Monday, April 12, 1999: Corporate tendrils

[NonsenseWords]

I never had experiences with people who demanded 'brand name' clothing or anything, but my lord did I know about girls squealing over boy bands. I admit that I liked some of their music just fine -- and still kind of do, in a cheesy, nostalgic kind of way -- but the extent of their popularity was something that I couldn't stand.

[Maggot Brain]

Never was a big fan of either, but I always liked Backstreet better than N'Sync.

Blur > Oasis

[Bocaj Claw]

Boy bands never really affected me because I didn't really get into music until a few years ago and even that's sort of scattershot and slapdash.

By making slanted references to the Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, and the Spice Girls, I wasn't exactly going for enduring relevance, was I? Then again, I don't think the phenomenon of manufactured pop music has ebbed at all in the few years since.

[klimt]

hey, i demand specific brand name clothing, because i know that its comfortable and i like the fit.

[Arloest]

The music I listen to is far less mainstream than the music DCS listens to.


In America, anyway.

[Cactus Jack]

My music is so not mainstream that the only way to get it is to ask a member of the band to burn you cd.
