      Been a small time B52s fan since I heard Rock Lobster on the radio way back in the day. Loved the band thru the 90s in my college days with their newer stuff. Also REM and hits like this. And finally only a year or 2 ago saw B52s live on their final tour.

      To bookend that time period with those two events just hit me so hard. Your comment made me put that time period in that context and it brought tears to my eyes. I turned 13 in 1990, picked up a guitar for the first time 2 years later, played in a band, graduated high school in 1995. What a great time to be that age. It seemed like anything was possible. Just never saw it in the context of those 2 events that way. Sounds silly but, sincerely, thank you.

      Couldn't agree more. 90s had some great pop music in all genres. Rock and hip hop. Techno for ravers. I listened to a lot of 60s and 70s music back then growing up, as well as 90s.
      Now i dont really listen to modern pop that much. Some songs are good, but they're few and far between. Jonas brothers and bieber and drake would have been laughed at 30 years ago, like new kids on the block. Taylor swift???? Unimaginable
      Things went in a whole bubblegum direction with britney puff daddy backstreet in 99 2000
      Whatever happened to the post cold war "peace dividend" we were supposed to get?
      The military Industrial complex must always be fed, I guess. I feel like we've been on the wrong timeline since 2001, like back to the future 2

    • @Homelandz
      @Homelandz 2 года назад +12

      @@stevencoardvenice I don't want to get too political because the point is how awesome pop culture was back then, and also how we had a peaceful world and prosperity that didn't automatically go to the top 1%, for many reasons, well beyond America's domestic politics. And also how cool technology was back then; I still remember transitioning from MS-DOS to Windows and man, let me tell you, even if you were only interested in playing games, dealing with with command prompt based OS's was testing, challenging, a journey and you learn something useful, while right now I'm afraid to expose my kids to technology and depression inducing social networks.
      BUT I still wonder sometimes how the world would look like if we had a president Gore. If there are two timelines like you said, they split in Florida in November, 2000.
      Well, actually, NO, because Gore won that fair and square. It was an ill-fated SCOTUS decision in 2001.
      We weren't aware how fragile our world was.

    Kate's voice is fantastic. And for those of u that do not know the background of this song; REM wrote it as a FU to the critics who kept on saying they always wrote gloomy depressing songs so they deliberately wrote an over the top happy song as a joke. Ironically it became one of their biggest hits.
