That’s the joke. There were a lot of mislabeled media back then, basically anything funny was Weird Al, anything rock was Metallica except that one song about Zelda, that was totally SoaD, etc etc. All of them were wrong, and god help you if you try to download a movie. 50/ 50 you now have to figure out how to digitally shred your hard drive so you don’t get v& by the feds or b& irl.

Yep, life was simpler back when there were only six or seven bands on the internet. Vaguely punk sounding? Well that's obviously Blink-182. Punk but with bagpipes? Dropkick Murphys. Dude with an acoustic guitar? Oh that's Dave Matthews Band.

Yes, for some time I remember thinking the Windows 95 song was Weird Al, since it was labelled that way. I thought it didn't sound much like him!

yep, right over my head. thought it was just an old timey nervous reference to pirated music.

Born to be Alive was made by the Village People right?

This is obscure Dutch humor, those who know, know.
