Man, '97. It HAS been awhile. Don't think too hard about the year, that was just so you know it wasn't anything RECENT.
Wow, I'm getting old. To me, 1997 is extremely recent.

Do you consider mid-90s entertainment to be 'recent entertainment'? That's all I was referring to.
Absolutely.
Aaaaah.....still living in the 20th century I see.
No matter.
The future is now.
We are the future.
I was clarifying since Zero has much more recent usage in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion(2006), than what I originally referenced, Mega Man X(1993).
Stuntman Mike: "Do you know any of these shows or people I'm talking about??"
College Girl: (Shakes head numbly, with deer-in-headlights look.)
As far as you're concerned,.......doom.....

You probably wouldn't care for Code Geass. Giant robots, psychic powers, ridiculous Xanatos Gambits.
Whedon's Law: If it exists, it has been done in anime.
No, that would mean it sucks.
*sips more haterade*
If it exists, it sucks? Sounds a lot like the accusation that Boss hates everything.
Existing sucks?

damn, but that was some low tech shoop da woop.
Merely a diversion.
Our genegineers have neared completion of their work on the
ΩΩΩtacgnol.
He's a Hong Kong knock-off, what can we expect?
Rabbit: "It's really funny, Cap! It's Afghanistanimation! It's a cheaper Afghani knockoff of Japanimation..."
tacgnol=antimatter longcat.
with three omegas in front.....
a really long, really positronic longcat.

When talking about Michael Mann's version of Last of the Mohicans, for example, I still ask "You mean the new one?" for clarification.
I still think of Nirvana as "that newfangled Grunge stuff."
Hell, I still think of the Violent Femmes when I hear the word "alternative."
I was talking to a student of mine once, and the topic of Nirvana came up. He responded by saying "I don't listen to classic rock"...
...that was almost 8 years ago. I think I died a little inside...
....smells like Zygote Spirit....

As did I when that sad little band got so much air play.

You'll appreciate this one, then: not too many years before your incident, I found the students all gathered around the phonograph record player in my classroom. One of them said, "I know what this is! It's a musical instrument! It makes a noise like 'Woo-woo-woo!'"
When I finally explained what it actually used to do, one of the more engineering-oriented girls asked me if the arm is where the laser comes out.

At the time, those would've been fighting words. But I stopped listening to them somewhere around 1997 and no longer feel the appeal for that style of music anyway.
But then again, I'll sip the Hateraid and start fights while talking about the untouchables: Beatles... Hendrix... Elvis...
And who the hell are these kids, voting Korn as band of the Millenium?!?
Ok, it was ten years ago, they aren't kids anymore, but still...
oh man do I hate Korn...

yeah when Cobain died, after the second attempt, the local highschool, where my son now goes, sent the students home, feeling that it was too emotional for them. I was in shock, not that he died, he already tried once, but rather because it was such a big deal. Yeah the radio played their songs nonstop, but I for one, while I did not mind "grunge" per se, couldn't stand them, still can't.
now I did see one girl "very upset" it was a great afternoon and she got to play at the park.
Much different then when I remember Elvis passing. Everyone cried. It was the first time I can remember my mother having big crocodile tears.
Now, I liked Nirvana, but I'll add a tale about Cobain's death:
The local rock stations, of course, were playing Nirvana 24/7 and taking phone calls from bereaved fans. One woman/girl called up, got on the air live and recited the worst poem (an original composition, of course) that has ever been heard by human ears. It ended thusly (paraphrased from memory):
"And though I'll cry
Every time I hear it,
I will always remember
'Smells Like Teen Spirit'"
Egads!

Records have the best sound, in my experience. It's a shame other music storage platforms don't do more with high-definition.
I don't know what caused this Necro, or why but I must say.
I'm impressed that TOZ has a TVTropes page.
So say we both!

Every time this thread gets necro'ed I get all worried and upset (because some of actually LIKE TOZ, hard as it is to imagine), then I see it's this thread.
Kill it with fire!
Or better yet, kill math!
FIFY
