The Simpsons has predicted the future once again as a joke made in an episode nearly thirty years ago is set to become reality. The animated sitcom has become known for predicting real-life events years before they happen, notably predicting Donald Trump’s presidency 16 years before he entered the White House.
Now it appears the long-running show is at it again, after it made a joke involving hip hop group Cypress Hill 27 years ago. In the 1996 episode Homerpalooza – released during the show’s seventh season – Homer Simpson takes his children Bart and Lisa to a music festival after learning music from his youth is no longer considered cool.
After getting hired for the festival’s freak show thanks to his ability to absorb cannon fire, Homer ends up partying with several real-life rock stars including Sonic Youth, The Smashing Pumpkins and Cypress Hill. In one scene, a festival crew member enters a room to ask who ordered the London Symphony Orchestra.
