Recently finding it annoying that a lot of teenagers now think that living in the 1980s was a cool thing and like being like the characters from Pretty and Pink and the Breakfast club was what normal teens were like. Or that the late 90s teens had it way easier than they have it now. All I keep thinking is, wow since when did the 80s/ 90s become hip again? Outside of, you know, the animation aspect.

[QUOTE=Zetsubou;3657102]I still can't believe that the U.S. Government is not even trying to enlist Mutants into the military and CIA clandestine black ops, instead of persecuting and hunting them.
People with super powers are used as special operatives by governments for espionage or fighting crime in anime like [I]Darker Than Black[/I] or [I]Zettai Karen Children [/I][/QUOTE]
Not surprising as long as people can find a way to call them undesirable. Look at US services and African Americans in WW1 and 2, even after examples like the 10th Cavalry Regiment

Not sure, but I've seen a lot of tube socks and denim lately and its unnerving

What was wrong with the '90s?!

Tom Green wrote a song about his ass and it topped the charts in the 90s.

A lot of really great bands topped the charts and changed the entire face of music in the '90s, too.

Yeah, and snapps bracelets, hair scrunchies, grung in general. I actually found some girls shirts (I'm talking like 13 to 10) that had New Kids on the block, Nirvana, and Beasty Boys on the front. Recently saw a huge come back of Lisa Frank and other 90's things. My mind is just going through flips because I was a kid in the 80s and a teen in the 90s, so seeing teenagers thinking that they're being retro with wearing stuff that was new when I was younger is weird.

Oasis the band. Seriously Wonder Wall became the bane of my existence. So many bad shows mixed in with the good.

Oh god, I remember that...I had to hear people tell me how cool Tom Green was in high school.

Yeah but there was also a ton of bad music as well. For every one good song, there was some horrible music, and the rise of the grunge music.

But that is true for any time period.

Grunge is not a genre of music. It was a blanket term to market Seattle bands.
-
Grunge saved the world from 80s Hair Bands. I'd take Nirvanna, Pearl Jam and Green Day (not Grunge, but Neo Punk) over the likes of Poison and Motley Crew any day.

Reed Richards has no appeal as a character. Marvel should kill him off and replace him with the Silver Surfer, after powering the Surfer down to a reasonable level.

As more time elapses, I see less and less disparity, tbh.
Never asked to be saved from The [B]Crue[/B], frankly. \m/

Some of us did, though! ;)

After a decade of greatness from Motley Crue, it was just time for a change. People just wanted more whiny, mopey tunes.
