At least in 2003, more people knew where to use apostrophes in their sentences.
23 years after 2003…
I was on the verge of discovering Linkin Park and having my life change forever.
I gotta buy some Apple stocks
Thanks for reminding me I sold AAPL . . . in 2006.
And Buffy is in talks.
Are Metallica gonna release a godawful album with shit production quality?
Are Metallica gonna release a godawful album with shit production quality?
did they ever stop?
No they are going to sue someone.
You’d think they would have something to say about AI.
Napster BAD
…Are they involved in that big IP lawsuit against the ai companies?
And the new KOTH episodes fucking slap.
Except we invaded Iraq with years of preparation and a decade-long no-fly zone to chip away at them. We are going into this one with a pants around our ankles.
First time as tragedy, second time as farce
It’s gonna be another Iraq/Afghanistan because it’s meant to be. Oil, military industrial complex, oil, conservatives know and are ok with an oil invasion. I live in KY. Trump can do no wrong in the moron belt.
Iraq and Afghanistan were planned wars with lots of preparation and competent leadership. This is going to be something else entirely.
Whats my age again?
I can’t do this all on my own…
Jumanji was released 7 years ago. Both times!
Wow jeeze. Time really is cyclical. Let’s go forward until dinosaurs are back.
We’re working toward the series finale of Dinosaurs.
We are working on this. See global warming
Birds: yay wings saving us once again
we are likely to hit a new carboniferous period.
It’s going to suck for us, but rule for plants… and musically.
Hell yeah, another distortion and harsh sax enjoyer
How would you reboot MITM?
Is everyone old or you just recast everyone? Either way I can’t see it working. That or they use AI which would also be terrible.
“Almost 20 years after the end of the original series, Malcolm now lives a happy life with his daughter Leah and girlfriend Tristan, having distanced himself from his birth family. He is forced to bring them into the family’s chaos when his parents Hal and Lois demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.” source
and it is only a miniseries, 4 episodes long, more like a TV reunion special than a reboot
It’s only 4 episodes and includes the original cast members showing Malcom as an adult.
It’s a different Dewey, sadly. I think the original kid quit acting
2003? Ok, peeps, in about 13 years time there’s going to be an issue at a zoo. DO NOT LET ANYONE KILL HARAMBE!
We must not go on that timeline again!!!John titor please show yourself. We’re computer nerds too. Should you see this.
20 year retro rule strikes again.
RIP 90s retro, you didn’t even get to exist because of the fucking 80s overstaying their already tired ass dead eyed bullshit
the dream of the 90s is alive in portland
90s just never really left.
TV wise, providers still fight hard for Friends and Seinfeld. I still see teenagers slapping on Nirvana shirts. My clothes from back then still fit and are intact and a kid at my kids school asked me where I got my clothes because they wanted some just like them.
That’s all fine. Just as long as parachute pants don’t come back.
You know what time it is…
My clothes from back then still fit
#SubtleBrag
and are intact
#FormerNaturist?
Well, they didn’t fit for many years and then I lost a bunch of weight and could wear them again, so they just mostly survived a closet…
they didn’t fit for many years and then I lost a bunch of weight
I’m in the same boat!
I now regret throwing out my size L or XL Simpsons t-shirts from the 90s as I’m likely to be able to fit them again some time this year or next after having ballooned all the way up to 7XL or 8XL at my most humongous lol
OK, but no more than stuff from other decades. Are you really claiming that there have been waves of retro focused content to the same degree as 80s dance parties, 80s aesthetic revival games and music, etc for the 90s? Kool and the Gang’s “celebration” is in every animated film and advert, it doesn’t mean the 70s retro scene is a cultural tour de force that is going strong and infiltrating every cultural touchstone. (god fucking damnit, that song came out in 1980 IDFK, provide your own example of an overused 70s song)
I think in some respects, the ‘decade’ culture breaks had a run from 1910 to early 90s, and less so now.
Before radio and television, culture just didn’t change fast and far enough to really get that sort of clear delineation going.
Then with radio and television, cultural content spread instantly, but broadcast nature had relatively small number of people curating the media everyone got. So folks had a very common frame of reference. Broadly speaking each decade had pretty clear cultural features, but at any time the previous and current decades felt credibly ‘modern’.
In the late 2000s, while the 90s were still ‘current’, streaming basically started to break the ‘everyone gets the same stuff’ experience of broadcast media. So meme’s would crop up and provide some of it, but nowadays the bulk of online experience varies much more person to person minimizing that common frame of reference. So for example, Weird Al has stated that it’s much harder to identify good songs to do than back in the broadcast era, since things are more splintered now.
Or maybe it’s something about no one accepting the genx and millenials getting ‘old’. In the 80s, the 60s were the ‘oldies’, and the closest we’ve come since then is to dare to call the 70s ‘classic’.
I’d say the retro styled games tend to actually target the 90s, which was the peak of pixel art capability before people started doing the 3D stuff. They don’t usually target 90s 3D (because it sucked) though you do have examples like DUSK replicating that Quake I ascetic. Undertale could credibly be considered 80s looking, but most of the retro games would at least need Genesis or SNES to credibly look like they do.
80s was all about strong colors and synthetic music, but by the 90s culture had largely gotten over it and sure, you can recognize 90s hair at a glance still, but day to day clothes and music are, stylistically, persisting, at least insofar as specific styles are persisting among the mix of many many things.
If we’re doing 2000s nostalgia, I guess hip hugger bell bottoms and translucent plastic is gonna be trendy?
Judging by my teenager’s friends, it’s back
low rise pants or see through electronics?
Low rise pants and translucent plastic accessories
I think they are claiming there are no waves because it doesn’t need it, the 90s never really left
well nothing ever fucking left, it’s called object permanence. Stoners have put posters of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of The Moon” and pretentious assholes* have listened to Bach since they existed. “Retro waves” are when these things become more significant than their usual levels of cultural impact and human ritual.
*I include myself in this group, Bach kicks ass.
Do you know why Mozart killed all his chickens?
Because they all went “BACH BACH, BACH BACH!”
Thank you, I’ll be here all week!
baroque for life my brother, it never really left, now it lives on every progrock band and 80s videogame composer
