But anyway:

"Top one, nice one, get sorted!"

"Turntables are outselling guitars!"

"Dance music is the new punk rock."

"Rap music is the new punk rock."

"Rage Against The Machine are one of the most important bands of our generation."

Actually, saying that something "is soooooooo" something else... is pretty darn 90's.

― maria b (maria b), Saturday, 16 October 2004 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Did anyone say that in the 90s, Geir?

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Saturday, 16 October 2004 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Monday, 18 October 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

What about the Verve in 1997?

1997 saw Radiohead high in the charts too, plus Oasis didn't release "Be Here Now" (thus jumping the shark) until the second half of 1997. I guess my statement was soooo 1998 :-)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 18 October 2004 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

what's the 00s equiv. of 'tune'?

"Hip-hop is the new jazz."

A very odd statement. It was most often said of hip-hop that sampled jazz! "Check out this Tribe song with the loop of the Mingus bassline...that's the new jazz, man."

"r.e.m. are going to break up on new year's eve 1999!!"

-- Cynthia Nixon Now More Than Ever

I thought that was the night G.G. Allin was going to kill himself on stage, taking a subtantial portion of the audience with him. New Years 1999 once seemed so exciting and full or promise.

― Mark (MarkR), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

GG was planning on it, but I don't think it was going to be on New Year's. The idea was to shove a lit stick of dynamite up his ass and run into the audience. Which is, of course, sheer brilliance.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah, remembering now that it was going to be "next Halloween."

― Mark (MarkR), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

It's always been weird that GG died of an overdose and Kurt Cobain committed suicide, instead of the other way around.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I said tune. not "tune". in response to Haddaway's invocation.
