What do you miss most of the late 90's-Early 00's.?

[redzero]

, edit my quote so it says Napalm Brain.

[leemajors]

what's shadow been up to lately? I read something about a new album in the works, but with him who knows. I still remember being in NYC and seeing his show at the Bowery Ballroom in 2002, best concert I've ever been to still. He played right up to the midnight release of Private Press, then we all got a copy and he signed them for everyone.

The 4 track era albums were pretty good, but that was all really old stuff. Hopefully he quit trying to be a hyphy DJ. Hopefully the new one he is working on does really sound different than the last.

[leemajors]

Why name yourself after something on Private Press when Endtroducing is way better?

Changeling or Napalm Bomb are much better names.

Even though it's just a collection of singles, Preemptive Strike is better than both of those tbh, but I like the extended overhaul of Organ Donor a lot.

I miss my TV shows. The Sopranos and The West Wing were the last two shows that were an experience for me. I wouldn't miss an episode and even found myself watching them over and over. And we had some shows that I enjoyed but weren't an experience: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Law and Order, Everwood, Friends to name a few. There's not a television show on today that I will watch religiously.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

It's still available

Ketamine then?

[ALVAREZ6]

Mainstream radio has always sucked tbh. Pick a decade and look at the top 40. Mostly ty.

No doubt.

Don't pick little pieces of posts, you're getting the wrong idea. I never said it was ever any good, simply that it is flat out atrocious right now. And only 1.5 genres covered, 6 songs on repeat, period. That is all, I'm done talking about mainstream radio

[ALVAREZ6]

I actually hate the large majority of rap

As do I, however I do like a good amount.

but you're the 18 year old got who knows everything. And apparently that means thinking nu metal isn't total ing

more age hate, gotta love it, you mad that I'm young or something bro? You bring it up every single post against me, it's an echo by now.

"nu metal" is a pretty broad genre...and I don't like most of it. lol limp bizkit

You love slightly twisting literally everything I post bag, when did I say I like nu metal?? Umm....never.

I did however mention the RHCP, a very small part of my point, in the context that I can take some of their songs, specifically earlier . You take that, a band that's barely nu metal, and somehow I love the genre.


Keep it up bag

I wish I knew wtf eddie def and DJ Disk are up to as well. The 90s were a very good time for the return of the dj, albeit deep underground. DJ Quest was the last person out of the Piklz/Travlerz/Shadow Bay Area DJ scene to put out an album, and that was 2008

I graduated from college during the summer, and applied to med school. I got several interviews, namely from two schools I really targeted (which is so far my biggest accomplishment). Currently, I am working in a lab, doing research on polymer chemistry to pad up my resume. Basically, I've accomplished A LOT of my personal goals, with still the one of becoming a physician for me to pursue. imo, the entire primacy of life is a damn cliche...which makes life itself boring, which is depressing all in itself.

Sounds like you have some pretty ty goals, if you're not excited to meet them.

Have you thought about trying to get laid lately?

[LnGrrrR]

Seriously, the thing I miss about the late 90's is being home with my family, chilling with my little brother playing video games or something along those lines.

I left for basic training in '99, and have maybe gotten to see my family a total of 3 to 4 months in the eleven years I've been gone.

[desflood]

You must be Mexican.

No, just married one.

Not to me it isn't.

[Tinystarz]

Old people are never gonna like the new stuff. That goes for every generation.

[200 miles]

I grew up during this era. For one, I feel sorry for kids nowadays growing up with the that comes out on television, the ty music they hear, and the "oh this is just xmas and new years again" cliche feeling. I come to think of it, nowadays, life just ing sucks. Along with the inevitable fact that life becomes boring as you get older (due to gain of knowledge and experiencing things you always wanted to experience), life sucks right now. I'm bored. IDK, any constructive and appropriate non-trollish thoughts out there ?

