For years Mr Wall attempted to justify Perl as the manifestation of 90's neohippie culture, as this mashup of weirdness that was cool because it didn't worry about being particularly consistent with itself. I think the worst of it is when he draws parallels with the Dave Matthews Band. Ugh. Nothing screams "I'm soooo dated" like fixating on short-lived youth trends. Perhaps he should've described Perl as "hip hop" but... hmmm...

We're still reading the text of a speech from 1999, which would seem to say something in its favor.

Dated pop-culture references in something that's ~25 years old is hardly surprising.

I take it there are a lot of rabid Dave Matthews fans on here.
