A few months ago I was feeling horribly nostalgic for the whole 90’s Docs and flannel grunge thing and actually went out and bought a flannel and wore it with a ratty band shirt and my Docs. Maybe grunge can come back! (everything else does) It was a good day. I felt all warm and cozy. Too bad that the 80’s music still gets overplayed now and the 90’s scene seems to have vanished.

I would say that the early-mid 90’s was the last breath of the MTV era. It wasn’t irrelevant at that point, but it was on it’s way. By Real World 4, the network had almost entirely turned away from actual music content. It was still alive during the grunge era though.

remember the nirvana video for in bloom, where the band was on an ed sullivan-like tv show with a hundered screaming teenage girls in the audience? if i remember correctly they started out in suits and by the end of the video they were wearing dresses and destroying the set. that was a great grunge video, a big change from the usual gloom and doom.

This was also the era where “I don’t like them anymore. They’re too popular” became mainstream. That’s one aspect I’m not thankful for.

I’ll never forget the first time I heard the Pearl Jam maxi CD (yes this was before Ten was released and I was a wee little 8th grade girl). It completely changed my world, as did the first time I saw Smells Like Teen Spirit and Cherub Rock. I lost my house to a fire last year and the one thing I miss the most is my old, beat up, steel-toed doc martens. Life was good back then, and now we get to relive it on iPods instead of mixed tapes.

I can’t even begin to tell you how happy this makes me! It’s like my jr. high and high schools have returned. I shall now darn torn jeans and flannel. And where are my Docs?

This was the soundtrack of my youth as well (high school and college). It marked the reawakening of rock after the dreck that was forced upon us. I still cringe when I think of the music of the late 80’s early 90’s, with exceptions for GnR and Metallica.

As a fan of all these groups except STP to say Primus is part of the grunge era is to do insult the genius that is Les Claypool.

DW- you are right. It is when MTV became irrelevant.

It started with “oooh AiC pretty!” and ended with “oh noes, not THEM!”, although Heart-Shaped Box is one of the few post-Bleach Nirvana songs I can actually stand.
