Jesus wept. They, along with Nirvana, created an entire Genre (sub-genre) of music that has lasted for 25+ years and will be around for 25 years more.
Its funny how popularity is uncool and quality music is often frowned upon because people who in turn want to look cool by essentially just listening to what ever one hit wonder ear faeces Triple J has been paid to flush out from their toilet of a radio station.
next everyone will be saying that Queen was just a boy band.
I very much know who they are, but just saying they've not left an impression on me at all. Same with Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, etc. There was way better stuff happening in the 90s to worry about most of the grunge music. Some exceptions, like Nirvana and the Pumpkins (but different influences there). No doubt grunge influenced a whole bunch of stuff, but just because its original, doesn't mean its the best.
I'm a ABC local listener, so cant tell you whats on JJJ or popular these days, its been a long time!
Queen I've never understood either.
