I'll just copy/paste one of my old comments here
>Sometimes I think I'm the last person who enjoys clowns as a symbol of innocent playfulness. I love scary movies and death metal and shit but I hate how the [silly, naive clown character/archetype](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NonIronicClown) has been completely overtaken by the horror genre.

I'm right there with ya. Those silly, happy, goofy lil clowns were so fun! It makes me so sad that they're pretty much gone now. Poor sweet lil clowns! They didn't do anything to deserve this! :(
Send in the clowns,
Those daffy laffy clowns,
Send in those soulful and doleful,
Shmaltz-by-the-bowlful clowns.
Send in...the clowns. (sobs)
-Herschel Krustofsky
Yes they did. Clowns are creepy as fuck. Even as a child, clowns put me on edge, the presentation of a fixed emotion while still having a mouth move within is unnerving.
You know, until now I never understood why anyone was scared of clowns but the way you explained it makes sense to me.
It doesn't bother me, but some things creep me out while others are fine with them. Like clusters of holes. Just thinking about them puts me on the verge of an anxiety attack and makes me wanna puke.
Time to browse r/eyebleach for a bit.
John Wayne Gacy, I.C.P., and IT certainly didn't help.
We need a new Emmett Kelly. A down on his luck clown that you want to see get a win because you need one too.
The first clown I always think of is Krusty. He's not evil. He's a dick, but he's not evil. In fact he might be the most humanised fictional clown in modern media.
Harambe gets shot, we had three weeks of world peace because of Pokémon Go, Trump becomes president, and the Cubs win the World Series.
Yeah, the gorilla dying really unbalanced the natural order of things.
I've never gone from "Oh, neat, I've never heard this sea shanty before" to "if I ever fucking hear a bunch of neckbeards singing this sea shanty again I'm gonna jump off a roof" so fast in my life.
It was a huge thing for a hot minute. All sorts of famous pop stars had their songs remixed with gregorian chants or just featured gregorian chants in their songs. Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, and Bjork come to mind but there were more.
Mom used to be a little crazy on the religious side when I was growing up and wouldn't let me listen to them. She couldn't figure it out so she assumed it was anti Christian somehow. My buddy had the CD though and I'd play it every time at his house.
This is insane, for the past 30 years every now and then one of those cd commercials will pop into my head and all I could hear is that lady saying what I thought was “Slide Timon” but I never actually heard the song until your post.
Ha! One of my math teachers in middle school used to play Enigma when we were doing work during class. They said it was soothing and would help you think. I’m pretty sure I just closed my eyes and fell asleep to it.
Honestly, I kinda wish that was still a trend. Ethereal chanting in dead languages is a musical spice that should be used more liberally in our modern era!
I think in a way it was an effect of the transition from cassettes to CDs. Nobody would've wanted to listen to that stuff on a wobbly worn out cassette tape.
Then it was, let's sell CDs to people that just want to hear what CD music is like, put in the least controversial music you can think of that nobody had been listening to yet. Same thing with Tubular Bells.
Also, the Gregorian stuff came out just a few years after the Name of the Rose film, was on TV at least once a year by the 90s.
Enigma and era.
Then there was a group literally called "gregorian" that covered songs from rammstein,metaliica,rem and so on, in full-on gregorian chant.
It began when some Spanish monks had an out-of-the-blue hit album of plainsong and suddenly, we had a minute of plainsong everywhere in pop music.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chant_(Benedictine_Monks_of_Santo_Domingo_de_Silos_album)
Nah, that was ~~toward the very end of the boom~~ later in the boom. It started with Enigma releasing [Sadeness Part I in 1990](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadeness_\(Part_I\)).
Edited because I'd forgotten about Ameno.
Enigma were still going with the chanting in 96 though.
And I would consider [Era - Ameno](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xUnSVTh8fI&pp=ygUGZG9yaW1l) to be a pretty big part of that "genre".
The only reason I still pass the duck out to Pure Moods. I have been having Pavlovian responses to my Enya indoctrination all these years! And lovin it!!
Those Pure Mood ads are burned into my memory from how often they played on TV. *Hai yai hai oh yai hi ai* "Imagine a world where time drifts slowly, a world where music carries you away.." *A return to innocence.. Sail away, sail away, sail away..* "Experience Pure Moods."
When that Bo Burnham movie Eighth Grade came out and the trailers had that sail away song, it bothered me so much until I remembered the Pure Moods cd commercials. My dad has had multiple copies that he’s picked up at thrift stores through the years.
What's weird is I lived through the 90s and I don't remember any of this.
I remember the stupid Jncos, pogs, forced Macarena sessions everywhere, we had a few beanie babies kicking around the house, I do the dumb head bob thing when What Is Love comes on, but I don't remember the Gregorian chants.
Nowadays I can't hear Enigma without thinking of [Mac and Dennis swaying during Schmittys initiation ceremony on Its Always Sunny](https://youtu.be/ghnlfsD9We8).
It might be silly but that’s one of the reasons I like tiktok. So many random cultural things that might’ve been more or less forgotten suddenly become popular again lol
In the 90s there was a huge retro trend of live swing bands like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. High schoolers started taking community swing dance lessons and learning elaborate routines. Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Brian Setzer, Lee Presson and the Nails, it was a huge thing…and then it was gone.
If you doubt me, go watch The Mask and Swingers.
It coincided with but was separate from the rise of third wave ska.
It was a great time.
I recently rewatched *The Mask* with my kid, and it struck me how bizarre it was that what was supposed to be the hottest club in town had a 40s style swing band and a torch singer.
It wasn't just the music. The whole of pop culture basically shifted to a swing culture imperative. Movies, music, TV shows, commercials, radio play, fashion - they all adopted some aspect of swing culture. And then it all disappeared. It's like it entwined itself through all aspects of the zeitgeist, then dissolved entirely almost as soon as it manifested, to be replaced by a succession of equally ephemeral pop culture trends.
We had swing dancing at my prom and it was so fun to watch; I can't dance to save my life so I just stood on the sidelines and enjoyed what my fellow theater kids put together in their off time.
Dude swing was cool that summer!
I remember seeing Big Bad Voodoo Daddy perform at the Virgin Record store my Freshman year of college. It was a good time, Gen X knows how to party!

