Nirvana meant the replacement of "Life's cool, let's party" with "Life sucks, let's pout". Not a good change, IMO.

Absolutely! I agree 100% and have been saying the same thing for years. The record company turned it's back on hard rock/heavy metal to embrace all of the gloom and doom suicide rockers (heroin junkies!). After that petered out, they focused on teen groups and hip-hop (C)rap artists. They have ruined country music, too (turning it all into pop!). The music scene has gone to sh!t and the record companies are still trying to force feed us with what they want us to hear/buy by strong-arming the radio stations (promos, tickets, etc. in exchange for heavy rotation of whatever crappy song they are presently pushing)...it's no wonder people are pirating music on the internet.

If you are looking for a good place to download from, try WinMX. No spyware with that puppy.

Is it a coincidence that soon after, young voters switched from predominantly Republican (as we were during the Reagan years) to mostly a bunch of cravenly PC Damnocrats?

Yes, that was partly due to the re-emergence of the neo-Puritan right. But it's no secret that whiny dissatisfied people are much more likely to vote for liberals.
