It never bothered me that Milli Vanilli got caught

The Grammy was a big part of it, because they had to return it so it was seen as a bigger disgrace or whatever. And I think that era in general was rife with scandals, hated musicians, and quick falls from grace in pop - in a period of less than two years there was the Sinead OConnor incident, Terence Trent Darby saying he was more important than the Beatles, Vanilla Ice lying about his background, Hammer’s rise and fall, NKOTB, Axl Rose constantly making headlines on tour, the rise of a golden age of adult contemporary, MJ reaching a point where he wasn’t merely a little bit weird… and at the same time there was a rise in more artistically-respected music in alternative rock and hip hop and heavy metal, which the pop was negatively compared with, so Milli Vanilli got a lot of attention because they were pointed to as a clear example of how flashy and superficial pop supposedly was. But also i remember there was some conflict and Frank Farian got mad and had a press conference why went public with the fact that they weren’t the actual singers, and I don’t think anything like that happened with Boney M
