They favour different kinds of music and are hostile to grunge to hide the insecurities of their own music.

LOL. You know how you feel about emo? You go to school with a ton of kids who love it, it's overblown and overrated and nearly impossible to avoid. That's what grunge was like when people my age were your age.

I don't hate it I just dislike 99% of it

Well put. It sucks even more though, cos I was like 5 when grunge was big, and I still have college kids shoving trash like AIC and Pearl Jam, and though they arent grunge, Red Hot Chili Peppers down my throat, while emo will probably be forgotten in 10 years.

The only good "grunge" was Nirvana, and later STP albums were alright, once they stopped ripping off Pearl Jam so hard. Theres so much better truly alternative music from 1991-1995, teenage fanclub, pavement, magnetic fields, superchunk, my bloody valentine, I dont know why anyone wastes theyre time listening to dozens of ex-hair metal bands trying to sound like Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

That pretty much sums it up. Funny thing, it looks like you're from right where I grew up too.

I'm really not saying this to cause offense or start an argument or anything of the sort, but.....

Throughout your many posts of hatred of different genres you have shown yourself to be fairly uneducated musically speaking. Which is fine, because some people aren't bothered and others start out late etc etc.

But you complain that people here dont like grunge music and yet there are several entire genres (wide genres, not even sub genres) that you have completely dismissed as being crap or boring, whilst displaying the fact that you know hardly anything about them. Also, as if the music wasn't bad enough, you then bring out your tabloid stereotypes of the audiences of these genres and show your hatred towards them.

Focusing all your love on one aspect of music and dismissing most other stuff as crap is very closed minded, especially when you are not fully aware of what the rest has to offer. If you choose to do that, then again, that's fine. But once you come on here and start showing your views then don't be surprised if:

• People disagree
• People get upset
• People mock you
• Your limited knowledge is apparent to everyone
