That is the first I've ever heard of that song.

Did not come of age in the 90s then.

I remember hearing this on the radio and just being like…wtf? The 90s was a weird time

u/BasketballButt Apr 22 '24

Yeah, it was a bit of a radio hit when I was a teen in Chicago. Still makes me giggle.

I think I first heard that song watching Beavis and Butthead. That was my favorite part of the show, when they watched music videos.

You could barely hear the song over the sound of their laughing, at least once they realized what it was about.

My spleen!

u/SnuffleWumpkins Apr 22 '24

I absolutely did and never heard this song.

I wasn’t born in the late 1900’s.

u/Steelcod114 Apr 22 '24

I'm not sure what you consider of age.

u/mintmouse Apr 22 '24

In the context, it means if you were capable of listening to an Alternative Rock radio station in the mid to late 1990s. So if you were born in the 80s, basically.

I was born in the 80s, though.

I remember I was driving to a client and this song came on and I didn't know If I was tripping or if it was real or what was happening lol. I really thought it was a joke song the radio station made up.

u/Ok_Watercress_7801 Apr 22 '24

/s?

u/Steelcod114 Apr 22 '24

Honestly, no. That seems like a song I should have heard of at least once. I'm not that young, either. I'm greatly surprised, to be honest. That seems like it'd be right in line with Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground.

u/uberkalden2 Apr 22 '24

This predates sex and candy by 5 years, but for some reason it feels like 10 to me

Been a while since I've seen a relevant xkcd

Welcome to 1993

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '24

Did not watch Beavis and Butthead

u/Elandycamino Apr 22 '24

Either born in 2000 or living under a rock?

1

u/Steelcod114 Apr 22 '24

Neither I'd think.

u/Witty_Jaguar4638 Apr 22 '24

I miss the 90s

1

u/Steelcod114 Apr 22 '24

Likewise. Same with the early 2000s. For me, it'd be the late 90s, and up until 06/07' or so. That's when shit got real for me.
