Comments on CK One Was Grunge? Well, Anyway, Meet CK in2u, the Fragrance of the "Technosexual Generation"

Yeah, that shit was so gay, too, out in the middle of nowhere, Texas, circa 1993 or whenever it came out. And it stinks, too.

Grunge smelled like smoke and rotting garbage. I spent a lot of time in the 90s in record stores, trying to get as far away from the grunge records as I could get, and if there was any CK1 being offered there it was invisible to me.

I think I actually bought a bottle of CK1 at the Queen Anne Tower Records once.

I'm so gay.

My high school bf gave me Joop!, but then, I grew up in New Mexico.

That post was amazing. You just made my day.

Could those people from CK sound any more clueless and phony?

Of course the sad thing is this scent will make them ten-bazillion dollars.

Maybe there are still some left-wing crazies at the Times, that's so over the top that the author must be making an ironic point about this post-consumer mess of a country. Welcome to the age where corporations tell you what you experienced in the past and how your senses actually work.

You can smell w/ your eyes and brains in NYC. You realize that summer's coming, and your brain smells garbage and piss. You spot a pile of puke on the subway platform, and you have a pretty good idea how that's going to smell as you walk past. Actually, I do think my eyes and brain can smell Axe. It seems go beyond the nose and right to eye-watering and brain seizure.

Awesome post. Ridiculous corporate culture.

The idea that grunge had a signature cologne is hilarious.

Before I could smell through my eyeballs flamingbanjo, I thought that too.

Actually, doesn't that last quote translate into 'Americans are so materialistic and image conscious that CK could sell them pisswater if the bottle looked nice and the marketing was good enough'? Seems to me that a cologne for a technosexual would smell like hand lotion (for men) and a hot, vibrator motor (for the ladies).

So, a metrosexual, a lattesexual, and a technosexual walk into a bar...

"authenticlly grunge"...hmmm, it shoulda smelled like weed, Mark Arm's hair and Jack Endino's studio. and what records stores carried crappy perfume? Tower? ug! no one I knew in 1994 could afford to buy a Speed Stick much less fucking CK1.

I'm waiting for their newest scent "Not That in2u"

I still have a nearly full bottle of CK1 that I bought in the early 90's (at the U-District Tower). It sitting next to the bottle of Old Spice I got as a present in 1980.

@2&11:

Add Rainier Beer vomit, Dog House hashbrowns (or conversely, Rainier Beer and Dog House hashbrowns vomit), and pre-junk-shootin' sweat to the mix and I think we've got the CK1 formula...

The new fragrance concept is about what we are just doing right now...connection...sharing our thoughts miles away without not knowing each other...so in some way they got a point...
