It’s because they usually suck so it takes a little longer to convince the idiots across America that they should listen to it on repeat. There. Question answered.
The combo of Riley from Power Trip, JTE, and Boseman this week has got me fucked up.
Hopefully soon to be remembered as three icons of the 2010's, in my genuine opinion.
Literally zero buzz besides BS articles like these on a small handful of music website. who are you fooling?
but LOL yeah High Fidelity on Hulu is the only show on streaming that is "bingeable" and has "name recognition"....
This was the woke, diverse reboot so it needs to be "truly shocking" and "unjust" if cancelled so it falls in line with the appropriate Internet narrative.
can't stop giggling at the thought of van singing in that class Van style like
"i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-yiyiyiyiyi d0o0o0o0n't belieeeeeve in coroo0ona"
my man van truly got on his Crazy Face
I can safely say, as a millennial who listened to this and Nothings Shocking for the first time a year or so ago, this shit absolutely holds up. It's some of the most original, hard-rocking alternative music of the 90's. Nevermind and BloodSugarSexMagik were the 90's ones that blew my teenage head off but I can't imagine this kind of stuff coming out WHEN I was a teen and just melting my face.
That last paragraph really rings true though. As much as Nevermind is one of the best albums ever, as the influence of great art always does it seems, it came at a cost. Combining the popularity of that with the titanic Ten made grunge sweep the weird of the early 90's out of alternative. It luckily didn't eradicate it but it certainly took over the ship until Cobain's death at the very least. Even then mainstream rock was still aping the vanilla grunge vibe for two decades after. The popularity of RHCP around the same time helped keep more weird stuff in the discourse at least (and damn I'm sorry for BloodSugarSexMagik still slaps) but damn grunge really KO'd it. I wish rock were still this weird. I miss the weird 90's.
But regardless, I can't imagine hearing this as a teenager and not absolutely headbanging like Beavis and jumping out my seat.
Shit...I did when I was 25...
Can I just say I love Kirsten Dunst? I mean besides being a great actress. (You all need to watch Fargo Season 2 if you haven't)
... but also that Spider-Man 2002 kiss scene is legendary for pre-teens and teens of my generation for a multitude of reasons. She's like Phoebe Cates in Fast Times for millennial dorks.
If there's someone accused of rape in my small town, I will gladly join the angry mob in burning his house down.
But I'm not going to deny the existence of the mob like a brainwashing psychopath.
