Shiroc posted:Woodstock '69 postures when it was really the deathknell of hippie love culture, with Altamont stomping it out a couple months later. "Did you ever dream about a place you never really recall being to before? A place that maybe only exists in your imagination? Some place far away, half remembered when you wake up. When you were there, though, you knew the language. You knew your way around. *That* was the sixties. ... No. It wasn't that either. It was just '66 and early '67. That's all there was."

Ok Comboomer posted:a bunch of sexual assaults and a literal poo poo fight=“doing fine” I don't remember there being an epidemic of sexual assaults or a poo poo fight reported at Woodstock '94 (those things def happened at '99). Not that it didn't have some big problems, but by most accounts I've read it was probably the smoothest of the 3 Woodstocks.

There's a NIN interview where various members talk about being hit with sewage-smelling mud that "had piss and poo poo in it". People tipped a bunch of port-o-potties into the mosh area and then chucked that resulting sludge at each other and at the stage

I do think you are confusing 94 and 99 somewhat. 94 is only covered in passing early in it. NiN did play 94 though offspring didnt. And when they talk about the mud as regards to 94 the talking heads seem to consistently just call it mud. Not so as regards the 99 show. The organizers did not come across as well in that doc as i think they assumed they would. remusclaw has a new favorite as of 19:24 on Aug 4, 2021 |

Good thing I’ve loaded up on image dumps. Though “arguing about Woodstock 69 vs. 94 vs. 99” is kinda ‘90s.    CAN YOU HEAR THE SONG???

It looks like there was a problem with overflowing toilets at '94, but I haven't seen anything about sexual assault occurring. It wouldn't surprise me if something did occur, considering there were 500,000 people at show that only sold <200,000 tickets and the security was pretty non-existent (not as bad as '99 tho), but I have yet to find any mention of it.

Apparently Youtube has had "Beavis and Butthead Do America" available to watch for free since June, and that's an incredibly 90s thing in so many ways; it's absolutely an artifact of its time.

I feel like Beavis and Butthead is kind of the most edgy show ever made, even if Family Guy and poo poo are more overtly transgressive with rape jokes and poo poo. Like Family Guy can't help but soapbox. South Park of course became a soap box quite quickly. But there's really no moral or moralizing to Beavis and Butthead besides, at best, a general condemnation that society is broken; but no causes or solutions are suggested. It's just two ugly and stupid idiots unleashed in an ugly and stupid world, doing ugly and stupid things and seldom if ever facing meaningful consequences for it. It's pure nihilism in a way that really nothing in the world of animation I can think of before or since has been.

When Beavis and Butthead do America came out, it opened at midnight at one little two screen theater in my hometown, and the place was packed with stoner type kids from 3 local high schools that night. It was a beautiful experience. They closed and tore the theater down about a year later.

I hate myself and I want to die for me. There are two versions of that song that I’ve heard, and the BBdA version is the better of the two. Poetry and prose and 99 ways to die are also great songs from that soundtrack. E: I just realized those songs are from the beavis and butthead experience, not the movie soundtrack.

Beavis and Butthead is hard to recommend anyone to hunt down, because the best parts were the music videos which a) exposed me to bands my little kid self would never have seen on TV otherwise (Dinosaur Jr, Pavement) and b) was absolutely the funniest stuff. With that stripped out, it's just these oddly sedate but nihilistic vignettes, which I guess do invoke aimless summers when you're a young teen.

Dexter has a PhD in molecular biology, so he knows his poo poo. Good for them for kicking out the drummer. Offspring were one of the first bands I got into as a kid and I still enjoy listening to some of their stuff once in a while. They always seemed cool as far as I could tell so it’s heartwarming to know they probably are.

Davis definitely seems like a mostly OK guy whose heart is in the right place even though he's clearly made some very tasteless and questionable choices over the years. He doesn't usually get defensive when called out about stuff like the homophobic lyrics of "All in the Family" (I recall they omitted that song entirely from some recent anniversary thing).
