This piece brought levels of nostalgia to me - first as being of a “certain age” and lucky enough to have watched MTV from their day 1 and first video and now the evolution thru all of the mediums of today! Your writing also grew back a forgotten memory and random experience of spending time with Goos at a mutual friend’s house in the summer of 1987 (following a Poison gig at Astroworld - hahaha, where else?) and hit this gal’s heart with a reminder of the love and synchronicity music brings for deeper connectivity. Really enjoyed consuming this piece! ❤️
Omg how have I never heard that story?! That's amazing hahaha. I love that Microfascination invites so much nostalgia into people's lives :) And it's so cool how our personal associations with art can unearth long-buried memories!!
omg the wave of nostalgia after clicking the Iris link and hearing the little "Pop-up Video" ditty. This was so fascinating...I'm rabbit holing right now through all these music videos!!
I loove when people do storytelling in YouTube comments.. disclosure and sincerity, stated simply. It feels pure. Like a holdover from an older internet

Yes! I was so happy when I found that Pop-up Video playlist on YouTube!

Truly! I screenshot my favorites to return to later—they always feel like a welcome antidote to AI anxiety and creative discouragement.
Goo Goo Dolls being a somewhat local band to me explains why our radio stations played them constantly and I know the words to almost every song
Oh that’s funny; yeah I even saw a YouTube comment or two from Buffalo locals who remember them back before they made it big!
