Growing up as a musician I was always trying to be the contrarian that hated Nirvana because they were so popular and their songs were so ‘simple’. I’ve since realized the error of my ways
Yep, just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it isn’t good. The polar opposite is also true. Just because it’s complicated doesn’t make it good cough cough Tool cough cough
Tool grows on you, at least they did for me. But their fans can be so snooty, constantly looking down on other bands. So yeah, good example of that mindset you guys are talking about
I will never not click on that. I’ve probably heard this song a thousand times in my life and I still love it.
Also, one of my proudest days as a parent was hearing both of my kids singing along to this song in the back seat of the car.
A mosquito ate my Cheetos.
Really enjoying that younger generations are still getting into this. Music is the bridge, you know? Intergenerational empathy.
Also, if this is your gateway drug to the world of grunge, good times are heading your way. I’m in my old age and still finding bands from that era that passed me by.
My father (Who loved all the druggy bands of the 70s) hated Nirvana. I remember his looking at the lyrics with me at 12 year old and how they don’t make sense…No shit Dad I don’t know what Heroin addiction is…thirty years later I still love Nirvana but also lots of Death/Grindcore and stoner/doom too.
If you ever get the chance check out the Devonshire mix of Nevermind…it’s Butch Vig’s original mix.

I agree with the sentiment completely, but I grew up with this 😆. Still enjoying it as much as I did back then. :)
Definitely with you on finding bands of yore that I wasn’t aware of at the time. A few months ago, I was on a Pat Benatar kick having never really listened to anything of hers and only familiar with “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”.
