Carne_asaDA Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm sick of people describing 80's rock as "FUN". i.e..... "Cobain took the "fun" out of music. Memo to you losers...................just because by the time the 90's rolled around, it was then time for you to step into the "real world" and get a job and move out from you parents house, does not mean that the music went from "fun" to "depressing". The life experiences of a 17 year old from the 80's were probably similar to a 17 year old in the 90's. From hair band to grunge did not represent a societal climate change. You can make an argument between the 60's and 90's but that's because there is a 30 year gap. Different cultures. Get over yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superfuzz Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Nirvana: fucking overrated.Don't judge how good a band is based on its fanbase. Just because there was a boom of popularity for Nirvana doesn't detract how great the band was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbominableHoman Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 The Nirvana hate on this board is ridiculously fun. Trust me, my fair Lithium, my loathing of Nirvana has nothing to do with my love of Guns N' Roses.I just think the bad was terrifically overrated.Nirvana: fucking overrated.Don't judge how good a band is based on its fanbase. Just because there was a boom of popularity for Nirvana doesn't detract how great the band was.They're a decent band, definitely not great.I think a majority of Nirvana's success is circumstantial, and they wouldn't be anywhere near as popular if Cobain never died prematurely (relative to his age, not potential).

It isn't exactly a secret that the popularity of most bands where one of the prominent members become "martyrs" reach larger popularity. It has happened with bands like The Doors and Queen as well.

The size of a band's fanbase doesn't constitute how overrated the band in question is. I agree that it's silly hailing Kurt like a God, and the spokesman for Generation X and whatnot, but the man had an incredible musical and lyrical talent.

FunkyMonk Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Nirvana rock, I have way more fun rocking out to Nevermind than I do with any lame-ass hair metal bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estranged 16 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Nirvana rock, I have way more fun rocking out to Nevermind than I do with any lame-ass hair metal bands.i mostly agree. but some 80's music is just fun in terms of nostalgia. i think that's the best way to word it. nirvana is fucking good, overrated or not.