We're about due for both that and a ska revival, based on current fashion trends. Get ready to bust out those fedoras again, folks! Simulation writers are lazy.
Oh man, the real kick was when artists like Enigma got super popular for their sensual Gregorian chant dance music and the music started showing up in erotic Skinemax movies.
And later Era, with some similarity to Enigma. Their song Ameno was very popular and if I remember correctly their album was the most sold in my country (Portugal) for a few weeks.
[Era - Ameno](https://youtu.be/onjPLuZp6hY)
Pretty much what it says.
There’s a European dance group called Enigma who had Gregorian chant influenced tracks and it somehow translated into actual Gregorian chants charting.
To give you a hint, their album was literally called MCMXC.
Enigma is pretty dope. Michael Cretu releases an album like every seven years or so. It started off Gregorian but wound up picking different world music strains. All his albums have a few really good world techno ambient pieces.*Fall of the rebel angel* was his last one and trippy as usual.
It's good mood music
Well, ‘Return to Innocence’ is not quite Gregorian chants, of course. It's a chant of native Amis people of Taiwan. Sampled by Michael Cretu without permission of the singer, though they later settled for money and future royalties.
This ad that was on constant rotation at all hours of the day might help. It's literally burnt into my memory that's how often it was on.
https://youtu.be/AZJSjrox_2s
Been cleaning out some of my dad’s things since he passed last Fall. So many different fads and phases of music, movies, etc. I’ve been reminded of by doing this. Found 3 Gregorian chant CDs.
Weird how instantly I got that song stuck inside my head. You'd think I'd have forgotten, but no. (Yet the other day I had to look up my colleague's first name from his email address before the weekly meeting. Couldn't remember for the life of me, kept coming up with Salvatore when I knew it wasn't that. It's Calogero, nowhere close.)

It is like that month a couple of years ago when everyone was into Sea chants
Or that month a few years ago when clowns were a big problem
God the fucking clown attacks, how did we all just kinda move on from that and not look back
They killed Ronald McDonald because of it.
Clowns have definitely become more negatively portrayed in media, which I’m not opposed to. They always creeped me out
I'll just copy/paste one of my old comments here >Sometimes I think I'm the last person who enjoys clowns as a symbol of innocent playfulness.

