Journal Otter's Journal: Top 100 meme: 1986 2
The consequence: I now have Who's Johnny stuck in my head.

FWIW, I gradiated high school in the same year as the blog author, and agree with his assessment, with only a few exceptions. But then again, I do have a weakness for certain pop music that apparantly you and the blogger don't.
