I mean yeah

Soundgarden Faith No More Alice In Chains Pearl Jam Tool Mars Volta

It all blurs together as post Sonic Youth guitar bands with nothing interesting to offer

And yeah it’s true I never listened to it beyond what happened my way because it takes about 20 seconds to realize it’s not worth an hour of your time

And sure to someone who cares the bands I mentioned are probably seemingly unrelated

But here’s the thing

Even Zeppelin couldn’t have been Zeppelin post Sonic Youth

Maybe in 2030 a new retro space will open back up this **** no
