I agree with both and I’ve noticed that if you sit down and watch “Classic Videos” on VH1 Classic, you’ll see a SHITLOAD of Everclear. Deep cuts, too (i.e. every single that’s not “Santa Monica”). Wtf is that about
I definitely feel that way about a few of their songs. Wrong way being the worst of the worst.
Pretty sure every song of Everclear’s is santa monica

HAHA!!! Uggh! That band. The idea of Everclear deep cuts really is a level of Hell I didn’t know existed.
There used to be a PSA that would come on TV about 10-15 years ago with the Everclear guy, Art Alexakis, and he was standing there looking all Everclearish and he says some bullshit like, “Man, I did every drug in the book. I was a rock and roll cliche!” It was so hilariously self-serving and awkward as he tried to paint himself as some rock and roll badass, while still trying to cash in on some virtue-laden social currency to get paid trying to “help people” or whatever. It was also funny because it was definitely past his heyday and kind of cringey for him to assume everyone knew who he was and gave a flying fuck.
EDIT: I FOUND IT!!!
“I’d do any drug on the table! Didn’t matter what it was!”
And I guess it didn’t matter if you didn’t know who Everclear was since they tell y’all they’re Everclear, haha!!! This commercial is so cringey.
Oh man,cringe indeed…I like how the other two lackeys just kind of stand around in the background and fidget with no purpose…so whack…

That PSA clip made me want to start doing drugs again.
Holy shit! While I was cursing all of y’all for reminding me of Everclear (I made the mistake of Googling what songs were by them and I’ve had this single line, “Father of mine, tell me where have you been?” stuck in my damned head all fucking day) I casually went down the rabbit hole wondering shit like, “Are they still together?” . . . . . well, check this out . . . HOOTIEFEST!!! Yes, it’s exactly what you think. A fucking megafest headlined by none other than Hootie and the Blowfish and featuring literally every one of those goddamned alt-90’s coffeerock fuckheads. Barenaked Ladies? Yup. Everclear? Yup. Lit, Goo Goo Dolls, Gin Blossoms? Yup, yup, fucking YUP!!!
Seriously, just LOOK at this shit! To make it even more of a Hellscape, it’s in Cancun around what looks to be Spring Break season, hahaha. Can you imagine all the boozed up 40 and 50 something brodawgs and divorced soccermoms crawling around in their goddamned fedoras, flip flops, and flaming dice shirts?

It almost DOES tell you to.
This stupid PSA where we are supposed to listen to the Everclear dude concludes with him saying, “Don’t listen to me. Don’t listen to anyone. Figure it out for yourself.”
Uhhhhhh, that’s literally EVERY burnout autobiography ever. Mofos get into drugs and eventually hit rock bottom and “figure it out for themselves”.

Seems like a weird choice for a PSA anti drugs infomercial.
The dude from…Everclear? Really??
They should have just roped in Mr T to do the announcement. If I turned on the tv and Mr T was pointing at me and yelling at me to “not be a fool” I’d be too scared to ever touch drugs again.
Watching the singer in a band whose music was literally the soundtrack to every episode of Dawson’s Creek mumble and stumble around the issue of drug addiction, just kinda makes me watch to switch off and light up a big fat doobie.

You know his name?
Hootiefest is Butt overload…I can’t take it…all systems shutting down…
It’s funny how many names of dipshit 90’s fuckheads I know.
Sometimes it’s just because they have a kind of unusual or weirdly spelled name.
Other times it’s because I hate them so much that I just can’t get 'em out of my head or they did some really dopey shit that made me remember their names from headlines or YouTube clips. It’s usually a combination, haha. I can probably name more of the singers than I can name their songs. Johnny Rzeznik, Darius Rucker, Art Alexakis, Ed Kowalczik, Aaron Lewis, Scott Stapp, Chad Kroeger…
