The 90s were an innocent time, where the idea of a guy removing a rib in order to suck himself off was the most outrageous thing we could imagine.
-
Not to mention all the shit that wasn't being captured on any kind of recording at the time.
The rose tint feels so fuckin good tho, right?
-
yeah and for a lot of people who'd be using lemmy, the reason they weren't aware of all this shit is our parents kept us safe from it

I mean - I probably got to live the very best of the 90s Americana as a suburban kid with an old computer and a modem in it.
I still saw a lot of shit going on in the world. I mean ... AIDS pandemic, anyone? Remember fear around shaking someone's hand?
Sometimes I think the problem is that at any GIVEN time, like 2/3 of people aren't paying attention to what is happening outside their own immediate experience.

I think "bizarre" would be more fitting

Sorry bud, but I think you just used to be more innocent.
Just look at the celebrities and culture of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s... Even the whole outrage culture pushed by conservative media like Fox News also goes that far back!
The fashion of the day changes but humanity itself.. not so much!

What about Ozzy eating a bat on stage?
-
What's the mecca thing? I don't remember that one
-
It was a long time before that when (allegedly) a rib was removed from a man to create the first woman so he wouldn't have to suck it himself.

Or when Ozzy wouldn't go on stage without a brandy glass full of M&Ms?

Maybe OP was simply a child then? Children arent usually exposed to / aware of the total shitstorm that is politics.

Was that Ozzy? Whoever it was, it was a request for a bowl of only brown M&Ms backstage and their reasoning was that, if that request wasn't fulfilled, whoever was responsible didn't do their job and they'd assume that other, necessary stuff also wasn't done properly. Kind of a canary, in a way.

This was what I thought the OP was talking about at first. It took me a minute to remember that urban legend from the 90s.
-
However, this apparently a stand-alone incident

I suspect people living in Sarajevo in the 90's resent that opinion.

Funny you mention that. When I saw the comment, I was listening to the Fallout Boy version

I mean as bad as those things were, none of those things come close to recent events. Look at your examples and compare them to "worldwide virus kills millions and the entire planet goes into quarantine for a couple years" or "president of the United States fails to get reelected so he foments a literal coup on the US government and his rioting mob breaks into the capitol building trying to stop the transfer of power. And then 4 years later that criminal gets elected to be president again".

Not just any guy, but Marilyn Manson, who used to play Paul on The Wonder Years. I'm not sure what was more shocking, learning about this, or learning of Mark Paul Gosselaar's fatal motorcycle crash. Taken from us far too soon.
