From Grunge to Gangsta Rap and everything in between! Post a song and let's talk about it!

Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. Music is highly subjective, and people have different tastes.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL rather than a specific Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write YT links to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Put the link to the song in the URL field and not the post body.
  5. Submissions must be from the 90s (1990 - 1999) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1999 but released in 2000, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 90s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

Fun fact: Grant Morrison later created an X-Men character called Negasonic Teenage Warhead named after this song! Later versions of the character also remarkably resemble the lady from the video lol

I always thought it was the other way around because they also have a song about ego the living planet.

It's both! The song Ego the Living Planet is named after the comic book character, but Negasonic Teenage Warhead is named after the song

Ego the Living Planet was created in 1966, the album Dopes to Infinity came out in 1995, and the character Negasonic Teenage Warhead was created in 2001

Also, the band itself is named after a kids toy that came out in the 60s lol

At least to me, Space Lord has always felt like a theme song for Galactus.

Haha, that's wild, thank you for the fun fact! Amazing album and band as well.

To add - this is the teen member of the X-Men seen in Deadpool 2 alongside Colossus.

She was in the first one with Colossus, too.

Oh youre right, I was thinking of the first one actually, but since she's back in the 2nd that was what came to mind

Always got love for a band out of NJ, especially underrated the likes of Monster Magnet. Discovered them randomly at a summer camp when I was maybe 10, some kid was giving out CDs, one of which was Monster Magnet's Power Trip (and the rest were forgettable). I picked Power Trip in particular because I liked the design on the CD.
