And we know that we shouldn’t go [chasing waterfalls](http://time.com/4665246/karlie-kloss-tlc-waterfalls-destinys-child/ "undefined"), but should instead stick to the rivers and lakes we’re used to. These all-important lessons come to us courtesy of iconic girl group [TLC](http://time.com/4740718/5-songs-to-listen-to-this-week/item/way-back-tlc-featuring-snoop-dogg/ "undefined"), whose classic 1990s hit songs “No Scrubs” and “Waterfalls” remain relevant anthems today (and popular in karaoke night rotations). But recently on Twitter, a few fans had questions for the preternaturally wise ladies of TLC. Had their scrub policy changed, after decades of reconsideration? And what about those alluring waterfalls — could we chase them now? These were the burning queries sent out into the internet ether this week. Thankfully, TLC shot back with answers. And in case you were wondering: no, nothing has changed. > [](https://twitter.com/PFTompkins/status/871922232800419840) > [](https://twitter.com/OfficialTLC/status/872146910819364866) > [](https://twitter.com/The%5FEnabler/status/872149851512991745) > [](https://twitter.com/OfficialTLC/status/872189638441672704) Just this spring, the two remaining members of TLC, Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins and Rozonda ‘Chilli’ Thomas, released a new single with Snoop Dogg [called “Way Back,”](http://time.com/4740497/tlc-way-back-snoop-dogg/?iid=sr-link1 "undefined") their first new music in 15 years. An album — their “fifth and final” one — is expected to drop this summer. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4809108/tlc-twitter-scrubs-waterfalls/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4809108/tlc-twitter-scrubs-waterfalls/"},"headline":"TLC Just Cleared Up Some Lingering Questions About Scrubs After All These Years","datePublished":"2017-06-07T15:40:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:16.120Z","description":"The iconic girl group responded to questions on Twitter, proving that some things never change, including their policy regarding scrubs","url":"https://time.com/4809108/tlc-twitter-scrubs-waterfalls/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","viral","tlc"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4809108/tlc-twitter-scrubs-waterfalls/","name":"TLC Just Cleared Up Some Lingering Questions About Scrubs After All These Years"}}]}] ```
