I still believe to this day that members of my generation, when young, were either Disney kids or Nickelodeon kids (Yeah, it's really sad that we can be categorized by our television habits. Whatever). It was a simple division, black and white: Nickelodeon kids were easy to be friends with. Disney kids kind of sucked. No offense if you watched Disney, obviously you're here so you don't suck (any more).
So anyway, I came downstairs this morning and my brother was doing his morning TV thing--Disney programming, but there's this kids' show called Charlie and Lola that my mom thinks is really cute, so she basically forces him to watch it while he'd prefer anything with helicopters or volcanoes. I have to admit, Charlie and Lola is really cute. Maybe I'll have to rethink my beliefs.
But better yet was this music short I saw, since Disney apparently makes so much money that they don't need to promote anything but themselves during breaks. It was called Dan Zanes' House Party, and it was set in New York, but like, Brooklyn, and the music was for the kids, of course. But the clothes were crazy! In a completely good way. Everyone was in ship-shape vintage, colored tights and 70s dresses, singing Spanish twee to the cute little kids in Brooklyn.
"I knew you'd think this was cool," my mom said. "I always think they dress like you do."
These kind of things give me faith in our future. Check them out:

This is too funny. I'm of the Zoom generation; Zoom was cool. I have now forgotten what was uncool, but I'm sure there was plenty of it out there. I was a very snotty pre-teen.
I was Nickelodeon. I miss the shows they don't broadcast anymore.
Dan Zane's House Party looks super tight! It would be fun if they were a real dedicated group of people.
Hi! I was wondering if you wanted to do an interview for one of my blogs(The Ice Coffee Book Club). Just give me an email at myteenvogue@yahoo.com, if you were interested. I really need some1 entertaining to interview.
I think (unfortunately?) every kid in my family, including myself, has been a disney kid. Never heard of these guys before, but I agree with you,their style is great. Would never have recognized it as a Disney sponsored group/thing?
Zoom was awesome!! (and still is). I didn't just tell you that.
Cool blog!
I never thought of it that way Nick vs Disney, I always kinda watched both!!
