When I think of the 90s I tend to forget about the boybands and I prefer to remember The Prodigy.

I actually don't remember much of the 90s except for this one time in kindergarten when a girl came over to my house and we slept in the same bed. Good times.. I haven't seen much action since..

I don't remember much of middle school or high school either (As recent as 2006). Is it possible that some things disturb you so much you try to subconsciously get rid of them? I think I did that somehow.

Anyway, I just took this genius test and figured out I'm a genius - 2. I am only up to 17. I didn't cheat either. 19 means your a genius. Edit: I'm a genius now!

Actually, yes, it is possible.

Yeah it's called repression, usually events have to be quite severly traumatizing for the brain to actually repress them though. Repression can often lead to Schizophrenia, it's not a good thing

 

[noble savage]

That's good to hear. I thought it might have been because of all of the heavy metal laced air of Pittsburgh.

Nahh, I don't think so. I just talk to myself about how I'm going to rationalize the situation.

Trying to read a computer screen after having your eyes dilated is... pointless.

Trying to read pretty much anything after having your eyed dilated is pointless..

You two have to stop eating the brown acid!

Haha. My car's out of commission at the moment, and my dad was kind enough to drive me to my appointment yesterday. I actually had to ask him to read the items on the bill to me since I couldn't see a damn thing. Truly, pointless.

Wanna know what's more pointless? I flew to Phoenix this morning for management training. Tonight, I will fly from Phoenix to Dallas to drive up to Frisco, TX. I think I'll make it to the hotel around 12:30. Then I train a bunch of guys in a statistics tool they've probably already used for years. Then I drive back to Dallas, fly to Oakland, and drive to Concord. I should make it to the hotel by 2:00 am. Thursday I train another bunch of guys in the same tool. I get to stay overnight again (I should reserve my table at EJ Phair now!) before driving back to Oakland and flying home Friday.

That is pointless!

agreed. I only remember the American hits. "Firestarter", "Smack My Bitch Up" and... probably one other. Vicky also showed me a few others when we talked, but i can't remember. They were good though... I actually have to say The Prodigy were great for techno stuff... way better than boybands.

i spose youre right, the 90's werent all bad, i mean i still fucking love the music i listened to back then like pearl jam, soundgarden, STP, even Nirvana haha.. sshh

 

[schenkadere]

There was a lot of great metal in the 90's...everyone choses to remember grunge and rap-metal crap.

Rust in Peace, Painkiller, Divine Wings of Tragedy, Twilight in Olympus, Nightfall in Middle-Earth, Night of the Stormrider...all classics...the list goes on and on.

That's funny, i've been listening to Pearl Jam's "Ten" a lot lately. It's a great album... and some ofthe songs are VERY metal.

I also really like that album. That and the first three Stone Temple Pilot CDs. Great stuff!

 

[squidfetish]

I thought Pearl Jam went downhill after Ten. As far as grunge went, I was always more of an Alice In Chains guy myself.. and Soundgarden too...

Good call on AIC. Funny thing is that a lot of those guys were so influenced by the metal scene early on... you can tell by the first few records of all those bands. maybe the attitude changed and the song content changed, but much of the musicianship and actual songs are very much metal. I think it's funny that it got tagged "grunge" when it was just a bunch of anti-scene people who just wanted to rock while not wanting to be rockstars.

Pearl Jam, AIC, Soundgarden... all had solid first album (or first few... or in the case of AIC, all their stuff). Grunge is a bullshit term.

and fuck nirvana

 

[Kenneth R.]

definitely fuck nirvana. I never really got into Pearl Jam much, or AIC or Soundgarden. Just wasn't my scene I guess.
