Janet Jackson Launches Own Line Of Wardrobe Malfunctioning Lingerie The name Jackson has shifted meanings quite dramatically over the last few decades. In the seventies you’d know the Jacksons as that annoying bunch of kids whose songs were more infectious then the Ebola virus, while the eighties and early nineties saw Michael Jackson pull away and gain success on his own. Sadly MJ knackered things up towards the end of the nineties with “botched surgery” plaguing the Jackson name. Then at the turn of the millennium, things got worse as the tags “dodgy alleged child molester”, “rubber masked mo' fo'” and “strange reality show contestant” were thrown around.
