Ok Comboomer posted:Portlandia could not be conceived post-Trump My partner had never seen the Marvel movies and we've been watching them in order, and the whole language of those Phase 1 movies feels like it's from a million years ago. The first two Iron Man films in particular feel very interesting, especially the Elon Musk cameo from before he basically tried to position himself as a real-life Tony Stark.

Cars, but especially Honda, in the 90’s is still a huge nostalgic spot for me. Tiny cars  With removable tops  That stow in the somehow massive trunk  Zig-zag floor mats and striped seats

Mentioned how my Goth girl thing comes from the video for Stay, and I'm pretty sure Redheads are a thing due to Cathy Dennis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xiwxfxVUZA Awkward as this song is on the playlist at work now. Though i can appreciate it on the level of my love for cheesy 90s dance music. Apparently she wrote a bunch of Britney Spear's biggest hits? Crazy.

Yup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpBFOJ3R0M4 Also their Drummer, Butch Vig, was the producer on Nirvana and did a remix of House of Pain's Shamrocks and Shenanigans, which sounds like a St Patrick's day cartoon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOGQDqY-_5w House of Pain always felt a bit, i dunno, nazi to me. I mean maybe it was just the goatees and shaved heads that screemed Neo-Nazi to me. Probably their one note We're IRISH MOTHERFUCKERS didn't help. I don't know if DJ Lethal going to Limp Bizkit is an up or downgrade?

That's not to say it's impossible that any of them ever became radical right-wingers; but at least during the time they put that music out, it's hard to imagine they would be.

I know they're A Thing in Japan for some beverages there, and I swear I've seen an American juice or soda using them too. I don't know if they still do, but Hood used to make, of all things, sour cream in that form factor, for when you got a to-go order of like, potato skins or tacos or whatever from one of those ubiquitous Greek-owned Italian places around here.

And white rappers were not respected, check out my earlier post of horribly unflattering renderings of some of them from 1999. As i said in that post, and to expand on it, they were seen and interlopers and when you think about it, most white rappers either rapped about their heritage, like house of pain, or were kinda party rap or bragging poo poo. You didn't have NWA, Snoop, Public Enemy, KRS-1, Nas level street cred white guys. Beasties got kinda grandfathered in because they were early enough. I may be wrong though, I am not an expert on hip hop history.

Beastie Boys were also not a one-trick pony. They had real musical chops and changed their style enough over the years to keep it interesting. They had the benefit of not having every song be "were the best because we're from New York" or whatever. They also have the proud distinction of not trying to coop the black and latinx culture of hip-hop and instead carved out their own weird niche.

As someone who was a dumpy nu metal teen, the shaved head + goatee was just the style at the time. At worst, it might have been appropriated from black rappers.

Totally, I was more theorizing why "X" stuck with fans and the gaming press (who would have spread the PSX nomenclature). Uh also Jason X* and X-Com came out in the 90s and I forgot those. *2001, which was still the 90s until September.

It also took a long time before Beastie Boys were considered to be anything more than a gimmick. They had some cred early on because they were one of the first Def Jam acts, but that good will went away once they left the label and moved to LA and Capitol Records. 3rd Bass was seen as the legitimate white rap act when Pauls Boutique came out, and even though that album is seen as influential today, it was initially considered a failure and was largely overlooked.
