I’m sorry the person you were when you were younger embarrasses you so much now, but that does not make this album bad, it makes your perspective shallow.

This is why they are now exes. Everyone should be allowed to have whatever dumb likes & hobbies they want to. It’s one thing to lovingly poke fun at a partners interest for which you simply cannot comprehend the appeal. It’s something else entirely to be demeaning to the point of shame.

My stupid ex did the same to me, even reading now makes me feel stupid.

There are very few albums from this era that hold up.

You leave Trent out of this. The Downward Spiral is still amazing - you’re pretty spot on on the others though.

Think about the term “guilty pleasure” and what’s often cited:  things women are “supposed” to like such as romantic comedies, pop music, chick lit.  Have you ever heard of anything masculine-coded as someone’s guilty pleasure?

The other day, my husband said to me, “I decided not to try to reason with you about buying Jagged Little Pill on vinyl and bought what was in our Amazon cart.” I gave him a pitying look and said, “It is an amazing album. You’ll see.You’ll see.”

Girl. No. This is a bad take and you should feel bad about it.

Is it possible your husband ruined it for you with his attitude?  My ex made me hate things I loved by ridiculing me/them.  

I don’t agree with your take. I saw Alanis in concert last summer and she rocked all the songs from Jagged Little Pill and it absolutely still holds up. 

As a kid that hit middle school a year after this album came out, Jagged Little Pill felt like the first time I had permission to be ANGRY or disgruntled.

Gotta disagree hard on this one. IMO Jagged Little Pill holds up as a top 10 90s album. It’s a viscerally angry album and Alanis is SO GOOD at getting her emotions across.

Crazy bitch needs to keep her tits to herself. your tit juice ain’t magic and formula isn’t poison.

Yep, currently breastfeeding and have had to quit milk, soy and egg. Would be ropable if someone fed my baby because that reaction would take weeks to get over. Live in fear that her childcare will give her the wrong milk- her bottle has her name ALL over it!

First off, ask for permission you crazy fuck.

Not only am I pissed about this because of the consent issues, it’s also a health hazard. The baby could have been allergic to a number of things the day care worker ate beforehand. Anyone who ate strawberries, nursed their child and found themselves holding a baby covered in red spots knows that allergens are…

She is a fucking incredible con artist. She cultivated a personal story and fake business idea that so specifically and elegantly appealed to the combined bullshit-gobbling instincts of Silicon Valley and the interested media that I can’t help but give her a slow clap on the way to her prison cell.

Elizabeth Holmes is a human Fyre Festival.

I mean, what she did was terrible and all, but I’ll give her credit for brining me and my mom closer together. My mom worked as a lab tech for forty years, and we love to goss over each new tidbit that comes out about this crazy lady.

I mean, say what you will about Elizabeth Holmes, but my god is she an amazing pioneer in the field of gender equality for massive corporate con-jobs.