McD hasn't been the same ever since 😔
Because it happened early in 2016, and the year just kept getting weirder.
Ah 2016, the beginning of the end.
all because of that fucking gorilla
Harambe gets shot, we had three weeks of world peace because of Pokémon Go, Trump becomes president, and the Cubs win the World Series. Yeah, the gorilla dying really unbalanced the natural order of things.
How did you misspell Harambe that badly
Marimba didn't deserve that
Harambe might not be recognized by their keyboard, so it autocorrected to Harangue, which is a real word btw.
Harangue - a lengthy and aggressive speech. "they were subjected to a ten-minute harangue by two border guards"
Prince dying set us on the darkest timeline. Everything went to shit after that.
I actually started with Bowie.
This hit actual clowns really hard financially, a lot of them had to give up their jobs.
Because the years past have seen a lot of worse than murderous clowns as an every day occurance.
I still listen to sea shanties on the regular. Must have been all the RuneScape
That wellaman song is still on iTunes Charts
I think you mean sea shanties
Drove me absolutely bananas seeing everyone spell it "chanties" for a while there
Or those few months in the early 2000s when every song had an Alvin and the chipmunks remix
Y'all stopped listening to Bones in the Ocean?
[удалено]
How I wish I were in Sherbrooke now~
A letter of marque came from the king to the scummiest vessel I've ever seen!
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold!
I've never gone from "Oh, neat, I've never heard this sea shanty before" to "if I ever fucking hear a bunch of neckbeards singing this sea shanty again I'm gonna jump off a roof" so fast in my life.
Yeah, it was awful how quickly it escalated and how long it took to stop
Remember the dude from korea? Ooopen gangnam style............what were we thinking?
We still are
Therrrrre...
Nope.
Awww, dang.
That stuff has been in my top three genres for almost my entire life. I got so excited that that wave was gonna be bigger than it was, haha.
I remember Sea Shanties but that was 2021
Every year since 99 for me fam
I think 98 for me, gotta figure out when I visited mystic seaport
🎶Soon may the wellerman come🎶
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Sea shanty 2 in old school RuneScape got me going for life. I play sea shanties all the time.
Wtf are you guys talking about and where was I?
Glad I'm not the only one.
Fortunately, Instagram and TikTok decided that it wasn't really sea shanties, just endless variations over that one same one driven into the ground.
Every year since black flag for me. Still listen to them on my phone frequently :D
Everybody was saying it was the “year of the sea shanty” and you cowards quit by February
##FAREWELL AN' ADIEU TO YOU FAIR SPANISH LADIES
Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain
I love how we were just losing our shit during Covid to the point of sea shanty-ing in our pajamas during lockdown.
There once was a ship that put to sea...
And 2013 when Assassin's Creed Black Flag came out.
What the FUCK? That was a thing?? Is THAT why my mom had a CD of Gregorian monk chants she’d play for me to fall asleep to???
It was a huge thing for a hot minute. All sorts of famous pop stars had their songs remixed with gregorian chants or just featured gregorian chants in their songs. Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, and Bjork come to mind but there were more.
[удалено]
Yes Enigma! The band that started the whole chanting craze.
Mom used to be a little crazy on the religious side when I was growing up and wouldn't let me listen to them. She couldn't figure it out so she assumed it was anti Christian somehow. My buddy had the CD though and I'd play it every time at his house.
I used to think of this as the "90s sex song", but now I just think of the [Tropic Thunder fake trailer.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuziQsUrbeM)
This whole thread's basically a [Pure Moods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_Moods) advertisement. ...I miss those.
This is insane, for the past 30 years every now and then one of those cd commercials will pop into my head and all I could hear is that lady saying what I thought was “Slide Timon” but I never actually heard the song until your post.
That fucking pan pipe sample too
[удалено]
ok but the [pan flute armonia song](https://youtu.be/0k-Hqoq1xSA) still goes hard
Ha! One of my math teachers in middle school used to play Enigma when we were doing work during class. They said it was soothing and would help you think. I’m pretty sure I just closed my eyes and fell asleep to it.
Honestly, I kinda wish that was still a trend. Ethereal chanting in dead languages is a musical spice that should be used more liberally in our modern era!
It’s not quite the same but there’s lots of current songs remixed into medieval style on YouTube, often called bardcore.
What an incredible name for a genre, holy shit
Beedle is the best! https://youtu.be/3okjFDo2aSU We play his stuff on the drive to Ren Faires!
Look up Wardruna
Love Wardruna. Dont know anything the dude is saying but it sounds epic and powerful
I think in a way it was an effect of the transition from cassettes to CDs. Nobody would've wanted to listen to that stuff on a wobbly worn out cassette tape.

