Vitne Eveille

I'm admittedly not much of a Nirvana fan, but like any genre, when it gets too bloated, or rather, in the past when record companies over-pushed and over-exposed a type of music, people tended to gravitate away from it. I think that's why people gravitated towards grunge at that point, and then labels started pushing grunge into popularity.

And then it went out of popularity

Stuff is a bit different now with the internet, as music isn't dictated by MTV and radio anymore. There has been a rise in popularity again of hair bands due to the internet and underground scene, for example.

I see this happening and agree. I also think since Rock is not as mainstream it forces people who might be interested in it to look and dig for older acts or newer ones.
