I propose that what the letter X was to the late 90s, the letter i was to the 2000s. Everybody tried to copy Apple (badly) on the i-naming scheme. BMW named their infotainment iDrive, etc.

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.

I went back and listened to some 3rd Bass but while flow is good, that poo poo is corny.

Ahaha, what a bitch.

Though they couldn't have been that bad, i mean MF Doom was tight with them. I guess that rap that has people dancing and bright outfits seems outdated when the 90s became dominated by hard core street level stuff.

10000 Maniacs formed in 1981. I don't think they stuck a number in their name to be 90s.

Aside from getting shot in the head, David, what have you done with yourself?
Eiffel 65 meant to be just Eiffel and the 65 was part of a phone number that accidentally got associated with it and became the name.

The 90s thing with numbers was there being little or no explanation for the number. 1000 Maniacs conjures some sort of idea or image. Blink 182 was also originally Blink and just tacked on the number.

I think they perfectly mixed the campy nostalgia sci-fi themes of old italodisco, some elements of the darker synth pop of the 80s like Depeche Mode wrapped up in the (then) modern late 90s dance sound to make something unique.
