GDT: Every 90's Music Video

[soothsayer]

Man she has a style I miss so much.

You can still see that haircut these days asking to speak to the manager.

 

[Mr Kot]

I think we should use this pregame thread.

That way we can continue the discussion of whether the 1990s was a distinct decade or not, while enjoying and bantering about the game.

Ok this is now gdt

@tardigrade81 you good to go tonight?

 

[Perfect_Drug]

I will say that maybe the issue we aren’t far enough removed from those decades for its distinction to come out. Or maybe I’m just being an old man yelling at clouds here, and I’m not appreciating the distinction that was there. I’ve always personally thought music took a nose dive in the late 90s going into 2000s, atleast mainstream music.

Here's a funny thought experiment:
"That 70's Show" Came out in 1998, and depicted 1976-1979.

So the equivalent time gap today would be"That 2000s show" starting in 2004.

What do you think that show would look like?



So the popular music depicting the top-40 of that era are old legacy acts like:
Beyonce, Lady Gaga, JayZ, Usher, Bruno Mars... oh wait a sec..

 

[RegDunlop]

Its a sample from Rolling Stones, which is why they never made a penny from it.

I find the story of how they took the 5 notes incredibly interesting.

Not gonna lie, I’m drawing a blank if I was trying to produce that show.

You may just be remember trends of that decade. I remember them too. Like baggy jeans I mean that was a thing, it was also a thing in the 90s and now back today. But is there one singular dinstinct look though? Or is it a mish mash of trends.

I think starting around late 90s, Mainstream music has become whatever the evolutions of rap and hip hop are and whatever pop star(s) they want to prop up for their 15 minutes of fame.

Gone are the days of talent being discovered and that musical style taking over an entire nation. Now pop stars are created, before they used to be discovered.

The music industry was always a closed system of song writers and performers. There have always been manufactured bands and a man in a suit telling people what to like, going back tot he 1950s. It’s not a development that happened in the 90s.

There was always that element. But a lot of those manufactured bands came off as phony and sell outs and were called out for that. So there was that, yes, but there were also legit bands that started together organically and were discovered to become big.

Nowadays it’s like everything is manufactured and that distinction no longer exists. And no one cares if you are fake or manufactured. No one cares if you are sell out, it’s just assumed that everyone is a sell out and that’s completely fine.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Literally everything you listed existed as a series of sub-cultures before 2000's and still exist in the 2020's.

You're just listing shit that doesn't pin it to any particular decade.

I used to work on a pretty popular video game called Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

You are literally describing the "Create-a-skater" feature we had in the game where I had to make Man-buns, plaid lumberjack shit, hair on women, Deep V-necks, smart-casual, customizable lip gloss, low-rise jeans, scoop hemmed shirts, and jeggings".

You're literally not describing anything unique that existed after the 90's.


Guidos and hipsters existed as a subculture in the 90s.

So you are you saying that 1970s, and 1980s and 1990s are 100% unique and not inspired by anything?

Because im pretty sure neon clothing existed in the 1950s.

One of the best selling acts of the 1960s was a manufactured band.

Singers also didn’t write their own music as commonly back then and song writers traded songs just like they do today.

I feel like you are conflating the greats of past eras and comparing them with an entire generation and dismissing the whole generation because not everyone is a led zeppelin. You can find exactly what you think the 60s, 70s and 80s had in today’s music.

I’m sure there will always be examples like that. There are alot of music acts out there over the time span we are talking about.

But there used to be a much higher frequency of bands coming out from the grass roots and being discovered, that hit it big in a way where it overtook a whole nation.

I think that died after grunge era. I can’t think of many examples after that.

It’s like the music companies thought, why deal with wildcards like Kurt Cobain when we can just invent stars out of thin air and have complete control over them. The boy band craze I think was the start of it. And yes they manufactured boy bands in the past too, but atleast you’d still have the grass roots bands that can come up and be the real deal in comparison to those manufactured acts.

After grunge, what else came out? Like yeh there’s still great music out there but nothing that could take over a nation.

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

One of my faves. Speaking of which, didnt someone do an oilers meme of us coming out the shit pipe after the DOD. Andy Dufresne with an Oilers logo on his face. Lol.

I’m not sure but sounds fitting. I agree one of my favourites as well, probably in my top 5.

 

[tardigrade81]

@tardigrade81 you good to go tonight?

Got my hockey g string on and ready to go my man!!!

 

[bone]

His wife is probably like "ohhh goooood..All of our Christmas pictures are going to look baddddd!" lol

She's a hockey wife, so I'm sure she won't think much of it.

Pretty much and it is much easier to be discovered now. Social media gives everybody a platform. Back in the day they had to make their tapes, go to labels, hope they took their tapes, etc.

Everything is manufactured now. I can't even fathom watching an awards show. Who picks all of the winners? It's all political. People up top are pushing whoever they want everywhere. Talent is not what it used to be.

Naw.

But what I mean it is the overarching narrative that depicts the 80's.

Maybe you're right. Maybe it was all due to a unified curated branding effort from all movie, music, and fashion industries who had a tighter control of the media.


But what would "That 2000's show" look like today if it depicted the look and sounds of 2004-2010?


Do TV shows from the middle of the Decade feel SO dated there is no possibility they could exist today?

Entourage was wildly popular from 2004-2011:
Does this fashion REALLY feel super dated and old and stand out like a sore thumb if it was shown today?

like if this show dropped today, you would immediately think: HOLY shit! That is so f***ing old, it looks like a whole other era: Like Happy Days, or the Brady Bunch.

Gossip Girl 2007-2012:

The OC 2003-2007:
Is this so wildly dated now you would never think it could possibly be 2010s or 2020s?

 

[Morpheus]

I caught an ETS bus to grade 7 in 1991.

I’d see chicks with their makeup and hair sprayed bangs, Motley Crue t-shirts and Levi’s, listening to hair metal on their yellow Sony walkmans…

I was like yes!!! Can’t wait till high school!!

I get to grade 10 and grunge is in full force so all I see are baggy jeans, checkered flannel shirts, no makeup and toques…and I was one of the few metal die hards left…

 

[foshizzle]

Interesting lines.

I was curious if they would try Janmark as the 4C. No reason why he can’t succeed in that role. Hes smart and skates well. We will see.

I think Ryans time is up. Philp should be pushing him out anyway

RNH should be the third line centre and Henrique the 4th line centre

Notes on Arvie’s injury:

Played through it for 2 and half weeks, then had to sit. Otherwise feels it could have got worse.

Feels it’s completely behind him now and he’s 100%

This injury was different from ones he dealt with in the past. So good to hear it’s not a nagging issue we have to worry about.

Lol. The rock was so lame when he first started…

Can someone please message me with a stream for the game. Apparently paying for sportsnet and tsn and centre ice isn't enough. SN1 can go f themselves

Janny?

You talking about Janmark or Arvidsson?

RNH should be the third line centre and Henrique the 4th line centre

The way that they both have played this year, you’re not wrong.

I’d like to see them do it lol but they won’t