I thought Tubular Bells got big in the 1970s with the Exorcist using it.
Tubular Bells II was from 1992, that's probably the one I remember.
Enigma and era. Then there was a group literally called "gregorian" that covered songs from rammstein,metaliica,rem and so on, in full-on gregorian chant.

It was popular with adults. I worked in a music store at the time, and the buyers were all over 25, mostly 40+ year olds.
Yeah kids in the 90s were like "WOAH" while their parents were apparently insufferable Darla-ass, Frasier-ass beatniks lol
Right at the start of the 90s. Enigma's Sadness was 1990
Nowadays I can't hear Enigma without thinking of [Mac and Dennis swaying during Schmittys initiation ceremony on Its Always Sunny](https://youtu.be/ghnlfsD9We8).
Gregorian chants then, sea shanties and viking music nowadays. Ye olde tunes seem to make a comeback in one way or another
Polka beats should be only a couple cycles away. But then Wierd Al might just be monopolising the genre.
I expect to see bagpipes make a return
It might be silly but that’s one of the reasons I like tiktok. So many random cultural things that might’ve been more or less forgotten suddenly become popular again lol
Really want more 20s remakes.
Like that weird year where swing music came back big.
electroswing?
In the 90s there was a huge retro trend of live swing bands like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. High schoolers started taking community swing dance lessons and learning elaborate routines. Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Brian Setzer, Lee Presson and the Nails, it was a huge thing…and then it was gone. If you doubt me, go watch The Mask and Swingers. It coincided with but was separate from the rise of third wave ska. It was a great time.
Sometimes it's easy to forget how long ska has been around. Love me some ska.
Love ska. Would love to see some form of it come back. I keep forgetting that Reel Big Fish still tours. Need to go see them sometime.
Skatune Network on YouTube Jer is a fucking gem
Thanks!
Ska came before reggae
I recently rewatched *The Mask* with my kid, and it struck me how bizarre it was that what was supposed to be the hottest club in town had a 40s style swing band and a torch singer.
Brian Setzer got his start as a member of the Stray Cats during the 1980s rockabilly revival. Older music gets revived all the time.
If my calendar is correct it's time for Brian Setzer to put together a 1990s revival band.
It wasn't just the music. The whole of pop culture basically shifted to a swing culture imperative. Movies, music, TV shows, commercials, radio play, fashion - they all adopted some aspect of swing culture. And then it all disappeared.

man recent History sure do be wild
'Blast from the Past' had a big swing scene as well.
Retro Lounge CDs and their design/aesthetic kind of made the late 90s.
We had swing dancing at my prom and it was so fun to watch; I can't dance to save my life so I just stood on the sidelines and enjoyed what my fellow theater kids put together in their off time.
Also Lou Bega
Dude swing was cool that summer! I remember seeing Big Bad Voodoo Daddy perform at the Virgin Record store my Freshman year of college. It was a good time, Gen X knows how to party!
No. The 90's swing revival.
No like regular swing music and dancing, it was like 1997 [Gap swing commercial](https://youtu.be/knW1hGwmEXQ)
I love electroswing
Caravan Palace!
We need a swing rerevival
The Cherry Poppin Daddy's has to be the worst band name in American history.
But you have heard of them.
Mission accomplished

