as for bush & silverchair, didn't care for either really.
bush had some catchy tunes & I spent MANY nights in the titty bar back in the day hearing 'comedown' over & over & over... so it has it's special place in my soundtrack of life. it was a late night/early morning staple.
lol sounds familiar. I think you are a couple years older than me so you were able to FULLY feel and understand the impact of grunge as it happened live.
I was only nine years old in 1991 when Smells like Teen spirit was released. It is similar to the magic that was happening in the electronic music world.
Diet is old enough to have witnessed it first hand and been at an age when he could fully appreciate it's impact. I was lucky to be 17 in 1999 when the second electronic music wave hit but listened a few years before thanks to my cousin.
When I was a teenager obviously there wasn't the internet so we had to take what we could get. What we could get was a Radio station called 103.1 The Buzz. I'm not sure if they were nationally known but for an area that had a high Spanish, Black and White People who followed Country demographic it was a blessing.
Every year they would put on a VANS Warped tour style concert with all the upcoming "Alternative" groups. Yes True "Grundge" was starting to give way to Nu-Metal and groups like 311/Korn/RATM but you still got a little taste of what it was about.
