A little help--

[roxy]

My brilliant friends--what would teen Caucasian boys have been listening to in the late 90s-early 2000s? They probably weren't listening to the same stuff I was--by the way, Big Pun the greatest rapper ever was, no argument. I ask about music because I need it for my story, where I will pretend to know what teen boys back in the day were thinking about. Wish me luck! If I come up with a decent outline in the next two days I'm signing up for the SpN BB. (waits for the cheering-*cricket, cricket*)

Well, my knowledge comes from my brothers. Colin listened to stuff like the Smashing Pumpkins, Björk, The Cardigans, Radiohead, uh, The Prodigy, Manson, Sneaker Pimps, Garbage, PJ Harvey, Nine Inch Nails, and Filter. Jeremy, on the other hand, loved the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden and then Audioslave, Godsmack, Stereophonics, Belle and Sebastian, Lenny Kravitz, REM, Queens of the Stone Age, and Sheryl Crow. Keep in mind, though, that both Nirvana and Hole were still quite popular, even considered old school by like 1999.

Wow! I have *no* idea who most of those folks are, lol!! But a million thanks, hunny-bunny. I guess I better do some research, oy! *GGG*

Well, suffice it to say that my brother Jeremy's taste runs more towards mainstream acts, while Colin in high school was the weird cross-dressing goth kid, so his favorites are always, uh, correspondingly weird.

If that helps. :)

Yeah, I thought I'd use the music to kind of type the characters. Not that it's going to be a huge part of the fic, but I thought I'd toss in some music kind of like the movie did...maybe. *G* Or maybe use it as a soundtrack to write to.
