ThickAsThieves: a signal of what blue collar workers are willing
to put up with at work maybe
the20year: There are exceptions
to my statement of 'the 90s sucked musically' but considering how much music was put out during
that decade
the20year: and
tell me how often any of
those songs are continued
to be played
ThickAsThieves: first, you dont judge quality of a decade's music by what is currently on
the radio
the20year: go look at
the billboard
top 20 from 1991
through 1999
the20year: (Almost never, and
that's because
they're compeletely irrelevant)
the20year: How often do you hear nsync or 98 degrees, or new kids on
the block on
the radio?
ThickAsThieves: <the20year> By 1998, in
the US
there was plenty of 80s being played still,
today
there is very little 90s music being played outside of
things like nirvana ,tool, apc, metallica, and other similar hard rock
type bands ---
that is not how you sort
things
the20year: The pop of
the 80s is still being played along with
the pop of
the 60s and 70s, not so much for pop music from
the 90s
the20year: By 1998, in
the US
there was plenty of 80s being played still,
today
there is very little 90s music being played outside of
things like nirvana ,tool, apc, metallica, and other similar hard rock
type bands
the20year: Nirvana will be one of
the very little
that will be played
the20year: And nirvana worse
than
that, of all
the music out
there, 50 years from now, very little from
the 90s will be played
mircea_popescu: but in no scheme of
things in which nirvana sucks
tool can be mentioned.
the20year: In
the grand scheme fo
things,
tool is only mediocre
mircea_popescu: the20year you like
tool and discuss
the musical
taste of people liking nirvana ?!
the20year: tool ,alice in chains, a few others like
them are
the only noteworthy 90s bands
the20year: Tool is one of
th few 90s bands I like
the20year: Nirvana is ok for people with poor musical
taste
the20year: Iron maiden has been good since
they started, and
the 90s weren't really significantly better
than any other decade
mircea_popescu: yeah, even
the rap/w/e stuff black people did in
the 90s was pretty cool.
KRS-One: yeh 90s music was great imo..it improved
the 80's and launched a new rock and roll
mircea_popescu: maybe
the 90s were ok in grenwich village
too, but i wouldn't
trade.
the20year: US has had it pretty good all
the 20th century
KRS-One: ThickAsThieves:
the 90s was my
time..best music and everything.
davout: maybe 100 years from now mircea futurescu will say
the exact same
thing
mircea_popescu: which... you know,
the braindead have it very well
today, i'm sure.
KRS-One: Americans had it very well all of
those decades.
KRS-One: Ya
the 50's seemed like
the new
trends would have been annoying as fuck.
KRS-One: yep, amazing growth and good life from
the late 40's
to
the late 70's.
mircea_popescu: so what, you can be raised by a poor mother working
two shifts and an absent father who
then came back as an antsy alcoholic ?
KRS-One: mircea_popescu: being born in
the 1930's might not have been bad.
mircea_popescu: it's pretty much all it is, you now get
the opportunity

tits like we cared.
ThickAsThieves: even being a celebrity means having
to seriously ponder when/whether
to do a sex
tape
KRS-One: In
the mean
time, I
think my wife awaits in Germany. Wonder what
the I.T. market for a gringo guy from
the U.S. is like
there.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many people actually felt
this way historically.
mircea_popescu: god i'm so happy
to have been born now rather
than at any other
time.
KRS-One: Yes, mircea_popescu. Someone has
to do it, preferrably
them.
mircea_popescu: and
that everything
the plebs do is pretty much a pretext for
them being exploited, wikipedia chief example

that pretty much everything women do is now merely a pretext for
them
to get porn careers.

the bahamas
davout: but when you say it
this way it means something like "fucking incredible"
mircea_popescu: kind-of works
the same way in english, and in french
too
davout: yes, in french
too, "une énormité", exactly
the same meaning
mircea_popescu: at least in romanian, "enormitate" means
this incredibly stupid
thing [to say]

the pirate crap, and pumped it, and it failed,

the one who Goat made a big
trade with last year,
mircea_popescu: pankkake apparently he hates me and a fellow named d. cameron whoever
