Even today many residents there drive (they were super against the latest slate of car tolling in midtown), this was all the more the case in the late 80s and 90s. People DO drive in nyc. uws. the show described the ues as outside the bounds of civilization kramer posted:Aren't you a part of society? Because if you don't want to be a part of society, Jerry, why don't you just get in your car and move to the East Side?”.

Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova are all still great songs If you listen closely to the INXS song Elegantly Wasted you'll hear they're actually singing "I'm better than Oasis"

"wonderwall" just became the default song to insert into your bad joke about a guy playing acoustic guitar at a party and then people had to act like they hated it the whole time.

i was the target audience for britpop and it loving worked. i was mad (in the "mad for it!" sense) about oasis and that image of blair and noel was huge. some important government guy and our kid shaking hands and enjoying life? things can only get better and all that. it was better than whatever the gently caress we have now i guess

I was madferit in my teens. working class anthems from two blokes who could give a rats rear end about punctuality or class. Always my jam. Wonderwall is just the get rich song. Noel picked up some songbooks and hacked up some of the best pop songs ever into an album. He's a brilliant thief rly, as a kid you'd never know.

Maybe the Spice Girls were an op: praising Thatcher, Union Jack skirts etc. But sometimes a zig-a-zig-ah is just a zig-a-zig-ah.

scary ghost dog posted:gorillaz was originally damon albarn teaming up with jamie hewlett to make a band that couldnt be directly connected to a nation, culture or even group of musicians, so it tracks that it would be a personal response to being exploited for nationalist purposes actually, it was to make the artists image and overall style interchangeable, malleable and replaceable to create a modern Monkees that could position itself at the top of the charts to rapidly exploit emerging cultural trends before competition could hence Gorillaz they ended up perfecting the project with Drake

pangstrom posted:Had a few experiences recently where people were talking semi-positively about watching HIMYM (one was on a podcast... chapo maybe?) and it was totally shocking to me. I always assumed it was unwatchable garbage like two and a half men or something. What? Two and a Half Men is a lot better than HIMYM
