Look, I’m sure the members of Stifler’s Mom: The Ultimate 90′s Experience are perfectly decent people and their only goal is to remind us of those halcyon days known as the 1990s, back when Discmans were all the rage and it was slightly more acceptable to misspell “Lauryn Hill” with “Lauren Hill,” but their band trailer…might be the best thing ever. The props! The unironic covers! The wide shots of the crowd doing the Gwyneth Paltrow!
But the best part, as music writer Jessica Suarez points out, is the quote from a club owner that reads, “I guess the ’90s are officially back!!!” What does that even mean?!? Does club owner Ryan think we’ve gone back in time to 1993, ’cause if so, I want to buy some stock in the Gin Blossoms. One more question: Stifler’s Mom. OK, that’s actually a statement, but really, Stifler’s Mom? Stifler’s Mom. Doesn’t that just put the apple in the pie.

Not to be the turd in the punch bowl…but didn’t that movie come out in, like, 1999? And I hate arbitrary end points as much as the next guy, but American Pie doesn’t seem so…nineties-y. When I think nineties, I think only of Tommy Davidson’s HBO stand up special. Don’t ask..
That is a very specific 1990s landmark.
At least they’re not named Stifler’s Mom Reunion?
My favorite part of the song Hey Jealousy has always been the horn section.
Also, I have always found it interesting that most of the people who were “really into” 80′s cover bands and 80′s themed parties/clubs were people who were not actually old enough to remember the 80′s
It makes me wonder if the people who will really be into this band, and similar things will be people who were also too young to actually remember when these things were popular.
