I started listening to rock again because of grunge. I liked the dark, depressing lyrics. To each his own. 
I can listen to shit like this all day... [Edited 1/28/10 3:14am] |

Some would say so, but it was rock n roll that failed to produce. Thank you Slash and Axl Rose. "Not to sound cosmic, but I've made plans for the next 3,000 years," he says. "Before, it was only three days at a time." | |

Rock got ruined as it went less & less from it's roots IMO, those roots are in black music and getting people on the dance floor, not this depresing bullshit Nirvana & Radiohead spout. How can you be so jaded when you're making millions, fucking plenty groupies, an unlimited access to any drug and neck-high in celebrity gifts  Did Prince ever deny he had sex with his sister? I believe not. So there U have it..

That's the beauty of rock & roll, it comes in so many formats and has since the late 1940s.  To base it off just Nirvana and Radiohead is doing a disservice IMHO. | |

They became "jaded", because they belong to a small group of artist that really are in it for the joy of making music. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

 . i listened to hole's live through this more than i ever did any of there's   You do know that Live Through This was pretty much Kurt's album. I believe he wrote just about every song on that album. That is why it is so much better than anything else Hole ever released. I always felt that Pretty on the inside was better then Live Through This. "All art is quite useless" | |

I think this is a misconception. I don't actually think the music of Nirvana is depressing at all. It makes me happy, in fact. Sure there are some songs (Something in the Way, Pennyroyal Tea). The subject matter may be negative, but generally the music is upbeat & full of energy. Radiohead isn't depressing at all. Even their subject matter isn't depressing. Creep is basically funny, and most of their music doesn't even have a negative subject matter like Nirvana's. You could say they're dorky and boring, but not depressing.
