LOVE WAS WHEN I LOVED YOU ONE TRUE TIME I HOLD TO

i was just watching a show on max, 1999 rewind or something of a similar title

so.. i forgot how awesome the 90s were? or maybe i didn't forget, i simply REALISED how awesome they were. i guess it was the soundtrack to our lives when we did a lot of growing up, for me at least if you're from another generation.. well that's awesome too. the 90's was heaps of that corny shit that you don't want to admit you like but come on, it's the kind of music you play in the car with your friends and it makes you feel invincible and like the friendships you have will never end and that basically your life is great just at that moment. the early stages even had attributes of grunge.

i think something doesn't become 'cool' until it's gone. i mean, surrounded by the decade of boy bands and d-d-d-dubbing and low camera angles, i'm sure that it seemed lame and wouldn't it be so much cooler to have 'grown up' in the 60s, 70s or 80s. BUT, now that we're in the awful, awful 2000s, or 'noughties' the 90s just seem so damn great.

so i guess i'm just waiting for a little perspective or hindsight on what i believe is a decade of awful music, to hit me in 10 years or maybe 20, and have my little boy sirius ask me what it was like living with all the syyynths and did i ever see RATATAT live?

because i know that's what i do to my parents
