This is the Crushed Monocle Podcast: Episode 25 – The Ballad of 1998! It might be hard to believe but this is the 25th episode of the Crushed Monocle Podcast! To celebrate 25 episodes, Jon and Coop are taking a look at 1998. Exactly 25 years ago! After the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (see Episode 2) changed the way America listened to music, the industry was on a road to recovery. But with the growing pains behind it (see Episode 12) what exactly constitutes as business as usual? The answer was categorizing with purpose! Hip-Hop became Pop, Pop became an actual genre, and Rock was all but irrelevant. However, that wasn’t the whole story. Out from the ashes of questionable record deals and buried sophomore albums came a new genre. Born of angst, discord, baggy jeans, and chunky riffs was the rise of Nu-Metal. Ugh. Thankfully all wasn’t lost In fact, Jon and Coop realize a lot of the stuff they hated in 1998 has actually held up pretty well. As they celebrate 25 episodes into the podcast (and still not mastering the art of introductions), Jon and Coop discuss a wide variety of topics such as: * Were you team Monica or team Brandy? * How was “Flagpole Sitta” a hit but not Head Trip In Every Key? * Charlize Theron was worth running your battery down for. * TRL proved pop culture belonged to teenage girls and for good reason. * The Coca-Cola Card was VIP for 15-year-olds. * Was it really fair to call the Deftones, Nu-Metal? * Just when you thought Ska couldn’t get any worse, it gave birth to the Big Band revival. Most importantly, Jon and Coop realize that since Viagra became a thing and “Too Close” from Next was the biggest hit, 1998 was officially the year of the awkward boner! Do these topics interest you? Well, you’ve stuck it out with the show for 25 episodes, so that has to count for something! Please don’t forget to subscribe, like,
