WHOO-OOO-OOO-OOO-AT .... was I thinking?
Here's an ichat transcript:
I just had the biggest "what was I thinking" moment of my life. Usually I embrace my guilty pleasures or relics from past, but this made my spine shatter.
I'm trying to figure out why I was so obsessed with these dudes from age 12-15.
Oh wait.
They were hot.
And I had really low self-esteem. (Like 90% of 12-15 year old girls)
Which gets me to thinking that the whole teen idol market caters to this hormonally-charged and miserable demographic with little to no standards (due to low self esteem) which record execs must prey on.
And 20 years later it seems it dictates the whole record industry.
Make the world a better place. Talk to your daughters about Joan Jett.
Me: you were right. new kids suck.
Big Bro: ha

I'm so glad I was only 7ish at the time and wasn't yet at the mental capability to be completely obsessed. I only had the trading cards, not the sheets, not the tshirts, not the giant 5 inch buttons. Just my cassette in my fisher price stereo!
I do find this reunion incredibly sad.
