Third counter-point and this is strictly personal: The song came out the year a friend of many of my friends (who was, coincidentally a freshman in high school) committed suicide. It was the first time someone I'd ever known took their own life, so the lyrics really hit home for a lot of us. I believe there was even a…

Well, it's apparent that when you were young, you knew everything.

Yeah, I really liked a solid 2/3rds of that albums. But it really is near unlistenable with how loud it is.

Yep, I remember when it went off the air playing that song. Our choir teacher stopped class to talk about it (which I guess showed that maybe alt-rock didn't die for everyone post-1996). I remember listening as that loop played the song for the last time, then it switched over to the hip-hop station, which was…

Also, it can't be overstated how, around this time, much alt-rock stations gave female musicians like Alanis, Fiona Apple, Lucious Jackson, Paula Cole, etc., voices when Top 40 wouldn't take chances on them (They later did once the songs crossed over to Pop formats.)

Take out Liv Tyler and it's damn near perfect.

The whole obsession with Rosie is truly odd to look back on. My family totally bought into it, with my sister getting the "Talkin' Rosie" doll for Christmas.

I'll take it just for the Dr. Evil joke from the first "Austin Powers."

Anectdotally speaking, most of the kids are listening to hip-hop or pop, with the nerdier folk being more into alt-rock, which is basically electronic rock at this point.

Move to Kansas City - we have two alt-rock stations and they play a ton of AWOLNATION all the time.

People can talk shit all they want on Zwan, but it brought me great joy to hear new music with Corgan singing with Chamberlain's machine gun drums providing the beat.

It still blows my mind how much incredible music they made during the MCATIS sessions. The B-sides alone are fantastic.

Being 13 around that time and listening to 107.9 The End in Cleveland (the only alternative station in northeast Ohio), that was the music I grew up on. They had great DJs who clearly were having fun trying to figure how alt-rock would stay afloat as it constantly shifted sounds. But yeah, "One Week," "The Way," "You…

I'll defend "Cracked Rear View" for its earnestness and that it's fairly catchy. Sure, Darius Rucker has absolutely zero range, but he used it well enough. Plus, it had a song rallying against the Confederate flag, so I give them extra points for being able to do that and still sell bazillions of albums.

I get what they were saying, but they glossed over that Robbie played fairly empowered women in two of the other 2016 movies she was in, "The Legend of Tarzan" and "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot," both movies that didn't sexualize her.

My favorite thing is Will Smith responding to a reporter's question about how he reacted when Leto did that stupid "method" shit to him: he texted him and said "Hey man, I'm just acting."

This more of the same old shit than even GOTG.

Well this took a turn.

"Kick-Ass" was the absolute worst, with the only competition being its sequel and maybe that Angelina Joile comics movie where the bullet curved.

I just brought it up as a comparison to throwing out some ridiculous mental gymnastics for why this is bad, rather than accepting maybe it just isn't good.
