Getting back some music and TV from the 90s

From the Department of Nostalgia: The band that is poured Nirvana is a bunch of feminist punks, and they’re back with a new album. Rolling Stone has a fantastic profile of L7. Not enough ‘90s nostalgia for you? BuzzFeed has your back with 45 Things People Who Weren’t Teens In The Late-’90s Will Never Understand, just in time for a new Netflix offering timed to cash in on the rage for all things pre-2000s. This time, the streaming service is hoping that Everything Sucks will do for the 1990s that which Stranger Things did for the 1980s. What we’re really looking forward to, though, is Arnold Schwarzenegger joining the full-length sequel to Kung Fury, an action comedy set in 1980s Miami. Watch the most awesome original short here (runtime: 31:02).

What ever happened to Brendan Fraser?GQ on “the stupendous rise and surprising disappearance of the once ubiquitous [1990s] movie star” who—grey stubble and all—is mounting a comeback on the small screen.

Need a little more? Go pick up a copy of Crossing Souls, which the Guardian dubs “fun Stranger Things-style nostalgia for the 80s. … Crossing Souls’ chief ambition is to evoke nostalgia, and that goal it is evident in everything it does. This Goonies-style gang works through puzzles and battles baddies while the rose-tinted popular culture references are laid on thick and fast.” Out now for PS4.
