really I had a passing interest in VtM at the time because I got into it via the card game Jyhad
But finding a group of people that fall after it was canceled in the park doing larping {at the time I called it something else} I struck up a conversation with one of the women and ended up going to a walk and talk with her
Little Did I know she and I would have a interesting relationship for the next nearly 10 years

Does anyone else feel like every time you hear "Alive" by Pearl Jam, it seems like Eddie Vedder is just gloating at this point?
I was listening to Alive the other day, and I guess I never really listened to the lyrics. I kind of thought the 2nd verse was talking about a bad first sexual encounter, because I thought the words were “‘cept blood... yeah blood” but it’s actually “cept the look, yeah the look” and I looked it up and it’s actually the guys mom doing incest with him.
So yeah... learning new stuff with misheard lyrics all the time.
wait, what? I thought Alive was about never getting to meet his real father?
It's both, part bio/part fiction, he's said it himself
The song is the first piece in a trilogy of songs in what Vedder later described as a "mini-opera" entitled Mamasan, which is composed of the songs "Alive", "Once", and "Footsteps". "Alive" tells the story of a young man discovering that the man he thought was his father is actually his stepfather, while his mother’s grief leads to an incestuous relationship with the son, who strongly resembles the biological father. This leads to "Once" in which the man descends into madness and goes on a killing spree, and "Footsteps" in which the man is eventually looking back from a prison cell awaiting his execution.
"Alive" has been revealed by Vedder to be part autobiographical and part fiction. When Vedder was a teenager, his mother revealed to him that the man he thought was his father was actually his stepfather, and that his biological father was dead. The first and last verses detail those actual events, but the second verse is storytelling on Vedder's part.

The invisible man was 2000, it was dope.
I love Kyle Chandler and will basically watch him in anything.
I see that, and raise you this:
In terms of songs that remind of the 90s and I like with no irony, (and might have been posted already), but Save Tonight-Eagle-Eye Cherry:
Poe - Amazed

A bit of a deep cut, but I wanted to get some more hip-hop in the mix and this is a banger.
Stone Temple Pilots - Tripping on a Hole in a Paper Heart
Ok, STP is far from a great band, but they are fun enough that someone should have posted a song by now.
Faith No More - Kindergarten
Ok, really any track from Angel Dust. That album is fucking bonkers.
Deftones - Passenger
The only good nu-metal band, here, paired with Maynard.
you take that back
I'll see your Homeboys in Outerspace and raise you a Shasta McNasty.
tell the man how much i love shasta mcnasty
I never finish anyth
a steady diet of Star Trek shows, anime, and Saturday Night Live.
Musically I’m pretty sure I just kept listening to KRTH 101 and discovered JRock in, like, 1995.
I didn’t really encounter Hip Hop until college. I only started listening cuz all the Japanese American kids from Torrance loved it.
Is that Ready Steady Go?
Edit:
Blurry Eyes (first track I ever heard by them)
C'est La Vie
Vivid Colors
Still I'm With You
Dune
Those are the jams I used to enjoy.
I didn't realize Neo Universe wasn't until I was in college, though.
Or that Time Slip was from the same album. That was the age of Napster, so I ended up getting a lot of their shit piecemeal through the intertrons.
I haven't thought about that in a long time, but I was way into that show
EDIT: Hot damn, it's on Amazon Prime Video
I think I know what I'm gonna be killing time with
y'all, this dude loves Shasta mcnasty so much that he'll watch jake busey in pretty much anything
I got to see Chris Cornell perform this at the 9:30 club in DC

I thought this was an over the top 90's nostaligia fan video made last year until I saw young Shatner.

In fact the first thing I found is awesome so I have to share it!
