Generation S

Dan Kemp

Remember that weird 'S' symbol that we all used to draw on our desks in high school? It was an experience shared by a group of people who all grew up in the 90's and early 2000s. We came after Generation X. We came at the tale end of Generation Y. We are Generation S, and if you have memories of growing up at the turn of the 21st century, this podcast is for you. It's a nostalgic look back, not only at popular books, movies, TV shows and the like, but also experiences that we may not have realized were shared by countless others around the world, like the feeling you had before your first school dance, or how your parents let you have cereal for dinner.

So here in the United states, every year around late November, we like to look back on so many of the good things that have come into our lives, and give thanks. And I promise you this will get mentioned multiple times during the episode, but I am honestly, truly, 100% genuinely thankful for YOU! Thank YOU for giving this podcast a listen, and if you've stuck around through the 18+ episodes that have already come out, an EXTRA BIG THANK YOU! I truly appreciate you taking the time out of your day to put me in your ears (so to speak). With so many options out there, the fact that you've given this show a chance means the absolute world to me. So thank you so much, Happy Thanksgiving, and enjoy listening to me and my buddy Lou, as we talk all about what our Thanksgivings were like, growing up in the 90s and early 2000s.

Generation S

10/19/22 • 57 min

It's the universal language. Something that transcends generations, and connects us across all borders, both literally and figuratively. And you know what? No matter when you grew up, you probably think that your generation's was the best. And there's nothing wrong with that at all. So today's episode is all about MUSIC. So kick back and give a listen to me and my buddy Ryan wax nostalgia about how music affected us at the most influential times in our lives, the 90s and early 2000s.
Also, if you're interested in hearing some more stimulating conversation, Ryan has a podcast too! You can check out 'Chaos & Conversation' here: https://chaosnconversation.buzzsprout.com

Did you prefer *NSYNC over Backstreet Boys? How about LFO, or O-Town? Or maybe you preferred something with a bit more R&B flavor, like Boyz II Men, or 98°. Any way you shake it, Boy Bands were a HUGE part of not only music, but pop culture as a whole back in the late 90s and early 2000s. So in this episode, my friend Lara and I do a deeper dive into the phenomenon that defined pop music for almost a decade (and still does, if you're a BTS fan).

Ryan is back with me this week to follow up on our FANTASTIC episode last week about how music played such an influential parts during our childhood in the 90s and early 2000s. This week, he brings a carefully curated 'Guest List' of some of the best One-Hit-Wonders of the 90s (really feels like there were a lot of them, doesn't it?)!
Also, if you want to take on Ryan in a game of SongPop, or SongPop Classic, here's how you can find him! Just search for his username 'rantingnrolling', and see if you can give him a run for his money! As I mention in this episode, he's pretty much a music encyclopedia, so good luck!

Let's be honest, if you grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, you read the Harry Potter books, or, at the very LEAST, saw a few of the movies. It was unavoidable, EVERYONE was talking about them. So today, we're going to do just that, and talk all about a series of books, films and a highly successful theme park that has played a HUGE part in shaping our generation.

Are we entering an era of Superhero fatigue? Maybe, maybe not. But you want to know a stone cold fact? NONE of this would even be discussed if it weren't for a few animated series that were on the air close to THIRTY years ago (yes, I checked, the 90s was indeed that far back).
So today on the podcast, Lou and I are talking about our favorite Superhero Cartoons of the 90s. Enjoy!
