The reinterpretation of the Goo album cover, released on June 26, 1990—a milestone in Sonic Youth’s career and in the ’90s alternative scene—aims to carry a strong element of subversion by blending the countercultural visual language of Sonic Youth with the seemingly light yet profoundly philosophical worlds of Adventure Time and Regular Show. Just as Goo was a turning point for the band, bringing noise rock to a broader audience while preserving its experimental essence, these animations were landmarks for Cartoon Network, redefining the standards of youth programming in the 2010s.
