Volume 253: Hanson "MMMBop" (1997)

I mean, if this isn't the anti-Aphex Twin, I don't know what is. This is a song you remember no matter where the 90s found you.

Strung out in a gutter, unable to reconcile the death of Kurt Cobain? You heard MMMbop.

Making exorbitant amounts of money in the .com boom? You heard MMMbop.

Experimenting with your "goth" phase? Doesn't matter. You heard MMMBop.

Twelve years old, playing basketball in the driveway with your best friend, who quietly admits to liking Hanson, and even at twelve years old you somehow understand that this is not okay? Well, you definitely heard MMMBop.

Hanson kind of matured into sophisticated musicians. I don't exactly keep up with their catalog, but I hear things. Maybe you should check out their newer stuff. Apparently those little blonde girls grew up to be men.
