which is still complete and utter bullshit. grunge happening in the early '90s was a byproduct of the burgeoning late-80s indie rock scene (as opposed to the garbage 'alt rock' that permeated the '90s). if anything i'd say the late '80s was stronger than anything that succeeded on its laurels. Henry Rollins can say whatever he wants, he hasn't done shit worth recognition since 1986.
