Sorry, I just don't see a difference between Nirvana and many of the
late 70's bands. I firmly believe that grunge was simply the teens of
the 90's rediscovering the power of loud guitars.
Thinking about it, you're absolutely right.
I felt disconnected with most of the world, had a fair amount of
undirected anger mixed with ennui, and had longish hair.
Yep, I'm living with you now, you just look different.
How was I _any_ different than your average teen grunger in '91? How
was Nirvana _any_ different than, say, Pere Ubu? Your son wasn't there
in the 70's, and may likely just be dismissing that which came before.
Yeah, I'm afraid that most of the '90s just dragged by in a blur of
awful music for me. Come to think of it, so did a large part of the
'80s. And, so far, the '00s...
But hey, there's a new U2 album out! It's 1982 all over again...perhaps
they've invented soul music, this time, or something...
