RE: the 90's weren't any better than the 80's

Posted by ornery on April 6, 2013 at 15:49:19:
I was just starting high school when grunge/alternative took over in about '91. Over the next 5-7 years there were dozens of pathetic nirvana ripoff bands. They all sounded the same. The biggest fm station in the country was the alternative one here in Chicago. How can you brag about being the biggest and claim to be alternative at the same time?

I'm not a big pop music fan so I don't really know but I wonder if the 80's were really different from any other decade. I was born in the late 70's and I lost interest in pop music in the nineties.

I couldn't watch more than a few minutes of ROA when I passed it on HBO a couple of weeks ago but I actually like eighties rock far more than the 90's. The eighties were silly but the 90's, as far as I can tell, just added unnecessary seriousness and sanctimony to the silliness. Rock stars in the eighties used to have amusing public feuds. It's almost like they knew they were basically just scrawny professional wrestlers with guitars. You'd get a great song or a thoughtful message once in a while but it was snuck in between the songs about sex and drugs. Isn't that how rock 'n roll should be?
