  This theme song says “the 1990s” to me more strongly than almost any other.

  Can we please talk about how the new intro is able to reproduce the feel of the original? The music really sells it a lot. Watching the old intro beckons nostalgia for the 1990s and a simpler time. It felt like it just didn’t exist anymore in the current day. Yet, the new intro brings the same feeling for 2020s. I’ve watched it over and over to catch small details that help build the feeling. Things I’ve noticed: - Obviously both were shot on 8 mm (minus film grain lost in the transfer-to-tape in the original version). - Peoples’ expressions seem genuine and candid - The new intro starts anachronistic but, through indirect exposition, eases you into the fact that it’s modern day. You don’t see modern objects until the fourth or fifth shot of the intro (Mitsubishi Outlander car, bike trailers, dogs in bike trailers, longboards, etc). Anything else I’m missing?

  I didn't watch any KITH growing up (although I've watched it lately). However, there some weird similarity between their intro song, and the intro song to The Daily Show that often makes me feel vaguely nostalgic. Da Da dadada da-da da-da.
