Dear god post-grunge was awful. I call it Iraq war core. Fun fact: the lead singer of this is Aaron Lewis, a noxious chud who wrote a miserable song called "Am I the Only One" a few years back.

Another fun fact: nothing is worse than Creed. Nickleback is the easy punching bag, Creed is the true villain of post-grunge.

    I remember people saying โ€œEven Jesus hates Creedโ€

    Shit was bad, and I hate that itโ€™s in all of these fucking TikTok videos. Leave it alone kids!

    tiktok is the only format where creed excels because it has good soundbites, but terrible everything else. "Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm slipping" makes a good 10 second soundbite to suggest something more in the style tiktok and other very short form content has, where the idea isn't a whole video about it, it's the suggestion, the vibe of a very particular situation

    My uncle, who's 5 years older than me, was my entry point to music. And he listened to this and a lot of alternative rock from the early 2000s. It's so fucking dire, but at the same time a bit nostalgic, if only because i listened to it before i could figure out my own music taste.

    I mean, it's easy to dump on the music of that time. but for all you Monday morning quarterbacks, what mass culture radio-friendly art was even possible for white american suburbia when history ended?

    there was no Spotify that would populate an infinite playlist for you just based on your affection for a single you heard in your favorite treat commercial. what we were offered was a buffet of engineered, corporate committee designed and painstakingly crafted Rebellious Coolโ„ข.

    it wore t-shirts, jeans and had spiky hair with frosted tips. it wore wrap around shades indoors and had "tribal" tattoos. it wore skate shoes and wallet chains.

    it was pained and painful.

  • The only good piece music to come from post grunge was the first Foo Fighters album but its only post grunge by technicality

    But I was workimg at a country bar last year and they would be blasting post grunge in the kitchen I ended up blasting Techno and rave music as a reaction to that surprisingly they were really fucking with it
