@Urban - Which is an improvement, but why depression, I guess is what I'm saying.
@bob. - I was into it, but I was about 11 at the time it came out and I honestly didn't listen to the words. I always assumed bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam were enjoyed by everyone, but they were never anyone's "favorite" band. Don't know why I assumed that, I guess they just didn't inspire a godless passion in me.
I don't know, all these years later the whole time period seems weird to me. OK soda, music videos, Bevis & Butthead, Clueless, baggy clothes...the 90's were one big, failed experiment.
Speaking from a U.S. perspective, even the country seemed to be all over the place. Our politics were insane, riots were all over the place, television became dominated by day-time talk shows, rap went from becoming super-hardcore to selling out about as fast and as hard as any genre to date, the OJ Simpson trial was eternal, and being super depressed was the coolest **** in the world.
