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

I don't miss it, because I can put on a CD and listen to it whenever I want.

Do I miss seeing grunge on TV and hearing it on the radio? No, because it would be boring if there had been nothing new in the past 16 years.

But anyway, when I was in grade ten I loved the Screaming Trees. I used to listen to Sweet Oblivion over and over, and I had that collection of theirs from when they were on a small label. I wanted to wear all those cool clothes but I didn't have any money and my mom wouldn't buy them for me. But I did grow my hair long. It looked terrible.

Anyway, I think maybe Nirvana was a good band, and some Pearl Jam is pretty good. But really, a lot of it sucked, and still sucks today.

 

I love grunge. Can't beat that grimey sound.
Alice in Chains was my favourite band of the era followed by Pearl Jam and mudhoney. I did like nirvana, but I can't really say I was well into them or anything. I really don't understand the Nirvana hype!

Also was into the Presidents of the united states of America who were around at the same time as some of the grunge legends... they deserve a trophy just for surviving the era and not turning to grunge!

 

besides Nirvana and soundgarden. no i really wouldnt miss it.

 

Favourite bands of the 90's

 

I'm about the same as the OP, except no one really listened to it around me when I was a kid. Too young to have been there, but as soon as I found out about grunge, I found a musical genre and ideology that I finally got... Hope it will make a comeback and it seems like it's due. And I've always hated cock rock bad. It really ruined rock for me for a long time until I found out that there was better than what was popular at the time.

I wondered the same thing. I wanted to talk about it and was like "where do I go for that?" It's hard, because it was about as much punk as it was rock and metal.

Also, anyone who judges Nirvana without listening to "Bleach" can't say shit. Bleach is mind blowing after you listen to it a few dozen times.

 

I most def miss grunge! I can never get enough of pearl jam, alice in chains, and nirvana.

 

grunge was the best thing ever and is only being kept alive by a thread-pearl jam. if it wasnt for nirvana and kurt cobain grunge would still be an underground scene like it was in the nineties, when nirvana realesed nevermind it exposed the grunge scene and with the death of kurt, grunge was open to the world. with that, nirvana had more of a mainstream sound on nevermind and no they wernt the ones who created grunge it was alice in chains, pearl jam, soundgarden, mudhoney, mother love bone. nirvana sure got alot more credit than they deserved.
anyone with me?

 

I don't know for which stuff Nirvana is credited for and if it's deserved or not, but I don't think they are seen as the creators of grunge by a lot of people. I guess you're right about them makin it more popular. But more mainstream or not, Nevermind is one of the few grunge albums I like.

 

Well, here's my list of favorite bands in the 90's, most of which I have several cds from. So no, I don't really miss the 90's. To me, the music was about all the decade had going for it, and I can flashback in my ears anytime.

Soundgarden
Stone Temple Pilots
Bush
Smashing Pumpkins
Green Day
Alice in Chains
No Doubt
The Offspring
and Rage Against the Machine

Mostly not much grunge in my library, other than Nevermind and Pearl Jam's Ten (I think these two albums were a requirement of anyone raised in the 90's.)

 

grunge was probably the last gasp of true counterculture on a large scale. That's my opinion at least. Music on the radio was good, hell even Mtv rocked. imagine that now.

 

Yea, I would have to agree. It was all downhill from there.

 

Oh hell yeah....

pearl Jam
RHCP
Crazytown
third eye blind
bare naked ladies
nirvana
all the 90s shit is really really classic...well in my eyes anyway

 

I don't really think the 90s were anything great for music, but since I grew up then, some of the stuff makes me nostalgic. Although I was always more partial to the industrial stuff than grunge. Some of my favorites are:

Pearl Jam
Silverchair
Soundgarden
Alice in Chains
Bush
Stone Temple Pilots
Spacehog
Sponge
The Offspring
Cake

 

there were a few really cool 90s bands that i still listen to today..mainly nirvana, everclear, weezer and green day.

i was never big on the whole soundgarden/alice in chains post-metal kinda sound. i always preferred songs with more of a melody and poppiness.

 

I like a lot of Death Metal from the 90's and the growth of Black Metal, also bands like Pantera and Machine Head..... but thats it.

If I could be born earlier, it would either be to grow up in the 60's or the 80's.

 

yes yes yes yes yes

 

When I list my favorite music-its almost all from the 90s,sigh.

 

I miss the 90's dearly. I miss the early days of the internet, life without the internet when the world still seemed like some giant unexplored place and before cell phones became mainstream. I miss the music, the television, the fashion, the attitude, everything. This era is fucking awful, the music is shit, the people are apathetic and fucking stupid, It's just extremely boring. What I do like about this era is the advancements in technology and the interesting literature coming out from all over the place. Shit went downhill around '99 when folks were paranoid about the y2k garbage and this era has been shit ever since then. Don't get me wrong, it's an incredible time to be alive but I hope the 2010's are better.

 

Music on the radio in the 90's was almost as bad as it is today...Soundgarden? Excuse if I don't want to hear rehashed Black Sabbath songs rearranged to be more accesible. Especially since Black Sabbath sucks anyway. Nirvana? Pretty good. Hardly deserve the status they have though. Pearl Jam? Not even Grunge. Annoying cock rock.

 

Soundgarden - I liked a few songs, but I agree they weren't too special and got bland after awhile
Nirvana - okay, definitely overrated
Pearl Jam - yousa crazy man (but no, I wouldn't consider them too grungy)

But 90s radio had a lot of bands and hits that were more accesible to everyone Matchbox 20, Eve 6, Everclear, Collective Soul, Goo Goo Dolls, Hootie, Dave Matthews Band, Fastball, REM, Live, Blues Travelers, Last Kiss by Pearl Jam, Santeria by Sublime, All For You by Sister Hazel, that Everclear song
This is off the top of my head. Anyways, these are all hit artists/tracks in the 90s that you would hear on the alt rock channel during that long drive, that everyone in the car would enjoy/not mind.

The current music scene is full of tons of different sorts of music that will have different people running to their favorite oldies station.

One thing alwys sucks abotu the radio: songs getting overplayed; but at least they could overplay something semi-decent.
