Mediocre band, they were just lucky they existed when they did. Five years earlier or later, and they would never have been big.[/QUOTE]
Lucky to a certain extent, but the talent can't be denied when a band comes along and changes the entire music scene.
Before Nirvana came out it was all about partying, big hair, guitar solos, and spandex. That was sort of fun for all those years, but it was time for all that crap to change. After Nirvana it was all about flannels, low self steem lyrics, bass riffs, and a "life sucks" attitude. Nirvana was the band who opened the doors to Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, and many more. Grunge started to die by the end of the 90s because people were already fed up with music that's just too depressing.
Nirvana didn't invent grunge since there were underground bands in Seattle that existed before Nirvana. However Nirvana was quite possibly the best of them. Some of you might say Pearl Jam, but I never thought Pearl Jam was anything special. Personally I was always more of an Alice In Chains person.
Sadly in the same way that hair rock was killed by grunge, and grunge was killed by neo-punk, ska, and nu-metal, there's still not a genre that gets rid of hip-hop.

Kurt Cobain is a piece of trash that wanted to die anyway....so who cares? Kurt=zero talent.
I love Alice In Chain and Smashing Pumpkins more than any of those grunge/underground bands of the 90s.
They just seemed darker and edgier, and their lyrics weren't so much about hating themselves.

Be nice if something killed hip hop.
12 years? I think we're due for a party celebration!
Basically, the way I see it, is Nirvana recorded "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and otherwise sucked more than an industrial vacuum. There were so many better bands whose frontmen didn't pathetically kill themselves.

Okay, why is everyone in here so against rap music, as if its personally done something to you(other than hurt your ears, lol)...if you dont want to listen to it, just turn off the radio....dammmmmmmnnnnnnn...I'll admit, I liked the earlier days of hip hop better , but as of lately, say like the past five years, it has gotten annoying...bootie this and bootie that...I just simply turn off the radio or change the station if I dont like it...
Seems like more of a jealous, envious thing if you ask me...(why people dont like rap music, sorry but the truth hurts!)

Not jealous. Just tired of it, when 8 out of 10 new bands is hip hop that means it is time for something new. Every one says that MTV killed videos, I think it was hip hop, all those videos are the same thing.
Is rap not different from hip hop?

I always thought people had said Mtv killed radio. They were all about video and video is far from dead. As a matter of fact the first video Mtv ever played was called "video killed the radio star" by the Buggles. I think that was the bands name but that's definitely the name of the song.
not a huge hip hop fan myself but I haves always enjoyed some of it here and there and do see it merits in music. I was a big fan of the early and mid 80's stuff when I was a kid and I still like a lot of that stuff. I think some people are being very creative with it nowadays although many many acts do sound identical which just sucks for everyone else. Funny thing is people said the same things about rock n roll for many years when it was still a new thing. Many music fans of the day hated it and argued how it was tearing down everything good in music. I guess they were wrong. I'm not convinced though that rap is the new rock n roll. Just sayin...
I still don't understand though why Queen is playing Eminem before all their shows?!?!? what is the connection there?

AMEN William!
Most Hip-hop videos are nothing but the same shit repeated over and over again...
- All hip-hop videos start in slow motion.
- Rapper and posse arrive at a party in a luxurious car with rims.
- They arrive to be greeted by other posse members
- There's close up shots of chicks shaking their big booties
- They're partying at either a jacuzzi or a swimming pool
- Rapper gives a shout out to his record company.
- Rapper disses a rapper he has a feud with.
Chris Rock was right when he mentioned that rap can no longer be defended on an intelectual level.

I understand him perfectly fine. I'm sure we all do. I'm sure nobody tried to help him because they figured he was better off not offing the music industry like the bubonic plague. But it was too late...too, too late...
