I'll get flamed bad for this.

Nirvana killed rock.

Most grunge to me sounds like a bunch of woe is me weak, feel sorry for myself, whiners with boring guitar sounds. Before grunge, most rock was about partying, sex, drugs, drinking, or rock and roll.

Sure, sincerity and emotions are great for poetry slams at Laundromats, but nobody wants to hear it when they're driving back from work at 5 p.m. on Friday. They want to crank "Unskinny Bop."

LOL. Exactly, although "Nothing but a good time" is better.

To be honest with you the whole Nirvana thing tears me up. Why? I abhor grunge and think it is a weird medley between the moaning of a social anxiety disorder induced moan and tomcats in heat screeching for the attention of a female cat (and with some scratchy guitar riffs reminiscent of sasquatch gurgles sounding in the background). And i will not even start on the attires grunge gave birth to (let it suffice to say that i lean toward GQ, hence dirty cargo pants really do not make my cup of tea).

However, with all that said, I love Nirvana! Yeah .....i even like David Grohl and the Foo Fighters (and there is a song by the Queens of the Stone Age that i even like). In essence Nirvana and Nirvana-esque stuff (as long as it is directly related to them ....hence wannabe bands get tossed out).

Ay caramba!

Nirvana killed rock.

Agreed. The reason they were so huge back then was because they were different, but with the passage of time, it's clear that the whole grunge movement was worse than what it replaced.

Didn't read your post before I posted, but we're definitely on the same page.

Oh yeah, Nirvan at least cleared up this excrement
