i want to hear them! it's my middle sister's fave show.

xp wait that was really lou barlow

During that interview and I remember being like wtf why is lou barlow on this episode of Sex in the 90s?! They never explained it and it's sort of perplexed me to this very day.

philly was the last season i watched, which was a great year because it brought us Karamo - i tried to do my part at the time to popularize "no karamo" as a substitute for no homo but it never took off

this was like my version of tuomas's mystery movie

HAHAHAHA

i don't understand, lou barlow was just on sex in the 90s opining?

actual in-office belly lol

The episode was "Breaking Up" btw and he was discussing the end of a relationship with someone named Kathleen.

sex in the 90s also gave us christine o'donnell of course, so take a penny/leave a penny

horseshoe yes he was being interviewed about his sex/love life

aw. but also, what?

xp

btw "kathleen" was really just code for "j. mascis"

ahahahaha

for some reason i think i knew of lou barlow as 'that guy' before i had ever heard his music and it really put me off wanting to hear it

No HS Sex in the 90s was a series where each show had diff themes like "Breaking Up" or "I have HIV". The shows would consist of interviews/stories of like 5 or 6 people. Lou Barlow was one of the people profiled on the Breaking Up ep but they never mentioned that he was in a band. He was just some dude named Lou.

yeah you had to be "in the know," i.e. a fucking nerd

i remember sex in the 90s! it's just that lou barlow being on it without being lou barlow is so weird.

mtv used to be so good, man

i actually was gonna interview him for one of the sebadoh reissues recently and it didn't happen but that was totally on my questions list

"so listen, lou, settle a bet..."

...like i think i saw a photo of sebadoh in ALTERNATIVE PRESS and was like "oh, that's the guy from the sex show"

i know for a fact he used the phrase "it was a toy love"

xps

IT WAS A TOY LOVE

this thread has made my day i love you guys

It was totally weird. I liked Sebadoh at that point and I remember being like WTF why is this happening and nobody is talking about the fact that that's him?! It has bothered me for a very long time. I am glad someone else has seen this. *daps Jess*

OMG GOOLE

is it just me or did the "twentysomethings" on mtv back in the day actually resemble real adults?

this may be a cultural problem, rather than mtv's

"y'all need to grow up. jeez."

tell 'em julie

Oh btw the real sex "I have HIV" featured a blonde straight girl who got HIV from her live in boyfriend and I made me so paranoid that I didn't have sex for years and when I finally did I was totally convinced I was going to get AIDS and die immediately.

like i remember watching these shows and being like "oh, it's a bunch of people in their 20s livin their lives in the real world, that looks pretty cool and i can't wait to get there" and now everyone between the ages of 20 to 29 on mtv looks like a disgusting overgrown high school junior with a buy-ten-and-the-next-one's-free card at a tanning salon

is it just me or did the "twentysomethings" on mtv back in the day actually resemble real adults?

part of it is that they were our age or older when the show started, and now they are all much much younger than us

</andy rooney>

i think that's about how we used to be teenagers and aspired to be twentysomethings and then we got old and the reality left something to be desired

lol xp

What do cast members of "The Real World" do after "The Real World"?

i've reached an age where i'm totally comfortable bitching about the decline of youth culture in a totally uninformed and cranky way

real talk: Heather B. has some dope songs

I got all up in arms the other day about the length (or lack therof) of shorts parents are letting their daughters parade around in these days.

lol

old.

also between perch and the lou barlow revelation i feel almost okay with not having left the house except to buy cigarettes this morning

i had a similar moment shopping the other day where everything i thought was a skirt was actually a dress and i was like what

julie from real world new york needs to tell these girls to put some damn clothes on

hahahaha seriously

i am jealous of jh's cigarettes

BTW I had the same skirt/dress confusion recently.

I hate shopping so much.

don't be, i sound like bea arthur these days

that's pretty awesome tbh
