Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no moreI just remembered that Kurt Cobain killed himself (or his wife shot him if you're into conspiracy theory) 14 years ago. I still remember when that happened, and I was in 8th grade at the time. As a poorly-adjusted, rebellious middle-schooler, Niravana was pretty damn inspirational. I know it's cliche to say, but, unfortunately, music has been pretty shitty ever since. I guess I like some country and the punk resurgence in the late 90s, but that's about it. Mainstream music seems to have shifted from angst-ridden, iconoclastic rage to watered-down, corporate-ridden, bubblegum nonsense. Any musical suggestions past 1995, please leave a comment (note: no Jack Johnson, that guy blows).

Yeah, I don't really get the nirvana thing, although I did LOVE the unplugged CD. I was pretty angsty back then, so that's why I liked happy music, played by boys with big hair.
Nice post. Of course, the dumbass I am, forgot to do a similar post on my Gen X blog.
Here's one band I like: Children of Bodom
OMG I am going to be no help to you here...lol. You and I are probably the same (if not really close) in age, and damned if I don't still listen to music from my formative middle/high school years and earlier. Today's pop/rock music just ain't the same. No way.
Tin Ma'am,
Good call on Atreyu, I guess they are pretty good.
Ms. Kiyum,

You like some country? "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road," by Lucinda Williams. I think that came out in the late '90s, b/c I was still in college. OMG I've been out of college all this time and have accomplished absolutely nothing.
Try pandora.com . you seed it with some bands and songs you like, and it tells plays some songs it thinks you'll like. It's actually pretty good!
