Does anyone miss Grunge? Or the 90's period?

Just wondering..

Who decides if the music is infact meaningless?

You can choose not to take anything from a song, or a genre of music, but most all music was made with a meaning, serious or not.

 

spill drank on my clothes
I can do dat
it don't matter I just buy me some mo'
I can do dat
I'ma spend about fifty at the mall
I can do dat
I'ma buy a bentley in the fall
I can do dat

so you see it, want it
buy it, own it
drive it, flaunt it
factory chrome it.....

 

yep, might not have a deep meaning, but to say that it doesn't mean anything is pretty much impossible. Obviously it was written with a meaning (that in particular would be to do with being wealthy).

You could bitch about the lack of grammar, spelling, pronounciation or whatever, but that doesn't change the meaning.

I still maintain that all music has meaning.

 

I guess she ment music that has no significant meaning to her.

 

I figured as much, but in the case that she didnt... my posts stand.

Sure, its cool not to like music, as a whole or in part, makes no difference to me, but it's minorly annoying when people start judging and putting down entire decades based on how music in their preferred genre faired in their eyes.

 

Read the lyrics to Dust in the Wind, then read the lyrics to My Humps. It's obvious which one is meaningless.

 

Ah, but don't you agree some songs are great only because of the tunes, although the lyrics seem less important? Rock 'n roll has that quite a lot, or don't you like that kind of rock 'n roll at all?

 

not my favorite era or musical genre, i must say.

 

Good music is in the ear of the beholder, man.


If you're digging it then it's good, it might not be talented or taken a lot of skill, but i wouldn't call it meaningless as long as somebody somewhere digs it.

 

I happen to know of both songs, and strongly believe that both Kansas and Black Eyed Peas suck serious balls, but regardless; one song is about realizing that regardless of what you do, and what you think, the world will go on, while the other is about a girl who uses her physical assets to get what she wants.

Which one is obviously meaningless?

 

you can find meaning just about anywhere, really. the socio-economic underpinnings of a song like "my humps" really can be discussed with a degree of intelligence.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

music isnt just about bigg hair, loud guitar, and spandex. dont get me wrong i love 80's , but dont be so narrow

 

how can you be such an expert at age 15?? you were born when these grunge bands out of seattle started to make it into the mainstream....

but to say grunge was not rock is dumbfounded. all it takes is drums, guitar, n bass. and many of grunge's roots were in heavy metal and hard rock....... many of them can honestly say they were influenced by black sabbath and led zeppelin.....

journey is real rock? you are kidding.

 

i LOOOVE all those hard rocking bands from the nineties. don´t know what´s about them. they just though me in a special way. AIC, RATM, Nirvana, Tad, the Melvins, Soundgarden, Mudhoney, they are all on my list...yeah I do miss that sound.

most of them had punk attitude too, nothing wrong with that

 

i just didn't like how hip it was to be depressed in the 90's. i'm not into downers. but i really loved stp, fnm, meat puppets, pj, even hole, shit like that. if it wasn't all depressing and shitty, i liked the music. i can handle angry, i can't handle "hate thyself and blame your society" music. i coulda done without nirvana's lyrics or all the copy-cat bands. i've always enjoyed hearing a wide variety of sounds and talent, but for a while there, it was nothing but nirvana on the radio. so i turned off the radio.

 

I wouldn't call the Melvins grunge. Great band though, my favourite on that list

 

YES YES YES YES YES someone else who notices! ♥

 

heh. the melvins. i've seen them twice, their fans made me nuts.

 

What's with their fans?
