“lude” ‘80s?
The Grunge music culture was over by 1994.
DAMN I hate that display of illiteracy! Widespread.
And literally not a day goes by since then when I think about this.

True. Rap has been a far more important influence. Cobain looks more and more like Maynard G. Krebs.
RIP.

Personally, I think that Jailhouse Rock made people want to go to prison. What a great video:

I do not wish to be "enlightened" by a zealot who has just insulted me.
Go enlighten yourself.
So you *won't* be voting for Perry, then? /hijack>
Cheers!
Unfortunately, post-grunge in the form of the execrable Nickelback, Daughtry, etc. is with us still complete with po-faced band members sporting the usual sleeve tats and the obligatory black t-shirts. They’re serious, you know.
Mesa Rectifiers, BBE enhanced stereo separation and three tons of compression make it all an ear-fatiguing sludge.
“...which rhymes with ‘P’ and that stands for POOL!!!”
He pissed me off. I'm kind of looking at Cain now.
I disagree.
Nirvana was a breath of fresh air at the time.
Finally the vapid hair band was shown the door.
There was more redeeming qualities in the music of Nirvana than negatives.

This is giving way too much credit to one album or band. Nirvana was a symptom, not a cause. And I'll take nihilism over Communism any day. The 60s music and culture were much more destructive to our collective culture.
I was a college freshman when grunge hit the scene and I couldn't have been happier to watch those poodle-coifed, over-produced hair bands fade away. Actually, though, Nirvana was probably my least-favorite band of the Grunge era. I felt they were more punk than rock. I really liked Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Jane's Addiction and Smashing Pumpkins. Still do.
I've always felt that the short life of Grunge was a product of the times. The lyrics and message contained a lot of "Woe is me. My life sucks. Nobody understands me. The world is depressing." imagery. By 1994, the internet revolution was right around the corner. There was a sense of optimism and a feeling that the world was about to become a very cool place. This spelled the end for the doom and gloom of Grunge.
True.. but its genre was the catalyst for the godless rage filled music culture and bands of today. That was the point.
Lude… The CT slang word for outright vulgar and shamelessness.
Yeah, well that was back in the 90’s, so nevermind all that.
