young people don't realize: in the days before nirvana, american life was close to unbearable if you weren't a jock or a cheerleader or whatever. the 80s was the decade of ronald reagan! it SUCKED.

then there was this shift and the dispersed groups of "non-mainstream" teenagers were brought together by music & pop culture: an explosion of creative & social activity. all of a sudden, people like me could get laid!

eventually the record industry infiltrated & ruined it w/shit bands like bush.

I was preping at work this morning, threw in my Gish album and started working. Some stupid chick co-worker came in and said to me that she would rather listen to dieing animals. I told her to fuck off, have you ever heard an electric guitar? But i dont blame her she's what 18 maybe, iv heard her music and its a bunch of stupid pop electric owl city shit. Guess the next generation is over rock-grunge its a sad day.

If I knew what music would be like today, I think I would have savored the 90's alot more. Time travel is the solution for me cause I can't stand this generations bullshit.

@djamac360 Check out a Brisbane (Australia) band called Violent Soho.

Where I am in Australia a rock scene seems to be building more again (Classic Rock/Grunge/Alternative influenced bands are building).

It's kinda good. I hope Alt and Grunge comes back but with a new kick to it :)

@vcough i never mentioned soundgarden. where did you get that?

[vcough]

@added23 How can you throw Soundgarden, one of the bands responsible for the breakthrough of all these great bands, with that shit? Soundgarden fucking rocks

[SuperMegabar]

@idealtypical I wouldn't call Bush a shit band... Their first album was actually pretty good with songs like 'Alien' and 'Machinehead'. However i do agree that a lot of (i hate this term) Post Grunge bands came out that were/are just... Urgh... Notably Puddle Of Mudd, Nickelback etc... Just ruined the whole Mainstream Alt Rock thing.
