Gen X, This is Why.
BONUS - Gen X, That Was A Thing: Milli Vanilli
1990 was a wild year for the pop group Milli Vanilli. Rob and Fab, both singers and dancers, started the year by winning the Grammy for Best New Artist for their very popular album, Girl You Know It’s True. By the end of the year, they were the laughing stock of the music world, mocked on late night TV, sued by disgruntled fans (or fan, as at least one guy from Texas was really mad), and left penniless by their label. Their lip-syncing scandal is still considered one of the most discussed musical downfalls, and it has ended in tragedy for at least one of the members of the group. Join us as we take you inside the story of “the real” Milli Vanilli and discuss what really happened behind the scenes. Oh, and of course, unbridled capitalism makes an appearance.
