    yeah, I was gonna say...Bare Naked Ladies?

    The 90's were a throwback to the 70's, it was a reaction to the almost futurism and abstraction of 80's music. It's why EVERYTHING is an acoustic or amplified acoustic instrument. The reason the 80's nostalgia in music has been going on for so long is not that it is not nostalgia at all -- the progression of pop music from 50's-80's has been resumed.

    edit* I mean, I love 90's pop music. But I think that it will be seen as somewhat anachronistic in the coming decades.

    Woooo time to go home.

    But in the meantime one thing: Was just looking through the subset of mp3s I have at work and just have to ask all you youngin's on the board: what the fuck happened to music after circa 2000 or so? Did the shenanigans in Florida traumatize the fuck out of this country so bad that nearly everyone suddenly forgot how to rock?

    Ok, so the Gorillaz kick ass and I'm sure there are a few other isolated points of light but it seems like a whole lotta crap from where I'm standin'. Where is the Filter, Toadies, Nirvana, Collective Soul, Porno For Pyros, STP, Pearl Jam, Dead Milkmen, Our Lady Peace, Bare Naked Ladies, Presidents of the United States of America, Primitive Radio Gods, Splashdown or motherfukin' Sound Garden for this decade?

    oh man, you have gotten OLD.

    ...seriously...our lady peace? ugh.

    They didn't exactly have a wide body of work but Superman's Dead and Naveed were pretty damn good.

    Really I was just listing off the stuff I saw in the mp3s I have here at work.

    national embarrassment.

    you need to find some new stuff quick man.

    Did you know them or were you just in the same year as them?

    I played Halo with him a couple times. We weren't huge friends and I haven't really talked to him since graduating, but I'd say he probably would remember my name if he saw me.

    This is some bullshit right here. Everything is an acoustic? What the shit is this? Nirvana did more than just their "unplugged" concert.

    The best music of the 90s was an outgrowth of the good half of 80s music. EG: Metal. You can trace it back to a very few pioneers in the 70s (Dead Kennedys, Queen etc...) but seriously: Fuck Disco

    I think the "nostalgia" for the shitty half of the 80s is more a testament to the popularity and availability of E than anything else.

    The guitar is an acoustic instrument. Even an electric guitar has a pick-up that picks up the acoustic waves. There is a reason that overdrive (Big muff Pi, etc) came back in the 80's but you do not see a lot of bit-crushing, wave-table moduluation, etc. Distortion is simply a degradation in acoustic audio quality. Sooooo...you're wrong there.

    Metal is not pop music. And people that say fuck disco are generally losers who don't like to dance.

    Annnnnnd you might be right about the last part :P

    Everything you just said about how an electric guitar works is either incorrect or stated sufficiently incorrectly that it would be unreasonable to expect people to assume you have any idea what you're talking about. Electric guitars are absolutely not acoustic instruments. The pickups translate fluctuating magnetic resonance into electrical signals, the sound happens at the amp. Distortion pedals can alter the electrical signals without degrading them perceptibly if it's a good pedal.

    I'm gonna say no, unless for some reason your college has unreasonably hard intro psych classes.

    Then again, I don't know how difficult intro college psych is for people who don't have school psychologists as parents.

    Okay. That's how it always was in high school but I wasn't sure about college.

    Well, to be more precise, I wasn't as sure about the college courses a moment ago as I was at registration when I thought "Ha, these first classes will be easy, I don't need to wait until next term for 1101!"

    Oh, does a guitar cord turn the electroacoustic wave into a digital oscillation somehow? Oh, I must be terribly wrong. You're right -- it turned the acoustic forments into binaries. How stupid of me.
