We wonder why young folks today, both young millennials and gen z, look back on the 90's with such intrigue and romanticization.  Not only did we have an identity, it was a strong and unapologetic one.  Once a young person asked me what we were so pissed off about in the 90's... While we're on the subject, let me clear up a few things for you young folks about 90's rock...

What came first, the chicken or the egg? Only two right answers: 1. I don't care. 2. It doesn't f'n matter. A common pop culture, societal playful riddle.  Really, a cyclical paradox of epic pointlessness.  First off, in all of my infinite scientific naivety, I'm certain someone much smarter than me could offer up a valid answer involving some sort of evolutionary lineage back to the dinosaurs, and likely some human meddling down the line.  But, that's not the point.  Conceptually, I think we all know what it's getting at, and that is the part that is utterly, ridiculously of no purpose.   The same answer as the body/mind duality debate, the final emblem of Descartes masterful logistical equation, the same general response as to is there a god.  It's all basically the same question, and they all have the same appropriate responses, stated clearly above.
