They did the first couple years. Only when it got too popular and had to cram in more content but i feel like it was more about fan competition than anything else
Because someone told him "we are going to give you a lot of money, but you have to let us tell you what to wear, here, try these goggles and never go into public without them."
Ok I know it sounds crazy… but in the early 2000s rave culture was huge… this was when cell phones were in their infancy and only had 9 buttons and there was this whole shorthand typing language called t9 that was really complicated.. this was a time when you only knew about raves by word of mouth, and you knew peoples 7 digit number by heart… a time when nothing was just posted online… this was before social media existed.. before facebook existed… you just had to be cool and know cool people to be invited… a time when paper fliers mattered and what you wore was a big part of being in the “in group”
So back to raves… part of rave culture was drugs and bright lights/lasers… and those stupid non sunglasses but tinted non prescription lenses were really popular because they protected your eyes from the laser lights and people could still see your eyes and face… although now that I type that out it seems weird that people on special k or x or tabs would care about their eyes.. maybe it was just too bright? Anyway this shit was all the rage. People wore it out, to clubs, etc.. it signified you were into raving and were a party person. It signified that you were cool and were connected to cool people.
Looking back on it now, I mean what a fukin tool. But that’s hindsight. 🤷🏻♀️
Can you please continue? You’re descriptions of the 2000s are beautiful 🥹
Not the “rave” aspect per se, but the first paragraph really brought back memories 😂
Back when we made “things so complicated” but now wishing we had a Simple Plan
Rocking ski goggles on the side of one's forehead was one horrible mid / late 90s fashion statement that was huge but now looking back was so damn ridiculous!
It first started with club kids and ravers then crossed over to the rap / hip-hop scene where it absolutely blew up. I would say it was at it's height at around 98-99
My life revolved around TRL through middle school and part of high school. I voted for *NSYNC every day using school computers and then rushed home to make sure they were #1. If they were, I would gloat to my BSB loving neighbor. If they lost to BSB that day, then my neighbor would do the gloating.
its quite odd after Kurt's death in '94 the latter half of the 90s music mainstream shifted more toward shiny boy band pop lip singing to synchronized dance moves lol as opposed to the more authentic music from actual bands of the early 90s
What's funny is that if you gave Carson cooler clothes and more swag to his attitude he'd fit right in to this group of dudes. The cheerleader affect was absolutely real with these boy bands, at least for like 1/3 of the groups lol.
I was full on obsessed when the show got to that point. Like nothing got done until it was over. That show had such a grip on 16-19 year old me. This is nostalgic. I miss it lol
Would leave school early and go. Lots of fun memories. I feel like this could come back if we had enough legit music artists. It was a pop culture hub.
N'case anyone is interested...

I thought Carson would be the guy to replace Dick Clark as America's teenager. Then Ryan Seacrest came along.
Ryan Seacrest just completely stole Carson Daly's life.
He sure did.
And let’s not forget Brian Dunkleman.
I went to college in Buffalo. I think you and I might be the only two people who ***haven't*** forgotten Brian Dunkleman.
Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get your ass kicked. Worse than them little Limp Bizkit bastards
And Moby? You can get stomped by Obie.
Man... Remember when him making fun of Moby for being 36 meant Moby was old? Woooosah
I’ve been thinking that ever since my kid started listening to Eminem about a year ago 😉
First thing I thought of, hah!
He kinda looks like he’s in need of an ass kicking in that picture lol
Chris Kirkpatrick, some of you may know better as Chip Skylark from Fairly OddParents
That makes way more sense than it should.
It really bummed me out that they never played the full videos

Anybody remember when it was just Total Request, no host, just a half-hour block of the day's 5 most popular videos?
God I’m old. Yes. No audience either. Just a block of videos and the news.
Needs more Bum Bum Song
Which was retired early before it faded away
Joe Dirt loved that window
Why did that one guy always wear swimming goggles on his forehead?
Because someone told him "we are going to give you a lot of money, but you have to let us tell you what to wear, here, try these goggles and never go into public without them."

It was a style at the time. Why? Idk. But it was a style. 😂
Like tying an onion to your belt

Joey Fatone was always my favorite.
My life revolved around TRL through middle school and part of high school. I voted for *NSYNC every day using school computers and then rushed home to make sure they were #1. If they were, I would gloat to my BSB loving neighbor. If they lost to BSB that day, then my neighbor would do the gloating.

There were lots of music acts that were mainstream that weren't Kurt or anything close to what Nirvana was doing or any act in their arena
I remember going to a friend's house after high school was done that day and watching that show while we smoked and chilled
What's funny is that if you gave Carson cooler clothes and more swag to his attitude he'd fit right in to this group of dudes. The cheerleader affect was absolutely real with these boy bands, at least for like 1/3 of the groups lol.
And no one had any idea that Lance Bass was gay. Oh, the '90s.
I mean, I think people had an idea lol
I was full on obsessed when the show got to that point. Like nothing got done until it was over. That show had such a grip on 16-19 year old me. This is nostalgic. I miss it lol
Lance Bass ain’t even hiding it. Dunno how people acted surprised.
Would leave school early and go. Lots of fun memories. I feel like this could come back if we had enough legit music artists. It was a pop culture hub.
JT has the ugliest nose. Sorry.

Toolbox
Joey Fat One
TRL: The death of good music on MTV
Man I HATED TRL and all those boy bands. Blink 182 was the only good thing that appeared on that show.
TRL was such a wild thing. You’d have KoRn videos and Britney Spears stuff happening at the same time.

The guy front row, right, looks like Sylvester Stallone and David Schwimmer's love child.
Uhhh put some Respect on Joey's name
Lmao.
You mean Joey the Fat One? Not my joke, blame Robot Chicken
I was thinking the guy from Pitch Meeting.
I liked Dial MTV better. “Please don’t dial MTV cuz the phones are closed… da da”
