Fact is in my time you had Nirvana, the pumpkins, pearl jam, soundgarden, live, and some other top notch shit going down, and hitting the charts. The charts have basically sucked since. Todays music that does hit highly on the charts seems to suck ass. There are still some happening bands out there today, yet they dont interest the fickle minds of todays youth.
Back in my day teens didnt care about cell phones, fashion(we wore shredded jeans and anything else you could get cheap) we weren't puppets to a mass marketing plan aimed at assimilating all the sheep.
I'll take Pearl Jam to Hoobastank any day of the week. I'll take alice in chains to sum41 any day of the week. Face it: rock music has gotten watered down. You see it everywhere. On the mtv awards shows now, at least back then they'd allow bands like soundgarden and pearl jam to play..now we get rock acts like freakin simple plan and blink. blahhhh.
It's a shame.
