Yes that is what I am saying. I remember an interview by Joey Ramone that stated he put the Ramones together because everything was 7th generation Led Zeppelin. But back then there wasn't even a big time gap between the two bands.

I just find it strange to see pods of emo teenagers with skateboards looking similar to how I did when I was a teenager. It just makes me feel like music has hit some sort of cultural timewarp.

I blame the collapse of the music industry for this, than the youth of today. The creative destruction of technology through free downloading has made it next to impossible for an underground band to make the same profit and living than a band like Portishead or Bauhaus would have been able to have made back in the day.

I'm not really sure the music industry can be brought back to be honest, you could pass all the copyright laws in the world and I'm sure some guy halfway across the world would invent something that would allow people to download en mass for free.

It might just be one of those things.
