Well personally for me it was..........i dont listen to commercial radio
id rather chop off my knob than be force fed that sh1t.
Well i can have my opinion....as much as we had Nirvana,Sonic Youth,and at a stretch Supergrass amongst a minority there was a lot of crap n all.
You only have to watch those late night tv compilation shows just to see how crap it was....Elastica,Kula Shaker,NU METAL,Mansun,Teenage Fanclub,Oasis,the majority of the grunge scene......man im yawning typing their names at the memory of em.
I listened to alternative stuff through the 90s and the majority of stuff has dated far quickly than that of the 60s,70s n 80s.
im sure there are lots of decent bands that broke in the 90s but at this moment i cant(be arsed) think of any
though i can guess u can

Watching all the old Starwars movies on Beta and VHS
I was 15 in 1998 when the teaser poster and trailer were released for Starwars Episode I, and I almost shit my pants at seeing the simple image of a desert, a young boy, and his shadow of Darth Vader... the simple text in the corner: Episode I.
Hey i aint stopped growing
Some of that list means stuff to people of my age too.
(notice i said SOME..........if i said a LOT i guess that would have meant i was the kind of person who is kept away from sharp instruments,wears a bib at meal times and whacks off to The Babysitter Club)
maybe not the stuff about the Pink Power Ranger and keenan and Kell but the Nirvana stuff and the different games systems mean as much to everyone as they do the kids of the 90s.
Mind u if i WAS a kid of the 90s i sure as hell would have stayed away from 75% of that list!
Ah yes the exitement of the first SW TPM teaser trailer......never has something promised so much and given so little.
