I think we should also mention the defeners that say that they hate black culture but not black people and only like Eminem because he's white.

It's not Eminem anymore, it's Macklemore now.
 
I listen to a little of everything, across all genres and ages.

Looking at one of my random playlists, you'd be as likely to find Led Zeppelins' The Immigrant Song or Nirvana listed under some old school from Ray Charles, Chanting monks, ponystomp techno, or a random symphonic metal number sandwiched with some Bollywood hip-hop & Flogging Molly.

If I had to name a specific kind of music that was my favorite, I'd have to say cover songs. Call me cheap if you will, but I love it when a band takes a song and takes it off in another direction with it.
 
The 90's nostalgia especially on social media sites like Tumblr and youtube has gotten out of hand in the last few years. I am tired of seeing post about how current cartoons, music, video games, tv, movies, etc. is trash and the 90's had better media. They are just looking at the past with rose tinted glasses. There was alot of garbage back then but people only remember the good stuff from that era.

The reason the "Dark ages" got it's name was because some Italians were butthurt because they were not living in classical Rome.

one thing I enjoy about Le90's kids is that they claim that music back then wasn't all about sex.
guess all they listen to is Mainstream shit like Queen and Beatles.

Good as they are, all those songs, even Bon Scott's, are nothing compared to this piece of entendre gold.

(Beautiful Celtic harp & drum music plays in the background, overlaid with a wonderful women's alto voice, singing in Gaelic...)

Me: "That's lovely honey, it's so pretty and calm, what is it about?"

The Knife: "Oh, that's the ballad of (something unpronounceable in Gaelic), It's about a woman who's man goes off to war, and then she is raped by the king's messenger who brought her the letter about her husband dying, then her kids and her starve to death because the occupying British solders in her house ate all their food."

Me: "Oh, okay." :heart-empty:

I used to help run sound at a folk venue where "yelling out the body count" was the thing to do at trad shows. Those Child ballads are grim, yo.
 
Talking about retro songs with innuendo in the titles/lyrics reminds me of, well, the mid 90's. When teachers, a fair amount of parents, and other adults-in-charge never seemed to notice the dirty lyrics in the Macarena, or "Barbie Girl" (or whatever it was called), or <insert a Spice Girls song here>.
 
I remember the 90's having so many boy bands (I remember listening to NSync as a kid).

You think One Direction is the first to do this? Think again.

One can argue that The Beatles (up until Sgt. Pepper anyways) were also a boy band.

Only 90's kids remember the New Kids on the Block cartoon show.

All I ever knew was
mumblemumblemumblemumblemumble Macarena!
mumblemumblemumblemumblemumble Macarena.
mumblemumblemumblemumblemumble Macarena!
HEEEEEEEY MACARENA! ai-ight~!
 
Here's one of the filthiest songs I've ever heard -- from 1935


And how about this 300+ year-old song's tale of incest, madness, and mass child-murder?

I hated every second of it.

To be fair the lyrics are in Spanish. But I think it's funny as hell because this was a song the music teachers actually had on hand in the music classroom to occasionally play.
 
Le 90's kids doesn't just end with Music.
it also applies to Video Games and probably movies.
I've seen kids on youtube claim that they wish they were born in the 80's/90's when video games was better and punched kids in the face for thinking that "Halo is better than Kid Icarus"

I was born in the 80's and I found myself wishing I was born in the 70's when I was in high school so I could experience the 80's in full.

It never changes.

Why does everyone have a boner for the 90s? I mean I liked the 90s, but that was because I wasn't an adult living with responsibilities.
Like, watching Rocko's Modern Life and Kenen and Kel is easier to do today then when they were on the air thanks to technology we have today.
I love how these kids talk about how they wish they grew up 20 years ago while they play their XTendoStations and look at their iDroids.

That rage comic is the most not happening thing that never happened. This just seems like a case of greener pastures honestly.

I think there's a reason why nostalgiafags exists. Annoying comics like 'rage' will make anyone say "The 80/90s were better!"
 
I feel like the whole 90's kids phenomena is just another example of the way people romanticize the past. There have always been people that are nostalgic for the past, even if they didn't necessarily experience it. I imagine that it's just something that's intrinsic to people. The past can look enticing due its general mystique and how much it differs from the present.

I don't have much patience for people who make the claim that only old music is good. Dadrockers have never sat well with me. Tastes in anything, be it music or vidya, are ultimately subjective. That being said, I like to have this chart on hand.

I do think there is a creative lull in media at the moment, specifically in music, film, and books. There's a lot of rehashing going on, old guard types trying to find formulas in an increasingly unpredictable market. I don't think this is a permeant problem, I think the industry is just struggling to figure out where it stands in a post-internet world.

There's still good music out there, it just doesn't end up on the radio.

Is there a rehashing going on in the literature/publishing industry?
