the_Crested_Hogchoker I always loved that early 90s feel- not so much the style but the gloomy, whispy vibe. I used to think it was what my 20s would feel like. What I got was a living Ipod commercial- squeaky clean white backgrounds with digital candy colors and voices from all directions repeating the word "buy!" This past decade has felt so sterile and fake; no real desperation despite the state of things. Say what you want about the early 90s; but it definitely felt alive.

You are just being sold to in a different way. Its still big ass companies trying to sell you things. Nothing is different except the style of the music and the fashion. Although I have noticed that flannels are coming back into style, so even the fashion is coming back around.

I agree with Crusty and disagree with Capri.

These artists were actual artist in their own right. Maybe I am just older now and have a different perspective, but I think I am right about this.

It is like the music industry is trying to sell our kids polished turds these days. Nirvana was real. Real pain. Real art. It showed in the music. You could feel their music. And this was the mainstream stuff! I know there was other pop crap as well, but Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Rage Against The Machine, Alice In Chains, etc etc were the mainstream. That is wonderful. WTF happened?

I guess I am being a little over dramatic, there are great artists out there today. The "industry" just doesn't seem to care about encouraging and promoting those artists the way they did then.

Jimmymac03 I am not ashamed to admit I cried when Curt died. It was a very traumatic thing for me. At that time in my life he was my hero. I clearly remember coming home and being sat down in the living room by my dad and sister and them telling me. Then I watched MTV for DAYS.

Jimmymac03 Could you imagine a mainstream artist coming out with a song like this today? Fox news would tweak.

Yeah, I don't doubt that things were just as commercial, but at least what was leaking through to the mainstream had some genuine art and originality to it. You could at least turn on MTV late at night and not know what you were going to see on there. Now it seems everything just tries to be the best at ripping off whatever idea happens to be popular at the time. Case in point:

You've got your greys...

...and your blue and orange's

...ah, but I guess it's always been like this to some degree, but at least some wierdness used to get through. It just seems like this kind of thing is the only thing that happens nowadays.
