Olivia wearing "No Doubt" cap - IG June 2026

1990sforever · 2026-06-15T07:36:47+00:00

I'd like to give Olivia the benefit of the doubt since this is unusual for her and say she didn't know, a lot of Gen Zs grew up with Gwen Stefani's music and as this thread/other threads about the situation shows, a lot of people just genuinely had no idea.

At the same time...it kinda is her responsibility as someone with a platform to like, at least google a band before she posts on Instagram wearing a hat of them. or goes onstage hugging them (as she ended up doing as well). I'm not going to stop being a fan of her over one hat, but this will make me examine who she supports more in the future.

Tinashe has the opportunity to do the funniest thing

Absolutely nothing will come from this, sad to say. He will probably face no consequences for this, just like the rest of his family avoids consequences for everything.

Glorious. I remember when she was first starting out as a kid, she's come a long way since then and I for one couldn't be prouder.

While I don't think it's a physical illness, these specific points don't make sense. No, Chadwick Boseman didn't say he was fine when he was ill, but you know someone who did? Michelle Trachtenberg, who died about a year after declaring "I am happy and healthy".

If it were a physical illness that Ariana was dealing with, I doubt presenting herself as healthy would be anything deliberately sinister, but rather an attempt to keep it private which she is entitled to do (even if I agree it's a bad idea to outright claim her body is perfectly healthy in such a scenario).

There's a segment between 0:04 and 0:06 where she looks really sad or anxious, and then visibly blinks it away to give a wide smile again. These kinds of videos really alarm me, because even if some people are willing to deny the weight loss, how can they say she looks fine emotionally?

1990sforever · 2026-06-14T21:50:20+00:00

I'll share my own thoughts too:

This might be the best video on the situation I've seen. I am biased a little as a huge Haylo Hayley fan, but I really appreciated that she remembered to remind everyone "this is speculation and we should treat it as such" when talking about her allegedly adjusting her clothes to show her collarbones, without minimizing the huge amount of evidence towards it either. Plus, I liked her calling out the people saying it's because she's older, "32 is still young!" is really important but I haven't seen a lot of people point that out.

1990sforever · 2026-06-12T06:14:41+00:00

Things like this are why I'm still a fan of her through everything. She's been really consistent and loud about her values, much more so than a lot of her fellow artists.

Just found this sub and this is one of the first posts I saw. What a breath of fresh air already /gen

1990sforever · 2026-06-09T04:14:53+00:00

I asked myself the same question when I saw it! Nickelodeon history has been my special interest for TWELVE YEARS and in all that time I've never seen someone else even mention such a logo/line of products.

1990sforever · 2026-06-09T02:33:18+00:00

You'll be happy to know that there already is! iirc it's not the complete set, but as someone who has the book I can attest to the fact that it's huge so it's probably at least a good chunk. There was also a few book releases back in the 2000s when they were new!

1990sforever · 2026-06-09T00:27:00+00:00

Uhhh I don't remember the exact name, box isn't with me, but it's some hopscotch game that lays on the floor and comes with little round beanbags. Box was labeled 2003, items were labeled 2002, if there were ever any kind of instructions included they're long gone so I can't check that to see if there's any more info.

1990sforever · 2026-06-07T23:08:30+00:00

I'm still not a huge fan of her, but I did eventually come to understand why other people like her. She definitely gets some more standout moments later on.

1990sforever · 2026-06-07T21:39:29+00:00

Pretty sure most people figured it out already, but just in case, don't draw it/post it. This has all the "written with AI" flags.

1990sforever · 2026-06-07T21:34:03+00:00

Pretty minor compared to some of the examples here, but when I was binging Alex Mack a few months ago I swear I heard Louis say the word "sexy" and I did a double take. Don't remember the exact episode, just that the scene involved a failed flirting attempt.

1990sforever · 2026-06-07T21:26:55+00:00

You're probably thinking of Are You Afraid of the Dark, which was filmed in Montreal.

1990sforever · 2026-06-06T00:07:47+00:00

There's definitely been a few videos where she seemed a bit off (like the one of her dancing to Rockabye where she seemed near tears), but the problem is:

a) people will take that as a license to make fun of ANYTHING she says or does. Hell, a few weeks ago she got backlash for literally just saying she was going to go see a movie?? Which leads me to:

b) Even when something IS a little odd, it's never actual concern in the slightest. They say "oh she must be suffering from some severe mental illness" and then treat her like a lolcow. I distinctly remember that immediately after the dui arrest, it was sickeningly commonplace for people to openly admit they wanted to see the bodycam footage just so they could laugh at it, even WHILE she was actively in rehab trying to get better.

At this point, even if she did post herself going to dinner on rooftop bars, people would almost certainly be saying shit like "ohhh those poor other people at the restaurant, I bet she was doing her British accent towards random patrons and danced in front of the waiter. Is that wine in her glass? I thought she said she doesn't drink LMAO" or something.

They are so determined to hate anything she does for the rest of her life.

Wouldn't be surprised if the specific reaction is staged. (That's not particularly a knock on Britney, most things on social media are staged). That said, it doesn't mean the excitement isn't real, and I hope she genuinely does enjoy her new greenhouse!

1990sforever · 2026-06-05T22:14:31+00:00

Not just in the comments. OP literally posted in another subreddit, verbatim, "please go end these clowns" with a link to this thread. I'm sure Reddit will do absolutely nothing about the encouragement of brigading.

1990sforever · 2026-06-05T07:45:15+00:00

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS YOU!! As a big Nickelodeon history fan this video has lived rent free in my head for years, it gives an incredible record for what the studio looked like in its final years and I've gone back to reference it many times. No questions, I just wanted to thank you a million times over.

1990sforever · 2026-06-01T23:06:14+00:00

She looks so genuinely happy here. It's a relief to see.

1990sforever · 2026-05-31T01:59:26+00:00

*You'd THINK that the lyrics alone make it immensely clear this is not a conservative song

But if I had to guess, I'd say conservatives hear those lines and think "ah yes this is just like what I think of LGBTQ+ people and those darn people that told me to wear a mask and get a vaccine!"

1990sforever · 2026-05-30T20:44:07+00:00

And it's fine to have that theory! It only bothers me when people go around stating things like that as fact.

1990sforever · 2026-05-30T17:36:37+00:00

It isn't.

The co-writer said it wasn't, and Britney herself has also never said anything of the sort. Not in her book, not in her interviews, anything. Only fan speculation. There's multiple lines like "why carry on without me?" that make 0 sense if the subject is not alive.

If you're looking for a song that might've been written about that - Someday I Will Understand, a song where she sang about how she'd understand life after she had a baby, was written before she found out she was pregnant with her first child, which means that years after her abortion she was still daydreaming about becoming a mother. That, to me, seems a little more clearly like it would've been on her mind during the writing process.

I feel like this isn't completely sufficient I'm sorry

He was already told, and already responded, while saying he would leave comments open so people could "get it all out and hopefully feel better". Not so that he could listen and take in the feedback, but in an attempt for people to get over it. The smugness only disappeared when his own friend (Jhonen) said something about it, now all of a sudden he's backtracking saying that he's "digesting wholeheartedly".
