In the comments thread of another post, a guy named Dave who apparently REALLY loves the ’90s turned a discussion about graffiti into an argument about whether or not this current decade is the worst decade:
Seriously, the 00s have got to be the worst decade in modern pop cultural history. From reality TV to what passes for music on the Billboard Top 100, to those geek pillow fights, to “deejays” displacing real musicians, and ultimately to these low rent dorks flying around the world to tag buildings and take the pictures home to show off with.
Starts here, but he goes on to impugn Amy and Kelly and the entirety of an era that I pretty much just love.
I mean, Back to Black, Sounds of Silver, Blood Visions, Discovery, Love & Theft, Is This It, Wedding Crashers, Ghost World, YouTube, Christian Bale, Do’s and Don’ts, The Sopranos, Zooey Deschanel, East Bound & Down — I can’t remember anything in the ’90s as good as any of that. Plus, that was just off the top of my head. This decade rules.
He might be right about the geek pillow fights though.
