We're Not Done Yet
The 90s is still the ace up our sleeves
7/12/2023 - Dan
It's been some time since The Schroeder 'Zine put out content, since the writers for the magazine were unfortunately sidetracked by being middle aged and not giving a rats ass about very much. Plus, Nate got tired of not being able to put embeds into the actual articles, but instead everything just being grouped at the bottom like citations at the end of a pubmed article one might read to find out why they're so decrepit by age 40.
Since we're a “retro” publication in many ways, bringing our generation “nothing” (at one point we were gen Y) perspective to the digital age, it seemed like more 90s type stuff would be the way to go. The 90s are getting popular again anyways so it works out pretty well for us: Let us seize this opportunity where there is reverence for our coming of age era, before it passes in the blink of an eye and people start to feel nostalgic about Macklemore. Let's juice this 90s thing really hard because it's the only thing we really understand; it shaped us, right now it's considered cool and we can kind of pretend we are too.
List of funny take on 90s band names that I came up with on the couch while listening to Blossom Dearie (who wasn't from the 90s):
Stone Temple Pilates
Alanis Null-set
Strawberry Jam (reference to Pearl Jam btw)
County Crows
Crash Test Morons
Nine Inch Phillips-head Screw
Depeche A La Mode
Old Order (like New Order but the opposite)
Rage Against The Henry Mancini
The Wu-Tang Takeout
Tasmin Archer lvl 1 Starting Class
Radioheadache
Already Smashed Pumpkins
Faith Yes More
System of an Up
KMFDSTFU
Overweight Puppy
Aphex Only Child
The Gin Rummy Blossoms
Dinosaur Senior
Anyways whatever, you get the point. You're also free to think of your own band names and pretend they were part of this article, and even print this out and pencil them in which is why I left some space at the end.
