We are only talking about ten years ago, so of course you're still hearing how Nirvana changed the face of popular music. Then again, we're still hearing that about Sgt. Pepper. It did bring the rise of more underground bands to the mainstream and opened the doors for smaller grunge labels (namely Sub Pop), and made it easier for punk bands to hit the mainstream scene in the mid-'90s, like Offspring, Rancid and Pennywise, from smaller labels (namely Epitaph). That brought non-Big Five labels to the public, and more successfully than Prince has done. Now, it's not uncommon to see mainstream coverage of niche and indie bands, if you're looking for a lasting change. The point is that the "fad" came up from underground rather than being pushed down to the people from corporate America, like boy bands, dance acts, and the aforementioned hair metal. Does that answer your question? [Edited 10/22/04 16:10pm] Well, I don't agree, but I see how you arrived your opinion. | |

When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act as a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors. Regardless of the day, I'm glad you were born. | |
