Reply #34: Oh, I completely agree.

I was born in '67, so I'm like your grandma or something. :-)

But that's okay, because I still understand your points. I was the only kid left on my block with parents who were still married after the 70s tornado came and went. I too found the 80s a freaking cultural black hole. I remember thinking, "This is it? No thanks." So I was still ripe for what grunge was saying.

The honesty was attractive. When I answered the OP, I wasn't thinking in depth about it. Your post gave me a little cause to pause and reflect, so thanks - I appreciate a little reflection from time to time.
