The Spice Girls

V

In the movie "Material Girls" Tanzie (Hilary Duff) didn't want to go to this party where they were playing The Spice Girls. She didn't like classic rock! :D
 
She sounds like a Clear Channel programming executive.
 
I haven't seen the movie, but she must have preferred real music. BTW, the Spice Girls were a teenybopping female band back in the 90s.

That's a teenybopping POP band, who had about as much to do with rock as Yosh Shmenge.

No, these were the same shallow girls who would be listening to Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Britney Spears today.

Actually, she wins a lot of awards sop Lady Gaga might be quality.

My point is they were considered classic, but she was actually using the term "rock" to describe them.

I realize that your point was someone used the word "rock" to describe them. The point you are missing is that the line in the movie was a joke. It was intended to be funny. What made it funny was that it was incredibly absurd to refer to the Spice Girls as "classic rock". It was an attempt to use irony to create humor. It wasn't a very effective attempt.

Lady Gaga is also a joke. She is nothing more than this year's pre-fab manufactured pop-tart celebrity. She's a marginally talented bimbo with a good, solid management team behind her. The management team arranges for her to win awards and get her picture taken by the paparazzi. She is, in short, a product. She is packaged and marketed like so much sausage.

She couldn't make a patch on a truly talented performer's ass.
 
I think all of you have missed the point so far. Obviously, the Spice Girls weren't "rock," which all of you seem to be focusing on, but that someone thinks that it has been long enough since their heyday (late '90s) that someone now thinks that they are "classic." And that, in and of itself, is classic! ::)
 
I kind of mis-read the first post. When I said "real music" I was referring to rock. Talk-Dude is right about the "artists" we hear on the Cheap Channel top 40 radio.
 
...which brings to mind my favorite Spice Girls joke (credit "Bob & Tom")...

What's the difference between the Spice Girls movie and a porno flick?

The music's better in the porno flick.
