It’s a shame she’s become some trad wife devout Christian now and is apparently MAGA adjacent if not MAGA herself. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/fans-outraged-over-gwen-stefani-235134972.html
90s Music
From Grunge to Gangsta Rap and everything in between! Post a song and let's talk about it!
Rules
- All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
- Be constructive and don't gatekeep. Music is highly subjective, and people have different tastes.
- If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL rather than a specific Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write YT links to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
- Put the link to the song in the URL field and not the post body.
- Submissions must be from the 90s (1990 - 1999) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1999 but released in 2000, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 90s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.
Posting Guidelines / Suggestions
- The preferred title format is
Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
- If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.
If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

Super sad. As someone of mixed euro-south asian background (although I identify more with the euro side of my background), I had a mad crush for Gwen Stefani in the 90s/2000s. She had an Indian boyfriend and wore the bindi in her video clips (as a hot blonde).
And their music from the time is really fucking good. Tragic Kingdom and to a lesser extent Return Of Saturn have only gotten better with age. Stefani's early solo stuff is solid too, not even close to Tragic Kingdom, but that's a big mountain to cross.
EDIT: Watched the Twitter video with Stefani, it looks like a parody. I have no issue with Lent or religiosity, but American-style Christianity is clearly fake. I say this as an atheist, but one that has read the Bible multiple times, both independently and as part of college courses.
Bu that's not it. The video/music in "Sunday Morning" is fun and full of optimist. You have the upbeat ska-rock, the 90s style slapstick video direction.
And then you watch the Twitter video with Stefani shilling "the incredible 40 day [religious app] challenge" and immediately what comes to mind is "Fuck this!!!!"
90s Gwen Stefani 🥵
