Reply #17: They were good

A shock to a system that was getting a trifle bland (if you weren't into metal or rap) edgy and hard rocking. Lyrically obscure enough to appeal to people who need to make their own meanings for songs. A few great songs. A number of not so great songs.



"Teenage angst has paid off well, now I'm bored and old" is a great line. As long as there is teenage angst, Nirvana will live on.

I took one of my kids, my oldest daughter I think, to see them in concert. Wasn't bad at all, even though Cobain was on his downward spiral. Now, my kids and I look at the much of the '90's as sort of one rock and roll funeral-level depression song after the other. I think it was because the country had to recover from that piece of shit Ronald Reagan. Which we never really did.
