Thread: Grunge era

And I still think that all you need are the 3 J's : Johnny Cash, John Wayne, and John Deere!

You and me both. I was in high school from 91 to 95, even though i was more of a Pearl Jam fan. It still messes with my head that this apparently revolutionary song was part of 'my' generation. But now it's 2 decades old.

grunge unfortunately became a marketing term for anything out of seattle, pearl jam, AIC, soundgarden, all sounding completely different. I was a kid of that era, i liked ealry nirvana, then they appeared on the 92 MTV music awards and suddenly became big amongst everyone. So i stopped liking them because it got old, how grunge is that

I will say this for nirvana, they levelled the playing field and killed off hair metal lol

Very true, hair metal was dying a really painful death. I was a huge Alice In Chains fan, and still am. I think they survived the grunge era pretty well. I still like Soundgarden, as well. But now I'm starting to sound like someone smitten with nostalgia!
