This, and the prefect timing when "Smells Like Teen Spirit", one of the final nails of that coffin. When a music that used to be considered rebellious to like even in a very showbiz form gets involved with music that your grandmothers in the trailer park/small dot/yellow stain on the map can like (Re: "More Than Words" and "Every Rose Has it's Thorn"), it's done and over with. Someone wrote about the rise of another generation in this thread as well, and that's true, and a deeper look into the Midwest US that was hit with layoffs and cities turning into dust in quick time (I live right near Flint, MI, by the way - SE MI), one can see a group of kids not being too impressed by what happened before as well as the rise in Boy Groups - I REFUSE to call them Bands - and hearing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (keep in mind that we have heard what happened before, I'm talking about Joe and Jenny Smalltown in the days before the Internet), you could see why the almost washed-up Aqua Net Addicts should have known that their days were numbered.
