Radiohead.
Alice in chains.
Smashing pumpkins.
Nine Inch Nails.
Matchbox 20.
Pearl jam.

[-] gh0stb4tz@lemmy.world 50 points 3 months ago

The other three are:

Hole (Courtney Love’s band) Screaming Trees Soundgarden

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

I thought hole might have been one, and screaming trees was totally just something random I said in my head.

Can't believe I missed Soundgarden

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

I missed Screaming Trees, never heard of them, and didn't think long enough about Pearl Jam.

[-] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago

I think hole is actually puddle of mudd, but either works i guess

[-] prettybunnys@piefed.social 16 points 3 months ago
[-] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah you're probably right, I didn't realize most of their famous work was post 2000

[-] gh0stb4tz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Huh… I’ve never heard of that band before. Did they have a famous song with heavy rotation on MTV back in the day? If not, I must have missed them.

[-] Hellinabucket@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Yeah but they were early 2000s not 90s.

[-] Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

They formed in 1992 and released their first album in 1997. Granted, not a lot of airplay on that, and they didn't really get much notice until their second album in 2001. I could totally see them being included if someone was just googling "90s bands" though.

[-] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

They had a couple: "Blurry" and "She Hates Me" come to mind

[-] Rebels_Droppin@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

If you ever played rockband 1 their song "Celebrity Skin" was featured. That's how I know of them

[-] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago

She hates me was the big one I remember, but apparently that was in 2001 so they're right its probably hole

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Blurry I think charted better

[-] Klear@quokk.au 2 points 3 months ago

Also Skibidi toilet.

You know you are getting old when you hear Beans on toast at the hardware store.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 months ago

Fucking Perl Jam... I could not decipher peanut butter and drug sandwhich :)

Thanks

[-] TrumpetX@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago

What jam bottle has a handle? But then after you know, it's the lid on it's side.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I was thinking beer and marmite, like is this some obscure Australian band I don't know about?

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

Wait screaming trees is actually the name of a band?

[-] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 15 points 3 months ago

It feels like there is a non zero chance that this graphic was made by a member of the Screaming Trees, because nobody k ows who that is, certainly not at the level of the other 8. Like, Stone Temple Pilots would be a good actual 9th. Maybe Garbage.

[-] moody@lemmings.world 8 points 3 months ago

Screaming Trees were a big name in grunge (not part of tge big 5, but in the same scene) in the 90's and have collaborated with several of the other bands in this image. Mark Lanegan (rip) has gone solo and done a bunch of stuff with Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, and Eddie Vedder since then.

[-] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

He also sang some of Queens of the Stone Age's best songs.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I don't think I heard more than one song by Garbage until they did that Bond theme song.

[-] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 5 points 3 months ago

I guess I was in a different music loop, I liked Garbage (the album) and Version 2.0. V2.0 in particular is one of my favorite albums from High School.

Hell yeah 😆 i first heard them on the Singles soundtrack https://youtu.be/rWoG7jShUck

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Huh well I cant say I remember them or the song but they certainly sound very 90s.

I could only recognize 5 so far

  • alice in chains
  • smashing pumpkins
  • sound garden
  • radio head
  • puddle of mudd
I was born in the 2000's but I grew up listening to 90's music

edit:HOW COULD I NOT RECOGNIZE PEARL JAM?!

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 4 points 3 months ago

I can get 7, no idea who wailing trees or nails in plank are.

[-] cile.sb@piefed.social 6 points 3 months ago

nails in plank: Nine Inch Nails :D

[-] calliope@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 months ago

It’s Hole, not Puddle of Mudd. But if you were born in the 2000s that would explain why!

Hole was a more famous 90s band, Puddle of Mudd didn’t have success until the album Come Clean, released in 2001.

[-] PostaL@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

edit:HOW COULD I NOT RECOGNIZE PEARL JAM?!

... because that looked to me like a mug, not a jar with a lid next to it

nine inch nails

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 4 points 3 months ago

So I've got 6:

  • Nine inch nails
  • Alice in Chains
  • Matchbox 20
  • Radiohead
  • Smashing Pumpkins
  • Sound Garden

Unclear what the hole, the screaming trees, and the (jelly?) sandwich are, but I bet those are the other 3 I'm missing.

[-] CyanideShotInjection@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Maybe in the meantime you got the answers from the other comments, but appart from Pearl Jam, the other two you pretty much guessed them accidentally : Hole and Screaming Trees.

What's on the table between the matchbox and the jar, and why does the jar have a handle?

[-] ContriteErudite@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

It's a jar with the lid leaning against it. The jar is full of jam, and a butter knife is spreading the jam on bread. The jam also has pearls in it.

Pearl Jam

That's the lid leaning up against it.

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

That's a lid, not a handle, and it's a butter knife spreading the substance in the jar on a piece of toast. I couldn't tell what that was on the table either

[-] BlackVenom@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Am I the only one trying count hands and also wondering why "hands from the 90s"...
