from the Simpsons and dumb prank calls. Met my first girlfriend that way. She heard from a friend I could burn CDs and contacted me through AIM or icq or something. Trillian represent. I guess that was mid 2000 but is still counts.

The 90s basically continued as a feeling up until the Presidential election, and culturally remained feeling 90s up to 9/11, I’ll allow it

The 90s had a resurgence of songs written by extremely bitter women pissed off at their ex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nrGWwHalCU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PjLkB7BlpA this one is a bit more serious, but it's a good song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfKKBDFCiIA

I recently discovered the existence of this movie due to the woman who plays the bad guys chief henchwoman was arrested in my store. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9z3eCQt8QQ This movie was made in 1997! I know Canucksploitation is generally seen as cheap, but holy poo poo the fact this was made just over 20 years ago but it looks like something made in the early 70s. Was there even a demand for movies like this at that time? I mean i was renting Wishmaster and stuff like that which promised both boobs and blood, but those looked like they were shot in contemporary equipment.

Media Play was the greatest; I always preferred it to places like CompUSA and Best Buy and Circuit City. The one where I lived in metro Detroit had a little cafe, too, where you could get hot dogs and popcorn and beverages, too. And they had a massive periodicals section and their console and PC areas had demo units galore. My brother and I would beg to go there if our mom was doing shopping down the street at the Southland Mall. Here's some video I found on YouTube of a guy walking through there with what I assume was a huge blocky 90's handheld camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGIhcJ7nKmo Gonz has a new favorite as of 23:56 on Jun 24, 2020 |

One of Michael Moore's movies has a scene where he's doing an in-store at the Rockford Media Play and a couple friends of mine had a brief cameo.
