Remember the Time: Nine Five Plus Four Pennies "Flashback to 1999"

Over on Metafilter someone posted a ten-minute time machine to 1999. Sure, there's pop culture ephemera like wonky first person shooters, The West Wing and lots of Julia Roberts movies - but what struck me was how music videos are the backbone of how we (or at least this guy) still see the end of the millennium.

In short: 1999 was people in white clothes and Shania Twain, Or, #LouBega.

Lucha Libre these guys aren't. The EDM king (who actually looks a bit buffer than I remember) has some weird vibes going in his latest video. Think "Mexico's Best Dance Crew" meets a bizarro Miss Mexico Unibrow Pageant as a starting point to gauge your opinion. And, of course, there are Beats headphones.
