n o t e s:
this will get like ten views but listen... listen..
it's nearly two in the morning and I'm sleep deprived / will regret this tomorrow so this will make zero coherent sense and no one probably reads these anyway but whatever whatever we move
if you subscribe then one (or all) of the following prob applies:
ur alternative
u spend too much time in ur room
u have good music taste
ur into broody goths
u don't quite fit into conventional society in some way
if so, you've probs already heard of this show, or would relate to it bc it's basically about two girls who bond over their complete apathy for the high school experience and their existence in general
more on that later
I'm avoiding character names yet again bc otherwise YT will come for my ass / block all my stuff
firstly - his voice. like wow. shit hits deep man. I truly have no words other than that lol. also I'm in love with J like what can I say, she's an artiste and inspired me to get my ears pierced four times so I could do her triple hoops thing. I can see why ppl ship D and J together as well like they're giving *best friends question mark question mark* energy at points
secondly - the plot of the video bc y'all know I love a *storyline*
I wanted to pick a song that's like, worthy of this show, and was released around the same time. this band isn't even on spotify or anything which is a shocker but I feel like it has bittersweet vibes...?
I wanted to try and capture that 'first crush' feeling that D has in most of the series - the forbidden element of it bc its her best friends older brother but also that brutal and obvious fact that it would NEVER work (at least not during the series)
I'd like to think that when D and J move to Boston they'll still see T around and maybe they could try it out later down the line, but that's just my HC. I think he's a really sweet guy in the series and isn't trying to hurt her or anything, just knows that he's not really good for her and also lets face it is a bit of a mess (hello MONIQUE)
okay anyway back to the show itself, bc if you haven't seen it none of the above will make any sense to you LMAO
its as old as me (scary) but is literally iconic, I first watched it when I was a kid and reruns would play late at night, it still holds up SO well. Like if ONE person sees this and tries out the show, then I will have done my job!
it has really dry humour (obviously) but also explores some deep themes, like racist microaggressions, feeling disconnected from your parents, recognising signs of alcoholism, sexuality, death - I feel like in the late 90s and early 2000s shows for teenagers weren't as patronising and that's why they still hold up into people's adulthoods / have that nostalgia factor, bc the themes are still really relevant
the reason it's taken me so long to upload something about it is purely that I wanted to wait until I could download the HD version that has the original soundtrack (bc it's legendary), which is lowkey pretty dumb since I knew I was going to overdub it anyway??? LMAOOO
in 2010 when the studio converted the series to DVD they replaced all of the music with generic stock stuff bc of music rights, which was completely stupid because it meant that so much of the spirit of the original was lost!
anyway there are some heroes out there who basically restored the entire series in HD a while back and added back in ALL of the original songs - think Radiohead, PJ Harvey, The Offspring, Fiona Apple, KoRn, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Eels, Garbage, The Cardigans, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden etc. etc. etc.
so yeah I felt like the two days of converting files was worth it to spread the word about this show - it will make you feel SEEN
you can watch it with the original music HERE if you're interested - mega.nz/folder...
or if that doesn't work, most of them have the original music HERE - www.wcoforever...
See ya,
Rose xoxo
