    Stop posting under this thread,
    it’s giving me double vision! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Oh, I guess that’s more 80s which you don’t like. Sorry.
    Maybe instead of the excessive happiness of the 80s, you
    prefer it’s 90s opposite. If so, maybe you’ll
    like these better:

    nice synopsis

    Wait a minute, the 90’s weren’t all that badd (more excessive happiness):

    Color Me Badd @ Yahoo! Video

    Then again, things never really stop, do they, they just transform

    Of course, I was just talking generalizations and being facetious. ๐Ÿ˜›
    Just teasing you little ^_^

    But (musically anyway) I don’t consider ’90,’91 to be part of the 90s
    (i.e. Color Me Badd video); it’s really the autumn/winter of the 80s,
    people wanting to hold on to that decade. When Nirvana’s
    “Smells Like Teen Spirit” became popular in early 92, it was a nail
    in the coffin to the overall upbeat 80s style and the grunge/depressing/
    “I want to kill myself” style took over. It was like the
    pendulum swung the other way . . . almost like a yin-yang pulsation.
    That’s sort of what I was humorously joking about. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    All silliness ^_^

    But that goes back to my post about “The Point of Life”.

    Don’t take life too seriously. You’ll never get out alive. ^_^

    ok, ok Color Me Badd were heavily influenced by the 80’s…just look at their hair-dos.

    But, I would say that even though rock turned into grunge and hip hop into gangsta glam, that undercurrent was still there in the 80’s (iron maiden, judas priest, metallica, slayer. megadeth etc.)

    It just depends on where you look. Pop and dance music has a lot of inherent happiness (amidst everything else)…

    Distraction and time management are the key issues for many people.

    Qigong practice is negatively affected when people are spending time on digital gadgets instead of practicing, and/or sleep deprived because of technology over use.

    Likely also that many people are less used to doing activities with long term benefits as opposed to short term benefits, similar to the effects of television. Less people are likely to take up a practice that will yield rewards in a few years as opposed to months, weeks or instant benefits.

    I know this is sooo off topic, but did anyone ever notice that of the four guys in the 90’s group Color Me Badd, they look like george michael, Kenny G, Vanilla Ice and some unknown rastafarian dude???
