underage get out

Man the internet sure sucks. There's like nothing here.

AOTY

MODS

As someone who was 19 then:

LSD was *everywhere*, and so many of us were overdoing it. There would be some big busts of chemists in the early 00s that critically slowed its circulation, but at the time, post-Grateful Dead tours, the Phish / jamband scene, and raves had it flowing among the college and high school kids.

Ecstasy was big too, obviously.

You had to endure stuff like pop-punk, third-wave ska, Sublime, nu-metal, post-grunge/buttrock etc everywhere, as well as boybands (which in hindsight weren't even as bad as those others), but also had amazing rap singles coming out ever week and still a lot of energy in the rave scene to enjoy (I tended to go to DnB events, or at massives drifted between DnB, Happy Hardcore, and a bit of Gabber).

Anyone who thinks these were more innocent times weren't of age then. There was tons of aggroness between people, gang violence, and a LOT of racial tension, especially in Southern California where I was.

The internet was now seemingly in most suburban households, but hadn't become a totally dominant part of life quite yet (that would establish in the next few years). Early memes already existed but the contemporary flavor of memes really started in 'Internet 2.0' era particularly with Sup Forums culture, YTMND, etc.

Probably. Most likely.

But Wilco's Summer Teeth, The Flaming Lips Soft Bulletin and Sleater-Kinney's The Hot Rock are all worthy competitors.

I bought the Spiceworld movie from Video 99 that year. Probably on Rollerblades, with my dyed blonde cowlick. Later, an older boy at school told me the Backstreet boys were gays and my world crumbled

I was always an anti-social homebody. Never went out clubbing. Sounds like I didn't miss much.

The internet was kind of cool back then. No blogs or wikis. Just a bunch of poorly designed personal web sites on shitty servers like Geocities and Tripod. But people put a lot of heart into those. I'm just glad the sites I made back then are gone for good, lol. Also, usenet and IRC were the shit.

Goo goo ga ga

WALK AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

I can't wait for Brockhampton to release Saturation in 18 years.

I DID IT ALL FOR DA NOOKIE

the karma police will get you

>No blogs or wikis. Just a bunch of poorly designed personal web sites on shitty servers like Geocities and Tripod.

Yeah, the internet was mostly personal homepages saying "welcome to my website!" with some early gifs, porn sites with poor image quality, and usenet newsgroups as far as forum discussion.

But I would say you missed quite a lot if you didn't go out. Raves to this day are some of the most exciting things I ever experienced. And all the tripping and adventures with friends and girlfriends, cross-country roadtrips, etc.

Dear God, let's forget that genre.

>1999 was 18 years ago
>"underage"

Why in the holy fuck are you guys posting images this large? It took me more than 3 minutes to open a few of these.

but they weren't alive in 1999 dumbfuck

THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE
WHEN WORLDS COLIIIIIIIDDEEEEE

...

I'm about to visit the twin towers what music you guys recommend for the trip?

Rock was still alive and well back then and major music festivals like Woodstock '99 were happening.

Any song about NYC should work.

Been jammin to this lately

This was Blur's best album, and probably my favorite album of 1999

Explosions In The Sky

...

Best album from Blur.

Are you from the future?

If 90s kids (actual 90s kids, not born-in-99 Facebook bandwagoners) were born between about 1983 and 1993, then exactly does one have to be born to be considered an "early 2000s kid"?

Woodstock 99 was famously bad though.

And 'rock' existed, sure, but it was in the midst of its lowest disgrace that basically killed it: the rapid decline from grunge / 'alternative' into the whole post-grunge / nu-metal / pop-punk thing, very quickly and cynically replaced with teenpop, which if anything, was BETTER than that shit.

Living through the 90s was basically watching a sudden burst of a supposed 'revitalization' of 'authentic' rock followed by its immediate cashing out and ruination. All this while new forms less compromised by notions of some punk-rock authenticity as distinct from capitalization flourished (electronic and hip-hop).

So when do you think we'll get the next Swans album?
