Based on the number of kids I see with "Nirvana" t-shirts in my daughters' high school, I don't think things are over for rock & roll.
Are things "over" for blues? Jazz? "Classical" music?
Re: In the 21st Century Everything Old Is New Again
12Yeah but do they actually listen to Nirvana? I see those shirts a lot too, on people I'm sure never heard more than one song.

13Yeah, pretty much on par with Star Wars shirts at this point (not great analogy as there are still 'new' Star Wars but you get the idea)ChudFusk wrote: Thu Oct 06, 2022 1:54 pmYeah but do they actually listen to Nirvana?

15Ask her if I can come to her school and do a "Name 3 Songs" Youtube challenge with her classmates. I'll need to go to Wal-Mart first and get a 2XL Nirvana shirt so I can blend in.

Re: In the 21st Century Everything Old Is New Again
17^ I think she’s done something similar already.
I give her a year before she dives headfirst into indie rock.
Meh, wrong decade.

Nicole Green, who is 17 and from Lincolnshire, is wearing a Guns N’ Roses T-shirt. She says she has “heard of the band but couldn’t tell you any of their songs”. She has four band T-shirts including an AC/DC one. She says she likes them because “they’re part of a new era indie look” and that she would buy another one “if it was on trend”

I can't blame this kid, because she didn't live through any of the eras that would have given her a better perspective. I blame the indie rock dudes who wore lots of EC/DC and other mainstream band shirts and made them seem cooler than they are.