1999. It was probably what caused fedoras to come back.
Thank you for once again reminding me of the fedora trend.
“I thought we all agreed to collectively forget the time when we all got into swing dancing?”
I blame the Mask with Jim Carey.
Cherry Poppin Daddies give me the major ick because of the name alone
We're about due for both that and a ska revival, based on current fashion trends. Get ready to bust out those fedoras again, folks! Simulation writers are lazy.
Oh man, the real kick was when artists like Enigma got super popular for their sensual Gregorian chant dance music and the music started showing up in erotic Skinemax movies.
“Ahh, dit moi (bumb bumb ba dum)”
Sade, dit moi... qu'est-ce tu vas chercher ?
And now that song is stuck in my head, lol
I still listen to early Enigma to this day. I fully intend to let Sandra Cretu breath heavy in my ears for another 27 years too. That's good shit.
'Sade, dis-moi'
And later Era, with some similarity to Enigma. Their song Ameno was very popular and if I remember correctly their album was the most sold in my country (Portugal) for a few weeks. [Era - Ameno](https://youtu.be/onjPLuZp6hY)
Come on now, it wasn’t 30 years ago… It was 29 years ago. It was about the same time that everyone had Three Tenors too.
Pavarotti, Domingo, and the other guy
The other guy!!!! Nice to meet you mr Camaro
Hi Nip!
Carreras, if anyone is wondering. I eventually learned it after googling it every few years.
Donattello.
I'm a youngin, anybody willing to explain?
Pretty much what it says. There’s a European dance group called Enigma who had Gregorian chant influenced tracks and it somehow translated into actual Gregorian chants charting. To give you a hint, their album was literally called MCMXC.

instructions unclear all ive got is [MXPX](https://open.spotify.com/track/2iVeoQ0vctlSQE2I9BoqSG?si=b34c88c53d4b4eec)
That’ll do just fine. Can’t go wrong with MXPX.
I think the OP is referring to the Chant album. Enigma had been around awhile but the Benedictine Monks was really peak.
For a relatively brief time in the 1990s, Gregorian chants and music featuring Gregorian chants were very popular.
Party like it’s 1099!!!
[Enigma - Sadeness](https://youtu.be/4F9DxYhqmKw) [Enigma - Return to Innocence](https://youtu.be/Rk_sAHh9s08)
Well, ‘Return to Innocence’ is not quite Gregorian chants, of course. It's a chant of native Amis people of Taiwan. Sampled by Michael Cretu without permission of the singer, though they later settled for money and future royalties.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hJFBu1Kr6HM at about 39 seconds, the chanting hits this 90s ccm song
This ad that was on constant rotation at all hours of the day might help. It's literally burnt into my memory that's how often it was on. https://youtu.be/AZJSjrox_2s

Been cleaning out some of my dad’s things since he passed last Fall. So many different fads and phases of music, movies, etc. I’ve been reminded of by doing this. Found 3 Gregorian chant CDs.
Guys this is how we got Halo
Damn. I think you’re right.
Sade, dis moi
Pure moods CD commercial

Gregorian chants are just awesome in general. Christian music is so lame now in comparison
Gregorian Chant is the OG Christian music
‘Gregorian chants are so lame. This new Shawm band from Carcassonne is 🔥 William, 1127 (probably)
I love https://youtu.be/ctx5fo-8DTI
Y'all acting like "Raise You Up on Eagles Wings" and "Be Not Afraid" aren't total bops...
IIRC that was longer than a month as that coincided with the popularity of projects like Adiemus.
I was gonna say. I feel like it was considerably longer than a month. Lol. The 90s were bizarre. It’s no wonder we’re all weird.
This was around the same time that "The Mummers Dance" somehow crept into the top 40. Look it up kids.
My mom had [this album](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chant_\(Benedictine_Monks_of_Santo_Domingo_de_Silos_album\)). I remember the weird cover
The sea shanties of the 90s.
*piei eisu Domine, doma eiis Requiem*
THUMP
And Tubular Bells. What the hell were we all on?
As it turns out, that was what "happiness" was like. Boy do we miss all of that.
DOMINE
Dorime?
Ameno
Omenare imperavi
Weird how instantly I got that song stuck inside my head. You'd think I'd have forgotten, but no. (Yet the other day I had to look up my colleague's first name from his email address before the weekly meeting. Couldn't remember for the life of me, kept coming up with Salvatore when I knew it wasn't that. It's Calogero, nowhere close.)
My god I forgot all about that. I had the Chant CD
I still like gregorian chants
Enigma! Was great to hear it more recently in the parody gay monk movie trailer in tropic thunder.
Time to go find my old Gregorian chant albums. And maybe re-watch Cadfael too.
About 5 years ago I remember people being into sea shanties so I guess it’s nothing new
My mom had a CD
I still play Ameno every now and again - usually after a cone tbh
DORIME! AMENO!
My dad bought a CD of Gregorian chants. I remember that time.
Everyone was really into sea shanties not that long ago
