90se pretty cool, though I was just a teenager through it all.
Video games and computer tech, which were important to me, seemed like the most amazing thing ever. Technology just kept getting better so quickly every year and video games kept pushing the limits. We went from playing basic NES games to games with 3D graphics, voice acting, and cinematic storylines. It was incredible. I mean we went from playing stuff like Super Mario Bros 3, Final Fantasy 1 and TMNT 2 to Metal Gear Solid, Half Life, Final Fantasy VIII, Gram Turismo, and Silent Hill. All in the same decade.
Them you had TV and pop culture. Some of the best stuff came out or really came to it's peak in the 90s. Stuff that people still talk about to this day. Seinfeld and Friends come to mind, and certainly a lot of cartoons, especially Disney and Warmer Bros stuff.
That all may seem vain, but again I was a teenager then. That stuff all seemed cool to me. The 2000s and on all seemed like it was trying to recapture that magic, but couldn't quite do it. They had their own great qualities, but it just didn't feel like it had the same level of awesome.
Same 4 songs, performed by a dozen different singers. It drives me insane.
Also, I personally hate when a singer decides they're gonna perform their version of a song. I had an old music teacher that once said, " if you're going to cover an famous song, it needs to be better than the original." So for someone to say they're gonna cover Elvis' Blue Christmas, or Earl Ravencroft's performance of the Grinch song, are basically saying they're better than Elvis or Earl Ravencroft. With how low effort these covers are, that is definitely not the case and I feel like they insult our intelligence by shitting on all these classic songs.
Also it just doesn't make sense. The FBC are supposed to be clean cut, 1960s Mad Men or Men in Black aesthetic operatives. But the characters and even the logo are sloppy, rag tag looking.
Yeah this is like stable diffusion 3 quality
