Actually guys, I'm a lot more afraid for the future. If everything becomes cool in a twenty year cycle then we have about twelve years before the boy bands hit again.

it's funny.  i went back and listened to all the stuff i used to love when i was a kid (i.e. nirvana, pearl jam, et al.) and i honestly just don't like them at all anymore.  i'm not sure if it's because they were genuinely awful, or if it's because my musical tastes have changed pretty drastically, or a little bit of both.  but i will say that grunge and i no longer get along.

I hope that doesn't happen to me. See, I'm pretty young still, and I only recently (about a year or three) started digging grunge. During the grunge boom I was too busy playing with legos in kindergarten.

On the plus side, I don't have to bother with the whole grunge scene. To me, it's just the music.

that might be it for me.  i've found that what seems to make me cringe about all the bands i listened to in the early-mid nineties is that it reminds me of a lot of people i used to hang out with who either a.) ended up sucking or b.) ended up dying of a heroin overdose or c.) just disappeared because they had a kid at fifteen. 

bad memories are associated with that group of music.

Just the thought of a Limp Bizkit reunion makes my eye twitch.

However, I find the prospect of another Smashing Pumpkins awesome.

If that's about the Limp Bizkit comment, then I did the exact same thing.

Anyway, grunge.

I think it "grunge" is coming back, it's simply because the artists that made it never really went away and are now starting to produce stuff that shows maturity with having aged.  Seeing as the genre was mostly heartfelt to begin with, albeit very angst-ridden, a change of pace toward mellowing out seems to be in order.

yeah.  fred durst causes spontaneous projectile vomiting on my part. 

i suppose if the original artists of "grunge" start making comebacks with more mature, intelligently written material, i'd be interested in hearing it.  i'm not sure if i'd like it, but i'd definately give it a try.

It's true, grunge never really went away. But there are also new emerging artists like Black Market Radio.

As far as I know, Smashing Pumpkins are back in the studio.

That's like finding out your GP is out of town and Dr. Mengele will see you now.

Actually that would be totally krieg.
