Given the remix album isnt great, Fear Factory is usually pretty solid. Its like they wanted to do industrial rock without really comitting.

That may be the most 90s thing. Like playing 3 different songs I was into at the same time in 1998.

I forgot these existed and I think I really liked them.

I also miss 3D Doritos, which were like Bugles but puffier and crispier and with better flavors.

I have a a soft spot for that soundtrack because it was the only album The Cure's Burn was released on until a 2004 compilation, and I really like the song.

The soundtrack is really good.

Of course, I may be biased, since I was fifteen when it came out, aka the target market for both the movie and the soundtrack

these two songs were also really good

I was 13, and :yeah:

Man, I have really fond memories of the local alternative station that summer and the next. It was pretty much the perfect confluence of the record companies throwing everything they could at recapturing the unexpected success of Nirvana.

I was thinking how its weird the Cure song I hear the most is Friday I'm In Love. I guess it was their last major hit? It's just weird because like Just Like Heaven is a superior song but its just as poppy and happy as the other.

One thing I remember very distinctly about early internet useage was you'd mention you liked something from the Crow soundtrack or you saw a KMFDM video and mention it online and some gate keeping rear end in a top hat would burst though the wall and say "those band suuuuuck, they're for people who don't understand music, you need to listen to *obscure band that only has 8tracks they sell on the midwestern tours*". I mean you still get that now, but with the smaller number of people online, they seemed like they were more powerful than they were. Mostly because they were probably 30 hanging out in a chatroom populated by teenagers.

Music chat reminds me of a very 90s phenomenon: getting exposed to new bands and genres from a cut-down video clip on Beavis and Butt-head that Viacom absolutely would never have aired in any other context. The list of music aired on that show is pretty eclectic.

Admittedly, some of it was obscure for a good reason, but... yeah, that show was the first place I heard a lot of these bands (e.g. "Caterpillar" by The Cure) and, pre-internet, music discovery outside of direct exposure by friends or media was very much a sort of one-thing-leads-to-another excavation process.

This is true. And speaking of early internet and music snobs - I guess I was lucky not to really run into too many of those; people were just real passionate about talking about music before mp3s (and relatively easy ways to create and pass them around) exploded. I fondly remember a document I accessed on the late 90s web somewhere, some extremely carefully curated thing that attempted to source as many samples in songs (mostly techno/industrial) as possible, like some four-word sample in the middle of a Thrill Kill Kult song that maybe 30 people cared about would be correctly attributed to an early 60s piece of trash cinema that wasn't available at Blockbuster or Hollywood.

"Bernard, float over here so I can punch you."


I remember chain e-mails being much more ubiquitous during the 90s than they are now. I mean, I'm sure boomers see a lot more of them than I do, but as a teen I feel like there were a lot more floating around then.

I remember one mean-girl chain I saw on newsgroups at some point in 1997. It listed common boys names and their general sexual prowess; my name was said to have a small pee pee and was noted as bad at fuckin'.
