Ummm... no. Just no.

I was in college when those doofuses hit it big, and although they were popular, they weren't that big. They had a couple good songs, and they seemed like pretty cool guys on a personal level, but their music wasn't all that great. Which is almost exactly what they themselves said. Like I said, they seemed like cool guys.

The Mothership's homeworld is the pacific northwest, so his impressions of the band would be colored by proximity to Seattle. My experience was much more like Anax's.

Fair point, Oscar, they were hyper-popular in Seattle and Portland.

I lived in Massachusetts, my experience was more like The Mothership.

And, like the Beatles, they are good but highly overrated. In Utero is a quality record and Bleach is OK, too, kind of like a less kitsch Mudhoney.

Being in college when they hit was a lot different than being in Middle School when they hit.

You see, millennials, the people who lived through 90's music hated most of it, stop bringing those sounds back.

I agree with meme. From what little I remember of it, 90s music sucked. Kids today are much better off with their Ariana Grandes and their Bloods on the Dance Floors.

I like most of the stuff from the 90s a lot more now than I did at the time, but revivalism in art is always a lazy, lowest common denominator move. Don't be Brian fucking Setzer.


Elements of 90s music in new contexts are fine though.

Me too, that was what I was talking about.

Who?

yeah, americana was the first cd i ever bought :-/
