QUESTION

if you remember the 90's, what's the song that comes to mind for you when remembering?

(mine is "I'll Be Missing You" by Puff Daddy feat. Faith Evans and 112
runner up is "Believe" by Cher

and maybe 'Lithium' by Nirvana)

[Nichi]

For me, the big 3 are:
What is Love? -- Haddaway
MMMBop -- Hanson
There's Only One Way to Rock -- Sammy Hagar

I still remember fondly of, a few years ago, playing Doom while listing to the '90s station on satellite radio. Nothing like mowing down demons with a machine gun while MMMBop plays in the background xD

Runners up would be:
Hold My Hand -- Hootie & the Blowfish
One Headlight -- The Wallflowers

[Chocofreak13]

the last two were both good songs. :3

What is Love? -- Haddaway

Baby don't hurt me... don't hurt me... no more...

woah-oh-oh-oah! woah-oh-oah! woah-oh!

Also, according to an online implicit association test created by Harvard, I have a "slight automatic preference for fat people (as compared to thin people)" and a "slight automatic preference for gay people (as compared to straight people)".

...but fat gay people are so annoying... they drink all your nice wines and fancy pastas... :/

Bwahahahaha.

I should note that I don't really think my bias is as much for gay people (specifically) as it is for non-heterosexual / non-heteronormative folks in general ... which I can only assume comes from being a non-hetero person myself and finding the entire "traditional heterosexual" life-cycle painfully unappealing (ie, I've never WANTED to date for the sake of dating, an opposite-sex partner specifically, to engage in serial monogamy until I find "the one", I've never felt the strong desire to get married, to have children [and actively dislike the thought of having kids with a mate], etc...)

I'm assuming the slight bias toward fat people comes from my family - most of my aunts and a fair portion of my cousins on my mum's side and my dad were/are on the heavy side so maybe this is what's given me a better impression of bigger folks (despite living in a culture where weight discrimination/shaming is rampant).

QUESTION

if you remember the 90's, what's the song that comes to mind for you when remembering?

I really don't know ... most of the music I was exposed to in the 90s sucked and I don't want to think about it. .__.

[Chocofreak13]

i never said it had to be good. i just said that "when you hear "the 90's", what song comes to mind?"

[Cockleshell]

I instantly think this, but it's not exactly 90s...

@Cockle: Well, one of the songs I named off was actually an '80s song, but I first heard it in the '90s ^_^;;

[Chocofreak13]

it's kind of a grey area....technically all the songs i mentioned came out in the 90's, but i suppose if it reminds you of the 90's it counts. though the songs i mentioned evoke ACTUAL memories. as in, i can't remember how many times i heard "I'll be Missin' You" (i hung out with my cousins a lot when i was a kid and they almost exclusively listened to rap).

AND I JUST REMEMBERED ONE THAT IS EVEN MORE POWERFUL THAN THAT.

the song i probably heard the most in the 90's was "Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)" by Pras feat. Ol' Dirty Bastard and Mya.

i sung the chorus to that song so many times as a kid. >w<

[IanDanKilmaster]

Hmmm... that's really a tough call.  The nineties are not a time I very often remember fondly.  In fact, the majority of the music I heard for the first half of the decade was sh*tty music from Nashville (not all country is bad, mind you, but most of the stuff from Nashville is garbage), so it's pretty difficult to pin down a song that really defined the nineties for me.  So, the best I can recall (not saying this is the best band/song or whatever, just the one that stands out) is probably Push, and Matchbox 20 were definitely THE nineties band for me in terms of airplay, though.

[Chocofreak13]

ooo, Matchbox 20. i listened to their stuff quite a bit back in the day (i still have some of their songs, but my mum and sister liked them, so it was spamed a bit. not that i complained, lol. xD). it says a lot that i knew the band name when i was young, considering i didn't really start paying attention to who was singing what till i got an ipod.

[IanDanKilmaster]

I just remembered another nineties group - The Offspring.

I think most people will remember
this one, but what about
this one?

I know I shouldn't, but I still really like that band.  Makes me wish I hadn't sold that copy of Splinter that I had... :/
