Bands like nirvana, STP, soundgarden, pearl jam, smashing pumpkins, AIC, Janes addiction etc...even bands that got effng huge like rem, u2, Metallica, chili peppers or bands that were slightly more underground like sonic youth, dinosaur jr, primus, nine inch nails, pixies, breeders etc WERE Effin Great Rockin roll and didn't give a fuck about image or style.

Dudes, popular music today is effing garbage. Skrillx? Imagine dragons? Fuckin terrrrrible hip hop acts.

What happen to Rock music? I mean this stuff sux...even the stuff that passes for rock is borderline whimpy..there are some indie stuff that is good, but in popular music, rock is kinda dead.

Yeah, the British Invasion, haight-ashbury scene and Woodstock scene 65-69 was that landmark culture shift was probably the biggest in music history. It changed popular music forever.

The scene I'm talking 1990-1995 was pretty big...Seattle, alternative going mainstream(i.e. College, punk rock) and the emergence of hip hop. It literally killed 80s. The indie rock scene we have today is literally based on that period (sub pop, matador labels).
