Thank you. I can still hear Waterfalls in my head, even now. TLC had a much bigger impact on me than I would have thought. Which of their songs do you karaoke jam to? No Scrubs would be hilarious.
I was obsessed with TLC and that song. My sister and our friend would perform this song for our parents. They made me be Left Eye because I talked really fast and could rap her part at the end. It must've been quite a spectacle watching me rap as a dorky 13 year old white girl. Ahh, those were the days.
Someone else who remembers! I can actually picture you as Left Eye for some reason. Rap was all we had on MTV for a while, so it’s completely understandable.
While the seventies celebrated hedonism, the message of the nineties was primarily about safe sex. We all remember with Left Eye's frequent use of monicle contraceptives. It's still about hedonism, it's just responsible hedonism now!
This of course gave away to the current era of consent: enjoyment and contraception isn't the primary question anymore. It's about permission.
Great song, great analysis of the message. The 90s and TLC were special. Perfect jam for karaoke too.

Now analyze scrubs from the perspective of the 2020s gender discourse
I’ll do it if you become a Founding Member.
I remember as a teenager noticing this implication (if not outright denotation) and being very offended by it; now I appreciate the sentiment
