Date: July 19th, 2025 12:51 PM Author: buff ape piazza Most rock music is Loser- or Scumbag-coded. Making explicitly Jock-coded rock was a brilliant innovation imho. Having it be slightly tongue-in-cheek (“The News”) was necessary for the Losers who Gatekeep. Like whoever tapped Huey for Back to the Future was probably a Loser who wished he were a chill-bro Jock.

Date: July 19th, 2025 12:57 PM Author: Crawly alpha newt yeah it's pretty shrewd. Losers/Scum have like 8,000k bands to choose from. Preps can kind of just nod along to Taylor Swift or Dave Matthews or whatever. It's a much Shorter list. Huey was shrewd to capitalize on it.

Hootie did this in the 90s (remember that video with all the SportsCenter stuff) and I’m convinced that was what caused their huge popularity. |
