I present to you the 90s Band Alignment Chart.
@LadyDragonfly I feel like Bloodhound Gang should have been further south, but I assume you wanted a square graphic and not an endless scroll.
@grissallia ain't no chart long enough to contain the Bloodhound Gang
@LadyDragonfly @grissallia if it wasn't for the bloodhound gang would anyone even remember who Chasey Lane was ?

@LadyDragonfly @grissallia that raises an interesting question. "Hooray for boobies" was the compromise album title when the record company wouldn't go for "Hooray for pussy".

So if that came out today, do you think we would have gotten "Hooray for pussy" or would even "Hooray for boobies" have been deemed too risque to sell?

@metalpoetnl @LadyDragonfly @grissallia
That's what they got for going with Republic instead of something like American records, which clearly had no problems with Lords of Acid and everything on Our Little Secret including "Pussy" and "Spank My Booty"
@metalpoetnl @LadyDragonfly @grissallia I wrote to ask but she never wrote me back.
@gsuberland @LadyDragonfly @grissallia I can't believe she'd treat her biggest fans like that
@LadyDragonfly @grissallia just say it's a logarithmic scale and all is good.
@LadyDragonfly I am either happy or sad, not much in between, kinda like my bipolar diagnosis? lols.
@LadyDragonfly @grissallia imma gonna take exception with Portishead being so far away from Horny and REM not at least tending to angry.
@franksting @LadyDragonfly @grissallia absolutely agree. Portishead are the sexy sound of the 90’s
@kigelia @franksting @LadyDragonfly @grissallia yeah they were to us horny 90s teens what Air brought the early 2000s
@LadyDragonfly this explains my teen years perfectly
@LadyDragonfly haha yes. Could there be a band more not horny than rage against the machine? More like rage against getting laid.
@texanarchy @LadyDragonfly they had bigger fish to rage against. Most of my 90s music tastes were horny quadrants and it felt good to hate on fascism for a change (still does)
@LadyDragonfly you could have put the Chili Peppers anywhere on that chart really. Depending on the song/album.
@Burnt_Veggies true but this is specifically 90s era RHCP

@LadyDragonfly Blood Sugar Sex Magic was released in 1991 and I think depending on what song from that album, they could fall anywhere on that chart. Would you have Breaking the Girl listed as a happy song? How about Deep Kick from One Hot Minute released in 1995? Or were you just referring to radio hits? I don't think I would list Under the Bridge as a happy song, either. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Cool chart, though.

@LadyDragonfly @Burnt_Veggies Heaps of horndogggery on BSSM though: β€œSuck My Kiss”, β€œGive it Away”, β€œBSSM”, but super horny are β€œApache Rose Peacock”,- e.g., β€œdrive’n down the boulevard/she was soft and I was hard” and β€œSir Psycho Sexy”- e.g., β€œPopp’n β€˜er up on the black and white/unzipped and slipped β€˜Ooo that’s tight’”. Not sure anyone would get away with that song these days πŸ˜‰ I guess this all is to say you’re right- depends on the song as much as anything.
@mori @LadyDragonfly @Burnt_Veggies aeroplane leaning into kink land too
@Burnt_Veggies @ErikBB @LadyDragonfly Pleasure spiked with pain is a line burned into my brain 😏

@Burnt_Veggies @LadyDragonfly yeh they jumped all over the place but I do agree that on the overall they were happy horny. It's the vibe I listened to their music for.

Could even put them in angry/horny, come to think of it. Their sad stuff is rare in that decade

@LadyDragonfly
There's only six bands here that aren't on my phone right now...
@LadyDragonfly Radiohead is perfectly placed.
@Tweetfiction @LadyDragonfly Shouldn't Radiohead be leading the "sad" charts and probably a bit horny. They are the ones with the saddest song in the world.
@LadyDragonfly it’s good to see Catherine Wheel get a nod.
@richardinsandy I feel like I went an entire summer with Black Metallic on a constant loop on my walkman
@LadyDragonfly I still play the "Chrome" album regularly, a fine recording.
@LadyDragonfly I was totally listening to everything in the blue circle!!! 😱
@LadyDragonfly I don't see Primus but I also don't know where the hell I'd put them.
@LadyDragonfly this.... Is surprisingly accurate
@LadyDragonfly
Looks like I was firmly sarcastic but where would Ministry go?
@LadyDragonfly Nine Inch Nails is nowhere near Angry? πŸ€”
@reay @LadyDragonfly it's a bit off a toss up between angry horny and sad horny, but I think they were sad more often
@reay @LadyDragonfly
I think Sad + Horny wraps around to Angry.
@LadyDragonfly The third axis for the cube would be smart/stupid.
@LadyDragonfly Also Limp Bizkit is at max Angry and Horny, defies this chart
@LadyDragonfly And finally, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones should be at the max Angry/Happy corner.
@LadyDragonfly
It's funny 'cause it's true ... although I don't know all the bands (yet).
@LadyDragonfly Gonna make a 90s band called Cakehole and now I know exactly where I have to aim.
