I can hear a faint "yeaaahyh" echoing through every hole, reminding me of a question I had back then: "what the fuck does crunk even mean?".

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago

Crunk is a nonsensical word first used by Doctor Seuss in one of his books.

Crunk as a pseudo past tense for "crank" as in "cranked up" was slang for upbeat songs, clubs, people, parties, moods, and associated with southern hip hop. Artists like OutKast and Lil Jon use this as the foremost definition.

Unrelated, crunk was also first used and popularized by Conan O'Brien (and Starburns from Community, Dino Stamatopoulos) as "America's newest profanity" in 1992 as a word that sounds vulgar and meant getting shit faced, i.e. "crazy drunk". White people in the 90's and 00's seem to use this as the foremost definition.

I literally thought it was that one 2000s Micheal and Janet Jackson song

Probably one of the most influential music videos of all time. Song wasn’t even that good tbh, but that music video changed everything for a long time.

Is it? Huh. I always thought it was like 2000. Gives those vibes.

Well Scream created the Y2K aesthetic which peaked in 2000/2001. There's also the very very Scream-like Whats It Gonna Be video with Janet Jackson and Busta Rhymes, which is from 1998 and was probably still in circulation in 2000.
