After watching the "200 Greatest Pop Culture Icons" on VH1,I was rather disappointed w/ their number 1 (Oprah Winfrey) it made me start to wonder what fellow Nubblites thought represented our generation the best? Whether it be an individual, a tv show, a band, a cartoon etc...

I'm really torn on who I think represents us the best. My 3 finalists are : Seinfeld, The Simpsons, or Michael Jordan

What about you?

Bill Gates.
Representing how much our generation gets fucked up the ass by monopolistic corporations. What do you know, he can even represent the growing percentage of our generation that just like to get fucked up the ass.

That kid who invented napster.
What better to represent our generation that people are sick of paying for all of something when they only want the best part. (or song)

Michael Jordan
O.J. Simpson

The Beatles

Yeah, definanlty some kind of musican!
I have to agree with Fruit.

fat_retard · 08-02-2003, 07:53 PM

I'd say Adam Sandler or something.

The Beatles are a little before the time frame I was looking for...

Think of people throughout your lifetime, not before..

Fruitacious B · 08-07-2003, 01:46 AM

I was thinking along the lines of who had the biggest impact on pop culture itself, but anywho.

In my generation....Probably Michael Jordan, it was said that he was the most recognizeable face in the world at one time, so yeah.

as much as i hate the bitch, Madonna did have quite an impact on our generation. i haven't seen the top 20 list, but i'd imagine she's somewhere there.

Combat Chuck · 08-07-2003, 11:48 PM

Does anyone have the top 20? And I'd have to say that either Bart or Homer Simpson has to be in the Top 5. There's no escaping them.

It's sad, but Micheal Jackson should probably be in the Top 5 as well. Which is a travesty. A sick sick travesty.

Top pop culture icon? Oprah Winfrey? Hell no. Micheal Jordan. Yes. 'Nuff said.
