Date: September 1st, 2026 10:28 PM Author: Heady hospital They never had a resurgence after the 90s. Most pop bands had some kind of comeback even if it’s an ironic one like Creed and Korn. But you never hear Gen Z or alpha kids talking about their music or using their songs in clips. What happened?

Date: September 2nd, 2026 9:34 AM Author: cosmic penis it's a good question, they just seem kind of whiny without a lot of oomph and didn't have a real point to their music. other alternative rock took over from what they were doing and did it a lot better.

Date: September 2nd, 2026 9:38 AM Author: hotel children they were never an arena rock band like U2, who were absorbed into the 'classic rock' pantheon, nor an 'alt rock' band, so they kind slipped through the cracks.
people don't even know The Replacements ever existed either. |

Date: September 2nd, 2026 10:26 AM Author: Goy Debord It doesn't matter whether "people" now talk about or know about the Replacements or R.E.M. They still were great 80s bands-- R.E.M. was pretty unique when they came out and influenced a lot of bands. The 'Mats were similar. Popularity of rock bands with the general public does not equate to quality. In other words, I like both bands. Shut the fuck up |
