    In 2009 or so my high school choir director decided we'd sing Zoot Suit Riot for our pop/jazz themed concert. To make it worse, imagine a 60-something year old saying "Cherry Popping Daddies" into a microphone in an auditorium filled with parents. Worst musical experience I've ever had.

    One thing Finn misses about the 90’s. No matter what your thing was. No matter how out there or “strange” your musical taste was there was something for you. This is why so many people who were teens in the 90’s are insanely eclectic in their musical taste.

    Brand new theory: Remember that brief time in the late 90's/early 00's when bands like Static-X, Rammstein, Orgy, Powerman 5000, and Rob Zombie were topping the charts? That was fucking weird in hindsight that we all just agreed industrial disco metal was something we should all listen to. My theory of why European music is so fucking weird is that they never left that mindset. I can't tell if that makes me want to move to Europe or avoid it forever.

    I was born in 1986 so yeah, I remember the '90s pretty well and I unashamedly believe it **was** the best decade for music in general. If you plan on doing a part 3, I would suggest Freak by Silverchair and either Breathe or Firestarter by the Prodigy. These weren't just obscure songs back then, they were hits constantly on MTV and the radio. These are some good examples of what people mean when they talk about '90s popular music. Both the music and the film clips had this heavy, grimey and dark vibe that you just don't see in top 10 chart singles anymore. And yes, team sporty spice all the way (with a bit of a soft spot for baby and posh) 😂

    I'm a 90s kid. My entire teenage existence was in the 90s, and I mean that completely literally - I turned 19 in 1999. So needless to say, I love the 90s and have a heavy bias towards that decade in general. But having actually lived in the era, I know the terrible stuff just as much as I know the great stuff. Not everything can be forgotten or glossed over via nostalgia. Some great music for sure, but definitely a fair share of terrible music as well.

    Yes! This is exactly what I tell people when they get nostalgic about the 90s. It was a pretty cool decade in retrospect, especially how tons of underground bands got signed to major labels (that will NEVER happen again). But most of it was just quirky novelty music that got stale quicker than it got fresh.
    My high-school marching band played Zoot Suit Riot in the stands at football games, and that definitely makes me cringe, now. The only thing cool about that swing craze was young drummers wanting to learn the jazz ride cymbal pattern.

    I love how a certain generation of guys in Hollywood seem to have internalized Swing Revival lingo and kept it going into the 2020s (Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith in particular). My favorite thing about Rob Zombie is if you ask someone to put on the song about the evil car you have to clarify which evil car song you're referring to. I'll always appreciate Under the Bridge because one night when I was in high school I was with a group of friends at the beach and some sketchy dude came up to us and once he noticed my friend's guitar he asked him to play something and my friend decided to play Under the Bridge and it turned into this nice singalong but I heard from someone that knew the guy a week or so later that he was actually planning on robbing us at knifepoint until he got distracted by the guitar.

    generational nostalgia has always been fascinating to me. I was in HS/college in the 90’s. For instance I remember bands like Green Day were maligned for having “no talent”, particularly guitar talent. no one back then would have EVER imagined they would go on to be a Hall of Fame band. In fact, if all the guys hanging onto the 80’s HATED 90’s music for lack of musical ability . Like “Peaches” back then, metal heads be like wtf is this garbage?! definitely it was a battle of genres on the radio! I was actually into “classic rock” back then…. Now I’m just as removed from 90’s rock than I was from 70’s rock back then! 🤯
