Very much white suburban anger, the least justified anger.

DrBouvenstein posted:There was a Simple Plan song called "Perfect" that was 100% pure, "Love me Daddy"" This is probably gonna sound odd but as a teenager I gave up on liking Staind (lol) when they released a single with the line "I can't blame this on my father; he did the best he could for meee" and I was like "but you blame everything on your dad on this other hit single!". The cognitive dissonance in my heros lyrics just straight turned me off them.

That line stood the hell out for me, and while I never got into Staind, I did appreciate the unintentional comedy. Oddly, my sister, who pointed that line out to me for some reason I can’t remember, fell for it.

Man, remember Audiosurf? I adored that game for a couple months in highschool. Apparently they released a sequel in '15? (Random thought because I listen to instrumental covers at night, and imagining an Audiosurf track is a nice way to distract myself to sleep )

I went back and listened to the Linkin Park album Hybrid Theory. I still remember most of the songs. Another big album I still remember from around that time was SOAD Toxicity. I don't listen to these often so they have retained their nostalgia unlike a lot of 90s music that is overplayed

LAN parties. Bring your heavyass tower computer, spend three hours on setup getting everything to work, play Counterstrike for twenty-five minutes and spend the rest of the time watching anime and Newgrounds videos.

I don't know why, but for some reason my college was very trusting of students in the early 2000's. We would routinely be able to go into some classrooms late at night, like past 10 or so, and just hook up our laptops to watch a movie on the projector and sit in "nice" chairs (not that nice, generic office chairs, but better than huddled around a tiny 12" TV on a dorm floor.)

I think we had it easy because the techs felt it was easier to trust the students than get in their faces. Plus the knowlage that if someone did gently caress up, it would ruin it for everyone and everyone would know who did it.

Was the 90s for me, but basically the same. Labs were open 24/7, lab techs were mostly students with part-time jobs Unless you were actively damaging stuff, being noisy, or hogging hardware that someone needed for actual coursework they would have no fucks to give (they were probably spending most of the time in there playing games themselves.)

Although seeing a 4'11" boomer with a blonde bob singing along to Green Day never really lost its humor.

Yea, the tech would often join in when we played games. There was a smaller lab with about 8 machines that was the perfect game room. We'd go in and set up the game and people would drop in and join in.

I noticed a lot of people complaining some obscure punk band didn't get mentioned in there, but the whole thesis is that the Bush Era didn't give us the huge mainstream antiwar musical boom that the 60s had. So looking at some band that never toured outside of the Bay Area would be outside of the scope. But it does point out how amazingly pro war a huge number of Americans were and how there were tons of Pro War media. That is funny that your mom got into it when it became a musical.

Summer of 2001 was a weird time to move to the US from Russia, especially as a lanky nearly-teenager. My family touched down at the O'Hare airport in Chicago in early June 2001. Most of my family - my father, the visa holder, had gone on ahead to set up a place to live, transportation, and just generally start his job. We were now following him with what little we could fit of our belongings into a bunch of heavy cargo bags. One of the songs on the airplane radio was the Da Mutz WAZZZUUP dance remix. A young black woman smiled brightly and welcomed me to the United States. It was dark by the time my father picked us up in a rental Passat hatchback. I was barely awake by this point, so I just remember seeing lit-up billboards and road signs passing by. We all went to bed without unpacking. Almost immediately, the exploration began. We went to a buffet. A thrift store. A Sam's Club. I tried sushi (and wasabi) for the first time. Peanut butter. Marshmallows. Cheesecake. I had seen some of these things in Western movies, of course, but tasting them for the first time was a hell of an experience. Our suburb town had many parks, and we'd occasionally meet up with other Russians and do some grilling. We went to see Shrek and Atlantis at a tiny budget movie theater in a strip mall the town over. We'd come back to that theater many times for pretty much every major movie. Our television at home was a tiny CRT with just the 6 local channels. We'd watch PBS Kids until the boring adult stuff came on, then we'd switch to Fox. Our parents would often bring home movies on hastily-scribbled CD-Rs and we'd watch them on my father's computer, the only one with a sound card. We'd occasionally get taken to a public library, where I discovered the true extent of the Animorphs book series (I only had up to 4 back in Russia). I also discovered broadband Internet, joined AOL Instant Messenger, and coined this username. I was a big fan of those little keychain laser pointers, you see. We celebrated Independence Day by watching the eponymous movie, and later going out to a hill to watch all the little West Chicago townships light off their shows, one after the other. We visited Chicago proper, went up to sight-see at the Hancock Center. We also went splashing around in one of the fountains and had our first Subway sandwiches. Through the summer, whenever there weren't family plans, my parents' directive amounted to "It's 11 AM, there's the door, be back before dark." Take a 12 year old kid, his very bossy 10 year old sister, and put them in charge of a 7-year old boy who doesn't speak English yet. Put them in a place they've never been before and tell them to go hog wild for 8-9 hours, and watch the fireworks. We wandered around and found playgrounds. We met other kids and played. We collected golf balls like treasures. We found a gigantic curbside pile of 80's toys and 3-2-1-Contact magazines, and almost as much Lego as we'd brought with us. Occasionally we'd make our way to a store or another, and could spend hours wandering the aisles, trying out every Try Me function possible. We'd fight over who got to play with demo consoles. We were those kids. The terrible little goblins, snarling at each other in our own rough tongue. I started 8th grade. My English was passable enough to explain myself most of the time, but I spoke the British way, that's how they taught it back home. The accent never fully went away until Freshman year of high school. I had a bowl cut and wore hideous Chinese knock-off t-shirts my family bought in bulk from a Moscow bazaar a year back over jeans and sneakers of similar quality. I had ESL instead of a regular English class, but took all other classes alongside the other students, with the ESL teacher on standby at all times - any teacher could page her and she'd help a student if he was struggling to understand. Wherever Ms. Diaz is these days, I hope she's doing good. She later taught my mother at an adult ESL program, too. An absolute hero of a woman. Early on in the school year, I sat in my science class. They were wheeling in the gigantic CRT, ratchet-strapped to a media cart. I was excited - more Bill Nye! The TV came on but what it showed wasn't Bill Nye. We all watched the Twin Towers burn and fall. A couple of kids sobbed. Nobody stopped them. I don't think a single one of us realized how much things would change that day. Elsewhere, a goon typed his legendary sentence. Could go on for days and days, but man, what a weird decade to go from 11 to 21 in. Lazermaniac has a new favorite as of 20:28 on Jun 29, 2020 |
