As 50 melhores músicas de 2008: 32) Mickey Gang – “I Was Born in the 90s”

, por Alexandre Matias

Num ano em que uma das principais protagonista foi uma menina de 15/16 anos, quatro moleques um pouco mais velhos que isso (mas com menos de 20 anos) surgiam de Colatina, no interior do Espírito Santo, cantando a seguinte canção:

“I was born in the 90s and asked my mom
“Why did i came so late?”
Cause all my friends born in 80s
And i’m still lost in 90s
Oh my god, something isn’t OK

When i go to the club
Waiting DJ play J-Lo
The only thing i hear is another Devo song
I wish Spice Girls were younger
So they could save the world

I was born in the 90s

(91 or 92 or 93 or 94)
We were all born silly guys
Now all we think is about fuck

(I’d say I love Prince if you stay
Come and wash my “Purple Rain”)

I still love my walkman
Cause these ipods are only trends

Come to my house
Spend the afternoon watching friends
Then we could go my room
Do the “Macarena” dance
Can’t touch this?
Can’t touch this?
Don’t go on baby cause it’s not working
I’m horny but I’m not a slut
I was born in the 90s

Save my posters of Backstreet Boys
My Nintendo and Lion King box
Hold on mother I’m coming home tonight”

Toda “I Was Born in the 90s” é noventista: irônica, cospe referências como se precisasse delas para parar em pé, transformando pós-punk inglês em hit de rádio, enquanto finge apatia e casa riffs secos com bateria crua e camas de teclado que resvalam no gótico. E a música é uma demo. Forma e conteúdo não se distinguem e faz com que a Gangue do Mickey soe moderna e retrô ao mesmo tempo – algo como se o tema dos anos 00 fossem a volta dos anos 00.
