Wmet was the best Rock station in Chicago for a few years. i remember one of thier things was playing whole Lp sides at a certain time of the day. they played deeper cut s sometimes. now Classic rock stations sound like they have the same ten songs ad nausem.

Is it strange that over the course of time, older footage/images seem more current than those from later? For example, looking at footage from late 90s/early 2000s seems oddly dated to me, even though it was recently. Then I look at these videos from my childhood(80s, even late 70s), and it seems less dated, though more nostalgic. I know this sounds weird, just wondering if anyone else experiences the same.
@FuzzyMemoriesTV3 жыл бұрын
Quality of home videotape and VCRs in the 90s and beyond was pretty bad. Usually those recordings look terrible compared to 70s or early 80s recordings.

Finally somebody that has my same feelin' and it's not only about TV, I feel the same with a lot of pop culture. For example 'Jumanji' (one of few post '93 movies that I like) seems more dated than 'Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade'. Or another example: the IV generation Camaro seems more dated than the III gen Camaro! I don't know why but '70s and '80s, even if they are clearly from a distant past, they are so fresh, most of the things since 1991 seem so dated, old, blank and bleak... I'm studyin' the last 50 years to discover why...

I think it’s because the ‘90s haven’t hit a retro phase yet. At one time the ‘80s seemed really cheesy and outdated too, but over the last 15 years or so the ‘80s look has become cool again and younger people are starting the adopt it for the first time. The ‘90s might have a resurgence some day or they may not, we won’t know about that bridge until we cross it. And, like The Museum said, the quality of the recordings definitely play a roll.

Lorelei is "the girl with the remarkable mouth" from the classic LOOP commercials. WMET was their competitor back then. I remember seeing this during my sophomore year of high school, and there was a media column that mentioned this girl's name. Best I can remember is it was Kristin or something like that.
