the quality of the music sucked
they were void of talent
but.......
the timing was perfect..... the format was perfect..... the look was perfect, and as a skinny, invisible kid in a hick town..... hearing them for the first time, was like hitting puberty squared. Then came The Clash.

But I listened to it after it was already over.

Sorry again
the clash... :-\
what exactly was going on in the world in 1978-the 80's?
besides bad music
and
hair stylists on too much coke?
A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died

Like Nakid, I was also 2 in '78. However your description perfectly sums up what Nirvana was to my generation. Admittedly, I was never a big fan of Nirvana... Pearl Jam and Soundgarden were my Sex Pistols and Clash.

i still wasn't a freshman when that happened, but i still love it. [thumbsup]
Dead Kennedys
Suicidal Tendencies
Black Flag
Circle Jerk
X
The Damned
Ah....good times.
I was too young for the first wave of punk, but there was still a good scene in the mid 80s.
Saw Rollins several times in the 90s and he was still hard as nails. Great shows because he is a serious guy and not some drugged out jerk. He went all out.
ah, highschool.
it was tons and tons of hardcore, and "emo" for me. mostly bands that had broken up way, way before i was old enough to be into 'em.

Pearl Jam? Eddy Vedder shits granola. - the whole point of punk is you do what ever you want and your parents hate your music.

Eddy Vedder is a self righteous douche nozzle. I'm in it for Mike McCready.
And, my parent hated my music.
The music of my freshman days was stuff like Slayer, Metallica and some older school (for me at the time, the time being the late 80's) Venom, Judas Priest and other such things.
I love The Clash. The whole punk movement was a great response to British traditionalist values, a big make the beast with two backs-off to the Thatcher era and conservative ideas that were having a resurgence in the late 70s early 80s in "response" to the hedonism of the 60s.
It's still around too. I went to school with some hardcore neo-punks in the '00s. Nice people, once you got over the whole jarring appearance, which is really the whole point. Punk is inclusive and egalitarian, a counter to skinheads - the rough looks is just to piss off the conservatives and play off stereotypes while rejecting consumer culture.
[roll] ^
Believe it or not, I studied the British Punk movement from an academic perspective. It had a lot of significance, something lost on people who can't see past a mohawk.
In 1978? I was conceived that year. :-[

lol It was, and still is, on a lot of Americans in general.
This is the sort of thing I was listening to in the '80s.

you may have witnessed it, but none of the rest of us can.

Yea, I just saw that. It was live footage from a Butthole Surfers show back in the '90s. Thought I was going to lose my mind that night. :o