One thing I did find amusing:

May 1999: I saw all of the Star Wars geeks being ultra-pumped to watch The Phantom Menace when they poured into the theater. After the movie ended, I saw some of those same geeks look very disappointed.

Sex ain't the issue.

And to answer other posters, no I ain't hitting the wall, just a boring/conservative time in my life.

Hopefully this year will get better, the movies coming out later this year are something to look forward to, as well as the Spurs beasting in the playoffs.

So, let's just get this straight:

Achieving lifegoals = boring

New movie = Exciting

Gotcha.

You claim you're active and doing things, but yet are bored. As an aspiring doctor, it should be readily apparent to you that you are suffering from depression.

Or, it could be that you really aren't living, just doing things. When I was 22, I was already winding down in my partying. But I had been smoking, and going out and doing my own things since I was 14.

Still, at 22 I was taking off when I wanted to wherever I wanted to go. I would do simple things like drive to Austin from Krispy Kreme because everyone said the donuts were the and were waiting in line for 2 hours to get some, or about the same amount of time it would take to drive to Austin in back.

I was seeing every band that played a club in San Antonio and Austin, sometimes one city one night and the other the next. I would drive to Corpus for the day, not to do anything, but just because I could.

Even though you've accomplished your goals, it seems like you were too focused on the destination that you didn't enjoy the journey to get there. Going to Austin or Corpus, or Bandera at 2 am wasn't about going to those places (Bandera is nice, but what's so exciting about it really?), it was about just doing something on a whim because I could, and enjoying the freedom associated with it.

Again, having goals is nice, but if you just focus solely on completing the journey instead of the journey, in the end, you're feel bored and unfulfilled.

I set the bar really low for myself at a young age so my life goals were reached when I was 13. Everything after that is a bonus.

Aim low is what I say, you CAN reach your goals!

Those things sound a little out of scope for me, but it's something that I should try, just for the heck of it.


Thanks for the ideas

You haven't done those already? You're a weird 22 year old.

If you don't have at least 3 drinking stories by now (and if you don't drink, you should at least be hanging out with other friends who do), then you need to reevaluate your life.

Funny thing for me, I started smoking weed when I was 14, but stopped when I turned 18 (on a consistent level) because I had to get a job. I didn't start drinking until I turned 21, and only because I found vodka.

I don't have exciting drinking stories, and have only been hungover twice in my entire life (I don't have a high tolerance for alcohol these days, but I always could hold my liquor), but I have tons of memories of just being good and drunk and having fun. And I was NEVER bored.

[Jacob1983]

Buffy, Angel, and a lot of the shows on the WB. I know a lot of them were cheesy but that's what made them good in my opinion. I miss the surplus in America that we had back in the late 1990s and early 2000. I also miss cheaper prices on basically everything too. And the thing I probably miss the most from that time period is probably just the whole atmosphere of the world and America. Things were so much better back then.

[sickdsm]

I don't know years in particular but I graduated HS in '98. Maybe we were losers but we really didn't listen to much new music after '96. Guess once i fell for the early to mid ninety's alt/punk i never cared much to stay too current. Anyone that names Oasis as good music has still yet to discover the Beatles. Linkin/stand is like a bunch of pothead 7th graders got together and never matured.


By far the 60's then I'll go straight to the early to mid nineties. I'll put the 50's above the 70's and 80's. How can anyone who didn't love punk or disco say the 70's were good? The 80's were all about ty techno-synthesizer crap or over the top hair metal boringness.

A good song is timeless whenever it would be released. "Revoltion" rocks harder than most modern songs on the radio today.


The "singer-songwriter" artist is dead.

[sickdsm]

I liked Seinfeld too but watch the reruns as if you've never seen them before, I know, hard to do. Its not funny at all. Heck, Growing Pains, Full House, and Family Matters were hits too but there also not funny.


Try watching Tosh.0 or Family Guy to see how lame some of those older shows are. I just think the sitcom is mostly dead also.
