You guys had your decade and you wasted it. I Love the 90s is your Belle Epoque. Hal Sparks your Thomas Mann.Is that unfair? Let’s examine your great cultural statements:
Reality Bites, a generation of dudes whose primary goal in life was to sleep with Winona Ryder, Singles, Encouraging Cameron Crowe, Airheads, Empire Records, grunge, alt-rock. (Years later, none of us are entirely sure why anyone claimed to enjoy the sounds Eddie Vedder makes.) Perry Ferrell. Christ, what were drugs even made of in the 1990s?
But compared to mumblecore movies, Michael Cera, and “crunk core” bands…should Millenials really be talking shit?
