MTV "Singled Out" (90's Game Show) - Late January, 1996

[@kylec.roberts777]

I can’t believe I found this. I’m actually the guy in the final round who had to wear the dress and runway model. Such a great night and good memory. I was a sophomore in college. So long ago. Katrina actually became and still is a pretty successful music artist.

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

It looks like it was a lot of fun. Do you remember when this was filmed? Some time in 1995 I take it, I'm just curious when. I was a freshman in college in 1996.

[@kylec.roberts777]

@@Theonetruewonderfly Yeah it was actually filmed in December of 1995. Aired just a few weeks later.

[@karensandovalflacaa7858]

It was!

[@Taumpy]

It wasn't really. People who were kids or young adults will say "it was!", because they were young and carefree and clouded by nostalgia. If you're Gen Z - I'm sorry. Your generation has been burdened with a lot of angst because the internet exists and you're not allowed to forget anything, and all the good stuff from the past is readily available, looking better than it actually was. But I will give you this: Life was definitely happier when Twitter and Facebook did not exist.

[@mcat2317]

@@Taumpy that was a weak argument. It was better because today is shit. Free mind and more creative than todays influence by Social Media.

[@Taumpy]

@@mcat2317 literally every generation says “it was better because today is shit”. Don’t you remember Boomers saying this same shit in the 90s about how great the 60s were? Quite frankly I prefer having things cell phones and laparoscopic surgery to the 90s But I’m not so blinded by nostalgia that I’m being a dumbass. Half of the KZbin comments are dummies who have that particular problem.

[@winterlynn9012]

@@Taumpy its just an opinion. You sound overly hostile and angry for no reason? I don't think anyone can state as a fact that one decade is better than another. Personally, I do feel the world has gotten worse, less social and more divided in multiple ways the last 5 -10 years. That's obvious to anyone who has a brain. Sure you can download an entire album in under 30 seconds, facetime someone thousands of miles away but that's not enough to make modern day better. That's superficial shit. We're more connected digitally, yet somehow more separated. Only thing I'll give it is the medical advances we've made. Not everyone is neccesarily blinded by nostalgia either, my parents are "boomers" who grew up in the 60s an 70s and seemingly miss the 90s more than I do. And they were obviously working adults with responsibilities. Of course a lot of people have a fondness for and feel that their childhood was the best, that's normal. But in my opinion while no decade was perfect or without flaws, the 70s(and I wasn't alive for them but going off what I know) to the early to mid 00s were better and more simple in many ways when compared to today. The 90s just happened to be the last great decade. Something started changing after 9/11 and its been getting worse since. And I've heard this same sentiment from many others of varying ages. Of course all this is personal opinion and I have many reasons as to why I feel this that have nothing to do with nostalgia but I digress...you just sound overly bitchy calling ppl who don't share your sentiments, "dumbass " which just makes you sound like a jackass. Did you not expect to find people nostalgic or longing for simpler times on a 20something year old video?
