Poll: 80's Nostalgia vs 90's Nostalgia

[Ryan]

In every sense of the phrase, holy crap

[MaxWebster]

I like to think of myself as a pretty chill person who's kind to others and wishes most people well...

...but I just spent 20 minutes laughing my ass off at this article. me:



...so yes, it was a long-ass time ago but I was in a band that opened for Live on their Throwing Copper tour and they could not have been bigger assholes (notably/especially Ed and their guitar player) to us, our crew, and everyone we saw them interact with; by far the worst I ever worked with, I don't even know who would be next in line.

Ed K might have come out best in the story just from the lack of access. Assuming he doesn’t actually support the sexual assaulter.

I think I’ve whined about this before but they were supposed to do a set at my college’s spring picnic, 1994 so just as they were hitting, and it sprinkled that afternoon and they refused to play. So get ‘em max!

It’s Day La Soul, Buddy! Finally out on streaming. Already listed to 3 Feet High and Rising this morning before class.

I always thought Live was shit. I can't stand that Lightning Crashes song. It's unfair to lump them with Everclear and Filter who were much better bands.

Man, this guy was basically the Shop At Home Alex Jones.

That Princess Bear is paying for my kids’ college tuition. Change Beanie Babies out for Dominion voting machines and he sounds exactly like Mike Lindell.

When my wife and I first started dating, her childhood room was full of her mom's BB collection. Every shelf, every surface, everywhere. It was a running family joke for a long time. I really don't know (or maybe knew and forgot) what she did with them when she downsized and moved.

Sold them for millions, I'm sure.

When I went to Asia back in 1999 two or three of the women that went came home with trash bags full of knock off beanie babies. They thought they were going to get filthy rich. And who is the one that gets stopped at customs at LAX. This guy.

Also, Don West is an American Icon. Do not disparage his good name by linking him with Alex Jones. I didn't hear one damn conspiracy theory or false flag narrative out of his mouth. Don just loved to sell memorabilia and call wresting matches. RIP Don West.

[Pruitt IV]

My son was born in 1996, and his aunts in Chicago (where I think the craze kind of started) sent him a bunch of Beanie Babies. He loved them and we - and grandmothers etc.) kept buying them.

Must have had like 40 at one point. My sister-in-law was shocked when she saw him chewing on the ear of one of them - she claimed that it was worth hundreds. We laughed, figuring that it would be worth $5 in a few months. And it was.

But if it wasn't the early days of the web, we probably would have cleared a couple of hundred bucks by selling them, but it didn't seem worth it to take his toys away.

I can’t see how someone watches this and doesn’t say 90s:

[The Sybian]

AI is going to put those people out of work.

[A_B]

AI is going to put those people out of work.

I'm not convinced they aren't AI.

[L-Jam3]

I believe comedy is going to be the final frontier for AI to conquer. Simple parody maybe, but it's going to take a relative long time to understand sarcasm first of all, and then to craft humor that's actually funny and incisive? That's something I predict is far off.

Who gets there first, AI or the "right"?

Fully agree, but there is going to be a ton of unintentional comedy along the way. Like the AI attempt at a beer commercial. That was incredible. I could see eventually writing jokes being successful occasionally, but not telling jokes or comedic acting.

[mister d]

One and the same? The right that S's musk's D all day will just add calling AI humor "epic" to their daily routine.

[L-Jam3]

What even is Republican humor anyway? First of all, the vast majority of them are too dumb and/or emotionally stunted to understand sarcasm. And the more salient point is that humor is mostly derived from punching up. Punching up can make you a prick, but one that speaks truth to power. Punching down just makes you a piece of shit.

Like I'm picturing a Republican joke like:

Q: What do you call 5 black suspects getting shot by police?

A: A good start.

[mister d]

Essentially its that or playing sycophant to clearly unfunny posts by Musk, Shapiro, etc.

@elonmusk
Can’t wait to make Zuckerberg FACE my BOOKS(fists)!

3,000 blue checks: lmao epic

Anyone else want to register for a 90s music trivia competition?

[govmentchedda]

You know I'm in.

[duff]

Is it cheating that I am half way through the podcast?

[Ryan]

I asked for the book for Xmas so I'm hoping that Dec 14th date is the start of a nice long window to participate.

By the way, for I think $28 you can also sign up for the yearlong sports league. It's 10 questions a week for 48 weeks, but only your top 24 count so you don't have to remember every time. Takes like 5 minutes. I might be doing okay in the season that's about to wrap up.

Don’t forget every night has its dawn guys

[Giff]

Takes me back to my hands on a girls hips while hers are on my shoulders and our bodies are at least one foot apart or Mr. Alexander will make sure they are.

[tennbengal]

Don’t forget every night has its dawn guys

Just one of the worst timelines.

[rass]

I’m definitely more team good nostalgia than bad on that one. TB just a bit older than Giff and I and maybe can’t feel the same way.

[Shirley]

I'm Team TB. Hair metal was awful even at the time. And the copycat trend of them all making rock ballads with black-and-white videos was probably the nadir of the whole thing.

[A_B]

I fucking love hair metal and yacht rock can die.

[DSafetyGuy]

I fucking love hair metal and yacht rock can die.

Please continue...

[duff]

I fucking love hair metal and yacht rock can die.

This is the absolute truth.

And when was Lenny Kravitz in Poison?

[Shirley]

I fucking love hair metal and yacht rock can die.

I'm not a huge fan of a lot of yacht rock either. But I do like Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers, if they count.

[Sabo]

I fucking love hair metal and yacht rock can die.

Now we know what you believe, fool.

[rass]

AB isn’t comfortable wearing his heart on the polyester sleeve of a wide-collared shirt with less buttons buttoned than not. He prefers to hide his feelings, letting them out between bouts of plastic sound via the acoustic guitars and soaring double-harmonies of a power ballad.

We see you AB. And we love you for you.

[EnochRoot]

Why not both?

10 pages into this and it’s hilarious

[Brontoburglar]

this is a yacht rock hate thread?

the three most-listened-to channels in our cars are yacht rock radio, 90s on 9 and 80s on 8
