>>11814063This. Shit in the 80's and 90s were all about being angry, aggressive, having a tude and whatever other boomer brain shit they could do to make the world seem fearful and aggressive. White CEOs of record companies made absolute bank on pushing gang rap and angry urban music to the world under the guise of "telling their stories". Which is why 99% of it tells basically no story and is the same shit.
And for all the heya fellow kis and trying to be 'hip to it' boomer shit like that literally defined a whole culture of garbage. MTV was absolutely soaked in 'tude for it's run and being "angry" was cool. Most video games roll into it just like
>>11814063 said. If you gotta question why something was the way it was - it was probably that.
Sonic was this, Duke was this. Simpsons were this. Doom was this.
Hell even a lot of the regionalized versions did this for box art. Fuck - Kirby's artwork made him ANGRY for America on multiple occasions - instead of him being a happy go lucky void sucking destroyer of all worlds without a care.
