Yep my mom bought that for Christmas for me when I was like 7 or 8. I often think about that wallet. It’s stuck in my mind for some reason. Haven’t seen an actual picture of it since then. Thanks for unlocking a core memory.

Was this music video anyone else’s sexual awakening?

I mean look at the song Jessie’s Girl. With friends like that you don’t need enemies. For some reason being a home wrecker was celebrated.

I think soundscan after 1991 actually counted sales at the register. At least from what I remember. I haven’t worked at a record store in more than 20 years. But you might be right 🤷‍♂️

You just instantly brought me back to 95/96. I miss those times. Also Sixteen Stone is still an amazing album.

Yea i thought she was great as Mina, I had read the book and thought she was pretty close to what was described so it was good casting. I think boomers just hated anything Gen X did and wanted to criticize it.

Holy crap I never realized those movies all released so close together, no wonder our generation was so cynical. I know I was way more cynical about that working world at 17 than I was supposed to be, it’s why I didn’t keep my first job (bad attitude).

That’s funny I just put that track on a playlist for the girl I’m dating… I usually don’t revisit the music from that period of my life partially cause I’m depressed my clubbing days are over unless I want to be the sad sack with a midlife crisis lol.

Britney truly deserves the best things in life. She’s made so many of us happy as an entertainer through the years and she’s a good soul. And yes the mental health struggles have been hard but we as a generation have come really far.

Bundy the No Man and Kinison the perfect pair.

I always get the sense that as a generation our being so forcefully taught that having kids would ruin our lives, and that anyone ever getting pregnant at any time was a disaster that needed to be avoided at all costs led to a lot us becoming phobic about having kids, and never having any.

Or having kids in the wrong way, like I wouldn’t have my 10 year old daughter if we were planning it. Still think my mom would probably have an aneurysm were she alive. But yea I was always super conscious of making sure my child was brought into a ‘good world’ unfortunately I’ve given up on that naive notion.

I thought it was good. Obviously they can’t match the original broadcasts but it was a good bit of nostalgia. My only complaint was that the matches were very quick in match time and kinda predictable.

NKOTB is more Xennial. I was already into heavy rock and going to concerts by the time any of that stuff came around, and I’m an 82 baby. I hated all the boy bands from the Backstreet Boys wave, but liked New Kids because I was like what 4 when their very first album came out and 8 by the time they released Step By Step.
