AGQmagazinearticle from the1990stitledThe 1995 Overrated Listhas amused people after being posted on Reddit on Saturday (June 1), as many users agreed that the list failed to predict which things would remain popular many years later.

The list contains “81 people, places, and thingsutterly unworthy of the praiseand respect they’d received.”

HighlightsThe 1995 GQ list of “things unworthy of praise” has been roasted on Reddit for its inaccurate predictions.Items such as wood-burning pizza ovens, mangoes, and gender ambiguity were deemed “overrated.“Bill Gates' high-tech home, which was included in the list, was ahead of its time in smart home technology.

Mentioned in the list were gender ambiguity, mangoes, wood-burningpizzaovens, “telling it like it is,” digitized family albums, and every Broadway musical sinceEvita.

However, there were a few other items that specifically caught Redditors’ attention.

In 1995,GQmagazine published a list of “81 people, places, and things utterly unworthy of the praise and respect they’d received”

Many people roasted the magazine’s selection of “overrated” things, including the prefix “cyber”

One of them was the prefix “cyber.” While it’s true that its close cousin,virtual, has surpassed that word in popularity, we’re still speaking about “cyberspace” to refer to everything that the Internet has to offer, including photos of retro magazines.

Björk, also mentioned on the list, received a Grammy nomination last year for her tenth studio album,Fossora

In 2022, Björk releasedFossora, her tenth album, which earned her a nomination for Best Alternative Music Album at theGrammys.

The White Power Ranger was among the “overrated” things from 1995, a choice that many nostalgic individuals disagreed with

We also had the Power Ranger controversy. “They lost me at ‘White Power Ranger,'” lamented a Redditor.

“The White Ranger.Well, that didn’t age well,” wrote another.

If you watched the popular franchise during the1990s, you’ll recall that Tommy Oliver, the longest-serving Power Ranger, was behind the Green and later White Ranger masks during the six seasons of the series.

“Bill Gates’ electrofitted bunker home,” which contained many elements from today’s smart homes, was also on the controversial list

Another item that didn’t age well was “Bill Gates’ electrofitted bunker home.”GQmay have found it freaky, but it could be argued that theMicrosoft founder‘s futuristic 1990s mansion set the stage for modernhigh-techhomes.

Peter Bohlin, one of the architects who designed the 66,000-square-foot property, said in 1995 thatGates“wished the technology to be as invisible as possible.”

Each room in the mansion has a touchpad to control lighting, temperature, and music.

“First thing, as you come in, you’ll be presented with an electronic pin to clip to your clothes,” the tech billionaireexplainedthirty years ago in his book,The Road Ahead.

“The electronic pin you wear will tell the house who and where you are, and the house will use this information to try to meet and even anticipate your needs.”

Gates also speculated that cameras might eventually replace the pins, creating a customized atmosphere using facial recognition.

“A decade from now,” he wrote, “access to the millions of images and all the other entertainment opportunities I’ve described will be available in many homes and will certainly be more impressive than those I’ll have when I move into my house in late 1996.”

Surprisingly, lattes were also criticized thirty years ago

Additionally, there were “lattes”—the skilled barista at your local coffee shop would have a field day with that one—anyone dubbed “the Sexiest Man Alive”—many still expect to see which handsome Hollywood facePeoplewill celebrate each year—and, more surprisingly, “virtual reality.”

“Virtual reality” appeared on theGQselection along with “digitized family albums”
