became adults in the worst decade since the Great Depression

...

See, people get nostalgic for that depression as well! How great was it really?

in that full house clip, i don't actually hear two guitars -- though they are playing two guitars. how is this possible?

superbook -- is this like veggie tales?

oh i listened to a neon indian song. it wasn't bad.

band names have been awful for decades. sometimes i need to pause and remind myself of that fact. a band named "japan." that's dumb. or "new order." that's dumb too. we just forget because we are so accustomed to them.

You know how it happens. Bands pick a new name every six months or so, then suddenly they get "national acclaim" and are stuck with the name they had at the time.

Like, is "The Crucial Three" a better name than "Echo and the Bunnymen" ?

Yeah but the 90s didn't have an influx of grunge/indierockers named The Brady Bunch, Scooby Doo, Happy Days, etc.

do you think the band named themselves after the tailfeathers of actual ducks and has never heard of the show? xpost

ducktails are what ducks have on their butt

There were the Groovie Ghoulies. I bet there were others, too.

i'm just saying there's an ambiguity there that you guys are seemingly ignoring. the names are different. you are assuming it's referential.

xpost Kenickie, Tuscadero named after characters from "Grease" and "Happy Days" respectively.

This page is dedicated to the ducktail haircut. Other than the poodle skirt, no other symbol of the Fifties has captured the imagination and endured so well.

Also called the D.A. or duck butt, the style requires that you comb the hair back to the middle of the head, then with the end of a rattail comb, make a center part.

Let us consider its contribution to the term "greasers." To accomplish this look, lots of hair grease is required. In this case, a little dab ain't gonna do ya. In the 50s you may remember, there were no blow dryers to create a look. To make hair stay in a certain style, you had to either spray or grease. Well, real men didn't spray.

The D.A. quickly identified a guy as a rebel, a non-conformist. Although once everyone in a group does an identical thing, such standardization is conformity, but hey, it's remains cool compared to the mainstream.

Although the ducktail was adopted lovingly by Hollywood to represent the wild youth of the Fifties, the fact is that only a small minority of guys actually sported a D.A.

hardcore chillwave band attack attack! has a song named stick stickly tho

soooooooooo in the 60's you had 20s and 30s revival, in the 70's you had 50's AND 20s and 30s revival, in the 80's you had 50s and 60s revival, in the 90's you had 40's revival and the start of 80's revival and probably more 60's revival too, and in the 21st century so far we've seen 60's and 70's and 80's revival. i'm thinking 2010 should be the year of 1910! its time has come.

fort thunder dudes like chippendale and paperrad or whatev would do weird and wild stuff in their art with thngs like garfield and bart simps, but it was always really mutated and distorted and weird, and generally pretty awesome.
