I hated grunge because it was the "poser" era of music I despised.

In 91 all the cool kids were wanting to be Axl Rose but 6 months later they were all dressing in flannel. I hate that frontrunner shit. I like what I like and I have never apologized for it. Grunge was way worse than Hair Metal after the 4 or 5 really great bands.

one of my friends in high school... we use to trade Bon Jovi tapes and discuss them etc... When Nirvana hit, I asked him if he had heard their new album "Keep The Faith" and he was like... They suck, they are gay... motherfucker u loved them 2 years ago.......

I hate that. MTV/RollingStone no body dictates to me what is cool, what is great and what i should listen to. I like what i like and what moves me and what makes me feel something. never was interested in being cool.

While some of those grunge albums were amazing, I do agree that MTV forced that movement. Always rubbed me the wrong way but some of those bands could back up the hype so in the end it didn't matter.

Cornell and Cobain(the two "leaders" of grunge) despised the movement even though it was making them both rich. Said it became a parody of itself the moment it went mainstream and went against everything it initially stood for and I agree.

When preppies are buying 50 cent flannels at thrift stores to fit in, it's no longer a movement or a statement. It's just a product being bought and sold to the masses.

Some of the knockoff grunge band's were downright unlistenable.

Yes it was. The Soundgarden song Karaoke is about all those bullshit bands. Other than LES Artistes, my favorite anti poseur song.

D, since you obviously weren't a grunge fan, check out this song. It's killer but never really caught on. If you hate it don't bother diving into their discog because it's their best song hands down.
