And I've never seen any of it in child support. I'm disappointed in you, Dad. [If this makes no sense to you, its a reference to what's a very old joke now, from Oldguild.]

I am actually having a hard time believing that you assumed I could forget that.

I can't look at your Thrawn avatar without this song playing on repeat in my head.



I am so sorry.

I didn't think you would have.
But the disclaimer did no harm. It's been quite a while, after all.

I was deeply unsure whether to click "play" once I saw "I am so sorry". I was right to be afraid.

Welcome to Much Music, certa mid-90s. It shared notable screen time with other big names like the Spice Girls, Ricky Martin, the Bloodhound Gang, and Aqua.

There's probably a reason that most of those names mean nothing at all to anyone who grew up in the 2000s.

This was an entire genre? The 90s were... an odd time. To be fair, I do know about half those names. Then again, my taste in music isn't considered stellar by a lot of people, so I can't criticise.

Smash Mouth.

Papa Roach.

...You're my hero.

My first CD was Chumbawumba's Tubthumping. Just because I liked that one song.

If by genre, you mean pop, then yes, yes indeed.

Whenever people complain about (_)'s decade of music being total shit need to remember that there's always great music being made, and what's popular now doesn't mean what's going to stand the test of time. I hear a lot of songs I grew up with on the radio now that were absolutely fantastic that I think will be played and enjoyed for decades because they're fantastic.

People from my parent's generation with all the 60s and 70s rock always say that our music sucks now adays, but they have classic rock radio stations to point to that showcases all of the best of what they grew up with. I'm sure if we went back in time and turned on the radio then we'd be completely baffled at how anyone liked most of that shit. I kind of want to give my parents a flash drive with a bunch of the best songs from my library to listen to, just to show them 'Hey, look, awesome music happens these days, too.'

I feel like I should remember Much Music but I'm coming up empty on that name.

It was kind of like Canadian MTV, only it was, at one point, less trashy.

I've heard that's since changed.

Okay, I'll clarify the question: the whole genre of pop was like that? And I'll also clarify that this is rhetorical. xD

And hey, I'm of the same view. I love music of all times and all genres - enough for it to be actively pointed out by several people. I feel that a lot of music is time-dependent, brilliant in its period but lacking in relevance and connection to an audience from another time, but strongly believe that there is also just timeless, great music. But I feel like we've actually had this conversation in the past at some point, or something? I dunno.
