Is the point of this thread that, as the naughties draw to a close, we are going to see an even stronger revival of the relevance of the 1990's in popular culture? Since we will have a generation of young people who only barely remember them, and we're already seeing a trend in fashion of a return to more casual clothing, specifically the outdoorsy, loose jeans/flannel wearing that characterized the early years of the decade, we can begin to expect to see 90's theme parties, possibly a return of grunge, and even more nostalgia for a generation past?

I don't see 90's parties being anything beyond ironic (but then, I remember the 90's, so I don't really count?) but I think we've seen early 90's music start to make a sort of comeback. Hip bands of the last year have taken on a shoegaze-y element to them, haven't they? (Deerhunter comes to mind, but there have to have been others) A return to grunge or, say, industrial rock, I probably would not enjoy.

Considering that elements of grunge can be unmistakably heard in the odious corporate rock of today (we wouldn't have Creed or Nickelback without Pearl Jam!) I wouldn't bank on grunge making a return to the good graces of fashion. But I could be totally off.

Yeah, but I really doubt grunge's influence ends at Nickelback, Creed and Godsmack. Then again, I'm probably just bitter because I liked AIC and Badmotorfinger era Soundgarden. Plus, I also think Degradation Trip might have actually been a fairly decent album had Layne Staley still been alive, so I'm clearly biased as hell. Oh well.


Also, this thread mostly sucks and I think it's really obvious there's not many of us here old enough to really remember what it is we're making fun of.

Yeah, but as far as Grunge was founded as an opposition to the rock mainstream, I don't think a retro-version would be relevant anymore. When Grunge started, rock stations played mostly party songs and Grunge moved things more towards angst-ridden introspective moaning (not knocking it, I ate that shit up when I was 13). Now everything you hear on mainstream pop stations is angst-ridden introspective moaning, so what would be the point of a retro-grunge movement?

Post by: yelley on 26 Jan 2009, 11:11
you, my dear, are not old as hell.

this nostalgia thing is always a bit strange to me, because i feel like there are way more people in the ohmannostalgia group than there should be. when i was in high school, it was all about 80s nostalgia. now, i love a good 80s power ballad as much as the next person, but i also recognize that i was born in 1984, so i was 5 when the decade officially ended. i am a child of the 80s in the sense that i was born in the decade, but the lifestyle and trends that represent the 80s were not really for me. most of the 90s are a bit before my reach even, but closer as far as the nostalgia bit goes. i know that times may have changed now, but honestly, when you were in second or third grade were you really all caught up on the latest music and fashion, or did you listen to what your parents had on the radio in the car and wear what your parents bought for you because it was on sale?

so here is what i think, because i know you all care, if you didn't make it to high school/teenage years in the decade in question, you are not a product of that decade. when the late nineties/early noughties nostalgia pops up, i'll be back for that maybe.

I can't say I really feel all that much nostalgia for the 90s even though I was a teenager during most of them. I wasn't really in to popular music besides the adolescent grungy period mentioned previously, and I never got in to popular fashion at all. If I wasn't in to it then, why would I be in to it now?

I dunno, I mean I was 1-11 during the 90's, but I remember quite about about it..mostly the cartoons, toys, and pop music. When I read about the 90's, it's not like I'm reading about the 60's or even the 80's as some past time. It's the decade I was raised and I was formed by the popular culture of the era. I think that makes me a "product" of the 90's.

Post by: Alex C on 26 Jan 2009, 14:32
Yeah, but as far as Grunge was founded as an opposition to the rock mainstream

I think the more appropriate phrase would be "as an alternative to.." because 'grunge' was a marketing ploy which existed solely to sell records.

THIS. Like with any music scene, the whole thing was an organic process that became categorized after the fact. It wasn't some organized attempt to shit on earlier music like some punk artists did. I mean, hell, the guys from Pearl Jam pretty much openly jerk off to Neil Young on stage. Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains is one of the few grunge artists who gets even a shred of respect from the metal community, although it's more for his respect and deference to the genre than for his contributions. That said, songs like We Die Young (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCdx--nsyjc) have as much in common with Pantera & Black Sabbath dirges as they do with anything Cobain did. Soundgarden was basically noise rock crossed with Led Zeppelin. Frankly, if there was any contempt for the rock scene, it seemed aimed at the lyrical content and lunkheaded macho idiocy espoused by groups like Motley Crue, not at rock or even metal in general.

So yeah, I'd say "grunge" lacks legs, but only because it's a narrow, artificial label that segregates grunge from the wider angry-young-men-with-guitars style of music for no good reason.


P.S.

I left out talk of Nirvana because Kurt Cobain was a miserable young man strung out on heroin and dumb enough to marry Courtney Love. While he showed contempt for his contemporaries on several occasions, I don't really think he had any real plans in mind when he first picked up a guitar. Even if he did, it's rather a stretch to apply his mindset to all the other bands that grew out of the same scene.
Title: Re: We are in the '90s
Post by: benji on 26 Jan 2009, 14:56
Yeah, but my point still stands (in fact, I think it's enhanced). Whether originally setting out to reform the mainstream of rock, or simply offer an alternative, the so called "Grunge" movement did change the mainstream. The sort of "fun" rock that was dominant on 80s rock-radio vanished, and was replaced by more angry music. If you turn on a mainstream contemporary rock station today, it's almost all angry-young-men now. So any kind of retro-movement towards "grunge," whatever you think of that title, wouldn't fly right now because that label was only relevant as a counter point to things like Motley Crew.
Title: Re: We are in the '90s
Post by: Alex C on 26 Jan 2009, 15:27
See, and I'm more or less arguing that "grunge" isn't as out of fashion as people think it is to begin with. It's just that "grunge" is such a stupidly and narrowly defined artificial term that the music isn't allowed to vary much before it gets marketed as something different. For example, apparently Tool is alt-rock. I've never really heard anyone refer to them as a grunge band, or even bother to acknowledge their grunge-like qualities despite the fact that they were grunge contemporaries who openly acknowledged having a huge debt to the Melvins on their 1992 EP, Opiate. I mean, honestly, what makes the song Opiate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g2VCpyEH9I) all that much different from the "grunge" of the day? Yet despite this any changes they made in their sound is never construed as growth within the grunge genre.


I guess what I'm trying to say here is that labeling music is a stupid habit that should be killed with fire.

Also, we just got this computer and it has a 4 gig hard drive. We'll never fill that!
(I used to have a hypercolour shirt, but it was for the British Red Nose day, and it had a tomato which turned yellow. After a while it just stayed yellow. It was for a good cause, though, so that makes it ok, right?)

you, my dear, are not old as hell.

Doesn't change the fact that I look at the children today and think "Damn.. it feels like it was just a few weeks ago I was doing that."
Then I realize, 15 years ago I was. Then I think..where in the hell did those 15 years go?

I may not actually be old, but I sure as hell feel it.

Actually, I saw that movie in the theater with my grandfather. It was the Best Thing. The trip I mean, not the movie; I was 9 years old, plus nobody else was in the theater so I could leave my seat whenever I wanted.

In other news, we just got Final Fantasy VII, but all I really wanted was Final Fantasy VI for my SNES.
