I was in Germany a little while ago and they had like six different paprika flavors of Pringles. The dude working the shop looked at me like I was a freak for being so excited about it.

It was only gone for 4 years but mcdongles is switching back to hi-c from fanta for their orange soda. e. It wasn't fanta. Some kind of orange sprite, but it was not very good.

This Is the Zodiac posted:but then the concept of "music videos with lots of words" made me remember this: I remmeber when that video came out, MuchMusic acted like it was the second coming or something. I know they will hype up what they're paid to hype up, but surrounding this was crazy. Also I think Gen X wasn't allowed to fix anything.

I can confirm that the "Pringles with bellpepper/paprika" are in fact a superior form of Pringles.

If you're Australian, of a certain age, and want to mainline some nostalgia Heartbreak High is on Netflix now. I'm pretty sure it was loosely based on this book even though Wikipedia says it was based on the movie The Heartbreak Kid.

Well, Wandavision completely skipped over the 90s and went straight for a Malcolm in the Middle pastiche. They did a great job with filming/editing but the song kind of blows. I would still qualify it as very 90s because 90s culture didn't truly die until 9/11 in the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxt3QFyZtNw Complete with a really "what the gently caress was that?"

It was orange and tangerine flavored. No pineapple. When they abandoned the Ecto Cooler name in the early 2000's, it was changed to Shoutin' Orange Tangerine, and then Crazy Citrus Cooler. I grew up on that poo poo and still have an unopened case in my basement from when they rereleased it for the Ghostbusters remake in 2016.

If the 90s didn't "end" until 9/11, does something made after 1/1/00 still count as 90s or is it 00s, even though, like we say they didn't "end" until..

It's well known that culturally the first year or two of a new decade is usually funky. 1980, 1990, and 2000 were all still very much rooted in the prior decade's trends and took a year or two before what came to define the decade really solidified. In many ways they all exist as part of their own cultural microcosm, but for use here I think it's fair to say that US culture circa early 2000 can be said to be appropriately 90s enough.

Culturally, I don't think the '90s really started in earnest until around 1992. The first year or two of every decade is carryover from the previous one. ^ Beaten by mind the walrus

The 90s are the only decade with an umabiguous end date: Sept. 11th, 2001. You can be fudgy about when "the 80s" really ended, but the 90s-00s transition feels sharp as a knife.

The 90s ended on September 9, 1999, the day the Sega Dreamcast was launched. To me that was some 2000s future poo poo right there and that's what I'm going with and there is nothing any of you can do about it.

Malcolm in the Middle instantly felt like one of those shows that has been around forever, so i just filed it away as a 90's show.

9/11 might be the sharp end date of the 90s, but the decade was definitely on its way out when the dotcom bubble burst.

I’d even say after Y2K. I don’t think the Matrix really feels ‘of the 90s’, it exists in its own bubble era between 1999 and 9/11. Or maybe it’s when Dubya became President, but that might just be because I don’t really have much memory of the Bush Sr. years. I turned 10 at the end of 1999 and went from elementary to middle school in 2000, so 2000 feels like a big transitional moment for me personally, maybe if not for everybody else or older ppl.

The end of the decade is usually pretty distinct from the beginning as well. You can easily define late 90's compared to early 90's, late 00's to early 00's. But, what about the 2010's? Was 2019 really all that distinct from 2011? I suppose, politically.

It was a marked shift in just about every way.

There was the Obama years and the Trump years, and even if the fortunes for lots of people didn’t really materially change for the better or worse (at least until COVID) the mood and psychic tenor of the country was completely different during those two periods

Yeah, but what I'm saying is, while the late 90's were aesthetically different from the early 90's, as was the music, art, entertainment, etc. Can the same be said for late 2010's vs early 2010's? I feel like its exactly the same, we just have nicer smartphones. Ok Comboomer posted:in the United States it was. Absolutely.

Portlandia could not be conceived post-Trump A lot of it seems like a time capsule mercifully preserved from a more innocent time but a lot of it also comes of as weirdly misplaced and mean-spirited in hindsight, or taking the wrong lessons from its era and environment. Like so much media in the first half of the 2010s was like arrogantly comfortable in the perceived cultural gains of the Obama years and looking for every opportunity to apologize for the excesses of the lefter, more progressive fringe. People (especially those in power) refusing to call the Tea Party the fascist, revanchist movement that it was, etc.

I remember being in French class and the teacher would ask us questions in french about poo poo that we liked, sports teams, musicians etc... So I distinctly recall her asking (excuse my lovely french that doesn't make any sense) "quesque ce le MC HAMMER make le bon musique"? And this one kid was all like "MC HAMMER SUCKS!!! VANILLA ICE IS THE BEST" That was the first time I'd heard of Vanilla Ice. In my (probably) 6th grade french class. A week or so before the same guy was all like "oui madame, MC Hammer c'est tres bien".

Ok Comboomer posted:Portlandia could not be conceived post-Trump In the same vein, music artists and the like that spent 2000-2008 raging against Bush only turned it down a little bit for Obama. Which, yes no one wants to listen to "Obama is great!" music and no president/era should be void of criticism, but there was definitely an air of "we'll have our Bush-type bumps but things will always divert back to the Obama-like status quo, so it's okay". We were woefully unprepared for how bad it could get.

I feel like the 90s died at different points in different areas. Like in terms of film, the 90s died in 1999 with the Matrix. In terms of aesthetics, they died in October 2001 with the release of the iPod and the replacement of the 90s aesthetic of loud excess with sleek and subtle minimalism. Socially and politically the 90s died unequivocally on September 11, 2001, yeah, but in terms of other aspects of culture and cultural sensibilities, some parts died before, others after. EDIT: The iPod also meaning the death of the walkman and heralding the gradual death of physical, as well.

I dunno while obviously its not a perfectly clear cut I think youre underestimating how much 9/11 changed culture in such a radical way (largely as a result of politics) that happened so quickly it was observable in real time. Tv shows and movies shifted very fast.

I don't think Portlandia is mean-spirited at all. It certainly makes fun of a lot of stereo-typically left-wing people, ideas, and things, but it usually is done kind of lovingly, and is never vicious. silence_kit has a new favorite as of 03:40 on Feb 14, 2021 |
