Hateful fuckin music back then. I still don't dig the shit at all, but i have learned to live with it nowadays.
It's a little easier to live with because as someone said most of our favorite bands, even the marginal ones from the 80s hair metal scene are still carrying on today and most of the grunge bands have fallen by the wayside. But to be honest, it's not because the music isn't still precious to a lot of people as some would imply - it's because most of them broke up and/or have had main members pass away. Pearl Jam still does incredibly well, Foo Fighters are clearly a byproduct of the grunge scene, and I dunno who else is out there at this point still together.
I/my generation grew up with that shit so it's always going to hold a certain appeal to me. My friends and I sitting there taping the radio all day to get that new song. Rockin out to it all night long. Watchin the music videos on MTV. I feel fortunate to at least have been a part of probably the last generation to have grown up when music was still somewhat viable in the mainstream. Do I like grunge more than MR nowadays? No, but I still love listening to some of the bands. Can't say I enjoy Nirvana too much anymore though, even though they were my first love.
