Equal parts disgusting and awesome.Well done.

I've been wondering what a girl pop enthusiast thinks of Selina Gomez.

He called her 'Smiley', presumably because she smiled a lot. The 'S' got lost somewhere along the way.

For a 'party song' it is remarkably depressing.

Yeah, edited to fix.  Though 'you must be under 18 to buy smokes' would disturb me on a different level.

sorry, user name/comment synchronicity may have messed me up, but really just over thinking and poorly reading on my part.

Punk started out as tribalism, be it the tribe of bands that couldn't get played anywhere but CBGBs and Max's Kansas City or the tribe that formed (later) around the Sex Pistols (et al). The idealism quickly followed.

I had forgotten about that. That was also the year that the first Matrix and Star Wars ep1 came out. Not good movies but a big leap forward in graphics. Nostalgia aside, I do think 1999 will come to be seen as another 1939 for films.

@avclub-8146f98d564daf7f6cc87d9edcb92705:disqus, hopefully you point out to them that all of those bands (with the possible exception of Korn) came up well before nu-metal.

It's not. You're either thinking of Quarterback, Half Back, Full Back (terms which predate football) or Nickel/Dime defense (which refers how many players are lined up where). 
When Nickelback was first coming into fame, there was much ado about what their name meant (the most prevalent theory being that it had…

Like I said… completely arbitrarily. A record store with a separate rock and punk section are likely to put Nirvana in rock. Similarly, I doubt they show up on a satellite radio station specializing in 90s punk rock. Personally, I think it's really arbitrary and entirely dependent on what aspect of their music you're…

nm… I got mixed up on the nesting comments and was thinking that @avclub-e8e1ea96f3b1bf8e7400065325e188c8:disqus's comment was attached to the original post (which puns off sic through out being semper sic in Latin).

Those signs at convenience stores that say "You must have been born before [whatever year] to buy cigarettes" confuse and frighten me.

…or how Kanye West did that earlier this year.

Personally, I've always wanted to see a wacky workplace sit-com version of Das Boot.

Shouldn't this be "Semper 'sic' [scriptus sit]"? Ablative expressions like semper precede the sentence they're modifying.

@lost_limey:disqus, Sean Connery's voice was possibly the only thing not wrong with that movie.

And Silverchair is the only alt-rock band ever to be named after a C.S.Lewis book.  But, what is a Candlebox?

First time I realized that Backstreet Boys and N*Sync were different bands was similarly through a retard 14 year old girl. Still my primary association with the two bands.

Third Eye Blind? Seven Mary Three?
