It's gone bad, throw it out!

They still make me cringe. But now it's classic cringe.

[zarkanian@sh.itjust.works]

Well, there's a random combo if I ever heard one.

[zarkanian@sh.itjust.works]

Oh, really? There's for sure some bad 90s music you've just forgotten about.

I'll be watching Todd in the Shadows and go, "Oh shit! I forgot about Spin Doctors! Damn, they were annoying."

[phoretwunny@lemmy.world]

Such a shame about the lyrics bc it's a great tune otherwise

[zarkanian@sh.itjust.works]

People are often poor judges about how they've changed, because it's difficult to be objective about yourself. I've had friends' personalities do a complete 180 and they'll tell me "I haven't changed at all, actually".

We listened to the music despite Axl being too high/drunk to actually play most of his concerts. One wouldn't have throught he could go downhill from there, but here we are.

[zarkanian@sh.itjust.works]

Which is crazy, because originally "alternative" just meant "underground", i.e. stuff that wasn't popular. Once it did become popular, though, then it solidified into its own genre

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

For me personally those two bring the most cringe value when I suddenly hear them again.

Voltaire is cool, but it just seems a little juvenile now.

[zarkanian@sh.itjust.works]

I think if Voltaire took himself seriously, then he would be cringe, but it's clear that he doesn't.

Some people don't think that humor belongs in music, and that's okay. But it's kind of like calling Weird Al cringe. It makes me think that you don't understand the artist.

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

Weird Al doesn't sing about undead teddy bears, vampires, and the beast of pirates bay. Weird Al sings about being fat, discount groceries, and being stuck in the drive through.

[francis_fujiwara@sh.itjust.works]

Kanye and MF Doom. Not related.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

Well now I have to go listen to Sex On Wheelz by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, damn it.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

My first album was a cassette dub of License to Ill my friend made in elementary school. My first purchase was Even Worse by Weird Al.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

My wife went to a Spin Doctors concert in the 90s and I still make fun of her about it. (Although I kind of like Two Princes.)

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

What's funny is I like 90s music a lot more than I did when I was in high school and trying to be too cool for it.

I can actually admit that Nirvana was an amazing band all these years later.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

So nothing. 80s ska is fucking awesome and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[flummoxed@lemmy.world]

That's the best first I've ever heard. My first tape was Cruisin' Classics, which was free with a tank of gas from Shell. Thanks mom!

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

My dad basically hated any music post about 1950 except for The Beatles (don't ask me why The Beatles), so I was a late bloomer to rock albums. I think I was 12 when the Weird Al album came out.

[whateley@lemm.ee]

Nah, I still fuck with Skinny Puppy and Bauhaus.

[zarkanian@sh.itjust.works]

I honestly don't know what point you're making here.

You don't think he's funny, and that makes you cringe? Okay.
