I would like to officially apologize for the music from the
90’s. Specifically grunge. Okay, the whole shit show. We gave you HORRIBLE
bands or decent bands with horrible music. Soul Asylum, Jesus Jones,
Soundgarden, Crash Test Dummies, Pearl Jam, Living Colour, Lenny Kravitz and so
forth. This is all garbage. You know we didn’t even have an identity. Even as
BAD as the 1980’s were, they committed to cocaine over-sampled over produced
pop. Like you could even call it that. I remember living through the 90’s
listening to music from the 50’s and 60’s. At least music from the 80’s still
had it’s kitschy charm. Pearl Jam is ULTRA whiny. And confusing. Their lyrics
were really pretentious. As was the wine swigging weirdo, Eddie Vedder. To give
you an idea, even Pearl Jam couldn’t come up with a title for what was
eventually called “Ten.”
Fuck Pearl Jam. Nirvana will probably find another wave of
fans. Maybe. Their t-shirts are worn in irony now, but I wonder…when I listened
to Derek And The Dominos, if any person who grew up in the 60’s considered that
music garbage and us stupid. I guess I was fortunate I stuck with Jimi Hendrix,
and Stevie Ray Vaughn. I’m really jealous of their music, because it transcends
time. Some of SRV is pretty corny, but the good ones far outdo the bad ones.
Nothing is going to outdo Arrested Development “Tennessee.” Man that shit is bad.
But you know who transcended all of this? Michael Jackson.
Yeah, no shit…his music actually bridged Motown 70’s to dull 50’s remake 80’s,
to mundane 90s to the millennium. His tunes do sort of hold up. This is pretty
amazing, considering how we’ve changed.
Anyway, music from the 90’s…really really sorry.
