Am I the only one making the connection between late 60s Detroit bands like Iggy and the Stooges and the mid-90s Hyphy movement in Oakland? Both want us to get in touch with our inner stooge/idiot. The outward manifestation of the musical style in both of those times asks the audience to be open to purposeful stupidity. Does this point to the same core stupid/stooge experience?
