tl;dr : Hair Metal good, Grunge bad. Grunge was also responsible for 9/11.

I don't like it either, but the opinions espoused by this guy - that it killed hair metal, that grunge musicians can neither write nor play music - is beyond ridiculous.

This is a perfect example of you not listening, or seeing what you want to see. LOOK AT MY POST AGAIN AND READ IT THIS TIME! Nobody is slagging you for having a different opinion. EVERYONE is slagging you because you are shouting in a vacuum, sticking your head in a hole, or your fingers in your ears, refusing to engage, talk, debate or discuss and while you're doing wonders for recycling with your comments, we're all tired of them. But you're obviously not listening so why am I bothering?

In the words of the late George Michael: one more try. Look at some of the other threads, where people have wildly opposing views. Look at discussions between Frownland and me, or Chula and Frownland, or Elphenor and Occulthawk. Look at the difference: these people discuss things, they don't endless recycle and repeat the same garbage posts and think that that somehow makes or helps their case. I refuse to believe you are this stupid. Can you not understand what you're being told here? Am I wasting my time?

****ing exactly. In a goddamn nutshell. (Case, more like...)

Much to the surprise and regret of the OP, mainstream audiences didn't keep worshipping at the altar of glam metal forever, therefore Kurt Cobain is Satan.

The final analysis on Nick1976 I leave to Don McLean:

"They would not listen,
They're not listening still:
Perhaps they never will."

Really listen to "smells like teen spirit." It sounded like that he just mushed a bunch of words that rhymed together and forced it into a song. He couldn't play the guitar worth a piss and his vocals were gar-bitch. Dude sounded like he gargled on some **** when he sang If he were alive today he would have been a has-been. He died at his height... that is the only reason why people consider him a "legend" like I said if he were alive today he would be playing concerts at Wal-Mart.

That's what his lyrics were. He hated writing lyrics, so he tried to just write stuff that rhymed that conveyed an emotion. He actually had to start writing lyrics with meaning for the third album. That album also contains his best lyrical material.

Lol. Cobain wasn't a guitar god but he was way better than you're giving him credit for.

One thing you have to admit; as goofy as the 80's hair band guitarists looked with the big hair, make-up and spandex they spent years mastering their craft with blistering guitar riffs and killer solos whereas Cobain shot up the charts playing rinky-dink power chords and amateurish piss ant guitar solos. Go figure! A few months back I was in a local music store and saw this young 15-ish looking boy playing the guitar intro to Alice Cooper's "Poison" on a Fender Strat. I walked up to him and shook his hand and thanked him for NOT playing that "Come as you are" or "Smells like Teen Spirit" bull**** like most people I hear his age play. Judging from the smile he gave me he knew exactly what I was getting at! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq4j1LtCdww

All Cobain sang about was depression, gloom, doom, misery, angst, despair, loss and a terrible life growing up. Sure, he wasn't the first nor the last to sing songs like that but that was ALL he sang about! Take John Lennon for example; his dad abandoned him and his mom when he was a kid and John was practically destroyed when his mother was killed by an off duty police officer who was driving drunk but looking at his music it wasn't all about doom and gloom......and he didn't commit suicide either.

Did you time jump to the 90's and are now stuck there? Or do you live in an alternate reality where time doesn't move forward?
Cause it's 2018 man, Kurt is dead. You can count that as a win.

The concept of securing messages through cryptography has a long history. Indeed, Julius Caesar is credited with creating one of the earliest cryptographic systems to send military messages to his generals. Throughout history, however, there has been one central problem limiting widespread use of cryptography. That problem is key management. In cryptographic systems, the term key refers to a numerical value used by an algorithm to alter information, making that information secure and visible only to individuals who have the corresponding key to recover the information. Consequently, the term key management refers to the secure administration of keys to provide them to users
where and when they are required. Historically, encryption systems used what is known as symmetric cryptography. Symmetric cryptography uses the same key for both encryption and decryption. Using symmetric cryptography, it is safe to send encrypted messages without fear of interception (because an interceptor is unlikely to be able to decipher the message); however, there always remains the difficult problem of how to securely transfer the key to the recipients of a message so that they can decrypt the message. A major advance in cryptography occurred with the invention of public-key
cryptography. The primary feature of public-key cryptography is that it removes the need to use the same key for encryption and decryption. With public-key cryptography, keys come in pairs of matched “public” and “private” keys. The public portion of the key pair can be distributed in a public manner without
compromising the private portion, which must be kept secret by its owner. An operation (for example, encryption) done with the public key can only be undone
with the corresponding private key. Prior to the invention of public-key cryptography, it was essentially impossible to provide key management for large-scale networks. With symmetric cryptography, as the number of users increases on a network, the number of keys required to provide secure communications among those users increases rapidly. For example, a network of 100 users would require almost 5000 keys if it used only symmetric cryptography. Doubling such a network to 200 users increases the number of keys to almost 20,000. Thus, when only using symmetric cryptography, key management quickly becomes unwieldy even for relatively small-scale networks.
