It existed for sure, mainly from people who thought it was ridiculous and shallow image over substance.
It wasn't just 'indie' types who made fun of 'poodle metal', harder metal fans hated groups like Poison with the fury of a hundred suns.

More like Living Colour-Blind, am I right?

You wuss. Get hating.

I think the point of the feature is just to get someone to rant and scream and shit all over a song, nothing more nothing less.
I never thought it was a gateway to an indepth cultural analysis.
That said, it depends on the interviewee so much.

The main problem is that most of the reasons the interviewees give pretty much boil down to 'this was overplayed it just bugged me'.

Umm…if you get right down to it most of the interviews here that aren't Random Roles are promoting some upcoming project, and I wouldn't call Soundgarden an easy target at all.

He means one of them Jews.

It'd be like if Bret Easton Ellis hatesonged Candlebox.

Yeah especially given Jeremy is about two different school shooting incidents.
I'd be amazed any school would let it be played at a dance, especially given the video.
Ugh, Lisa Loeb, so bland and attempted angsty.

Black Hole Sun is definitely the weakest song on it I think. but even then it's not awful, just a little lacking compared to the rest.

I Love Rocky Road for sure.

The problem with the video is that the video is just like the director saw Blue Velvet just before making it, thought 'well the lyrics to the song are largely just strung together abstractions,so I'll just film all this surreal suburbia imagery and stick the band on a hilltop causing the sun to implode'.

I always remembered it this way;
The 80s had nostalgia for the 50s big time, and the 90s for the 60s and 70s.

They all wore flannel shirts.

One of the Bond stories is called 'Thunderball'. Starts off with Bond at a debutante ball where it rains heavily, ends with him balls deep in…

Well clearly he's hiding something and is probably a serial killer.

Jed Clampett went to University of Florida? Was it a Wednesday?

I think Kilmer could have been great, he was just in the wrong movie where his damaged and intense style didn't mesh with the borderline camp story.
I'm sure it didn't help that Schumacher absolutely loathed him and couldn't bear to even work together.

Yeah I've heard when he wasn't strung out and having his stomach rot he was pretty much a dryly funny guy.

My problem with Downton Owl was I'd read so many similar books to that already by other authors (Coupland, Moody,Cheever) and partly Northern Exposure, that it seemed almost him cribbing that milieau and trying to run off with it.
I mean it's fine, but fairly forgettable.
