I will never forget when 14 yo me listened to the weekly rock show on the radio on Wednesday evening (the only time they played heavy rock music on the radio) and they played Smells Like Teen Spirit and Breed from Nevermind that had just came out. I was literally blown away, in particular by Breed. That was something completely new and I just felt I was witnessing something big. The second time this happened was when I listened to the RATM debut album a year later. Those two records changed the musical landscape for years to come. Most heavy/thrash metal bands either switched to grunge and/or what was to become Nu Metal or they just disappeared. Of course that sucked but I still love both Nevermind and the RATM s/t.

What does this have to do with the topic of this thread? Not much I guess. Sorry.

It was a time and a place. I catch myself talking about them like old burnouts talk about zeppelin.

Nirvana was a huge cultural shift. Single hand-idly killed rock ballads and most of the other bullshit at the time.

I was lucky enough to see nirvana(with the butthole surfers) and RATM at lollapalooza before i hit high school.

Wow. It must have been so dope seeing those bands at Loolapalooza as a young dude.

takes like this are always interesting to me because i remember reading an interview when i was like 14 with Ian Mackaye and he was asked whether he liked touring in the days of Minor Threat or Fugazi more.  he said that back when he was doing the MT thing, you could go to alabama and the kids would look and act this way and then the next day be in aexas or california or where ever and every place had its own certain style. Then MTV came out and nirvana got famous and all of a sudden it was cool to be a weirdo and wearing flannels became acceptable. 

i don't really feel strongly one way or the other towards nirvana and don't really get the excessive love or hate, espeically from younger people

also i'd say record company and media execs pushed the alternative stuff way more than kids naturally gravitated to alternative music. nirvana wasn't the most original band [the pixies comparison for instance] but they were force fed to everyone. and 'alternative nation' so we'd accept 'alternative lifestyles'. it's all contrived. from beatlemania to grunge 'killing hair metal'.

I was a wittle kid when nirvana was on tv and stuff, so maybe because “grunge” music was already defined I found them super boring. They were always on the radio

Seems like they’re becoming popular with younger kids again although it could just be the shirt that’s cool. Anyway I tried to listen to them recently and they’re even more trash than I remember. If anyone can recommend one decent song they did thanks

What’s your favorite nirvana song?

[close]

[close]

They sound straight out of a Capri-sun commercial  to me. I’m 90% sure I’ve heard that exact drum beat in a fruit roll ups ad. Nirvana is a parody of themselves. He sounds like a disgruntled tractor trailer driver who smokes a pack of cigs a day and drinks a pot of coffee.

[close]

Uhh, that song is a The Wipers cover and it's quite close to the original too, despite being a radio session recording. So that drum beat comment is a bit asinine

(And to add, the Wipers is pretty much the greatest, one of those bands that could be your life.)

nirvana has some of the simplest drum beats ever

Look at this musicologist!

The way the story gets told over and over again, it's made to seem like Nirvana just organically emerged and replaced hair metal on the top of the charts. By 1990, rock music was dead - the best selling "rock" albums that year were Midnight Oil (cool, good), Jimmy Barnes (who?), and Roxette (lol). The truth is that the gas was out of the tank on the genre, and the only survivor was going to be G&R. Record companies found something else, which they knew "rock fans" broadly would enjoy and which they could use to wash the taste of Aqua Net out of the public's mouth.

Nirvana got a big record deal, recorded in a real studio with an important, young music producer, and received an even marketing bigger push from the label. They were not some plucky upstart who were hand-mailing their homemade demos to radio stations until they got a hit, they are the result of a concerted effort by some of the biggest names in the music industry to introduce a new style of rock in order to replace one which was stagnant and failing. That's not to take anything away from them, because that's how success in the music industry typically works, and the music stands up pretty well, even if I was never a huge fan.

Ironically Metal was still on the rise by then, right? Like the early death/thrash bands were the ones mailing cassetes and by the 90s Death was releasing Human and Pantera was coming up hard.

Yeah. They were slated to play in ‘94, but Kurt’s problems made them miss it, and instead a lesser-known band called Green Day filled in for them.

RATM didn’t play that year either, if I recall.

It was Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, the Breeders, A Tribe Called Quest, Gearge Clinton, Nick Cave, and others.

“then who the hell were those guys”

[Pinkgravy]

People love to rewrite that old history lesson that Nirvana killed hair metal, and everyone became grunge, but the truth is that the early 90s just had a ton of rad shit coming out all the time, I was pretty early on the Nirvana train as an 11 year old,I got the cassette dubbed with fudge tunnel on the other side.body count,fugaziseasons in the abyss,Cypress hill, tribe called quest I could go on and on.the first 3or 4 years of the 90s were a mini golden age, especially for music and skateboarding and I'm not just saying that cause I'm old.everybody I've talked to about this, including my mom agrees with me.new shit that was actually rad was coming out left and right

[gub]

Youre just saying that so that you can sell a gang of early 90s cds

[Pinkgravy]

Haha no, I never liked CD's.loved cassettes because I'm pretty rough with my stuff and what CDs I did have turned to crap in a year or two,I still have a couple cassettes from the late 80s.also I'm happy for Francis because that last Kurt Cobain impersonator she dated from that shitty band was a grade a skeevosa .the Hawks are sitcom level wholesome,I bet that they make regular family Jamba juice trips
