FILTERED

Nirvana is a great band, but the narrative that they're the last rockstars or they conclude rock is idiotic. That's not how music works, and I've always found that narrative stupid.

Even within grunge, two years later Soundgarden would release one of the best albums of their career. At the time of Kurt's death, black metal was just starting to really get going, and it completely revitalized metal. Within alternative rock, Britpop, which was partially a reaction against grunge, happened, and it had a ton of great music. NIN released The Downward Spiral the year of Kurt's death, which is one of the great rock albums. In underground punk, His Hero is Gone revitalized crust a year later, a little bit after that Converge redefined hardcore and metalcore, and a little after that Have Heart revitalized straight edge. Within alternative music, Kurt wasn't even the last tragic figure, Elliott Smith died a few years later. Grunge wasn't the last major movement, the garage rock revival happened with bands like The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Libertines, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and later Arctic Monkeys. Nowadays extreme metal bands like Behemoth and Gojira are living like rockstars. I don't get why this narrative that Nirvana were the end is persistent, because I can't think of a single way in which it's true.

>garage rock revival happened with bands like The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Libertines, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and later Arctic Monkeys
All these groups were completely overhyped; only the Arctic Monkeys had any staying power.
There were some rock movements after that like nu metal, pop punk, and "post-punk revival" but mostly a bunch of "indie" trash with 3 okay songs.
That was 10 years ago and as far as the mainstream is concerned, rock is comatose.
There are of course still interesting rock bands but anything that gets radio play is pop "rock" or butt metal like volbeat.
Cobain really was the last big rockstar.

White Stripes were overhyped? Jack White may not have been as big as Cobain but come on, he is/was massive and incredibly influential - even his new album has some pretty decent hype surrounding it

>google biggest current rock bands
>it’s all 50 year olds
Kek it really is over. But it will come back around eventually.

The white stripes have one gigahit and are the inspiration for loads of mediocre bluesrock bands like the black keys
but according to the hype machine they were gonna make rock great again, which obviously didn't happen.
No disrespect to Jack White but he should stop making lackluster supergroups and rehire Meg/buy a drum machine.

>Cobain really was the last big rockstar.
wrong. tame impala exists

ew, you're wrong about literally everything. Sorry hon

And choosing the Arctic Monkeys, the weakest of that group, as the one who had "staying power," is just embarrassing.

I would honestly rather listen to The White Stripes, The Libertines, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs than Nirvana, even though I really like Nirvana.

I find you very embarrassing.

There's like 20 or 30 "modern," aka their first album was released before 2012, rock bands that I really enjoy. But the problem is that they're all kinda boring. Like I've never read anything interesting said by the band members, or any funny stories. I wish there was a modern rock band that was good but also could produce the kind of memes that shit like steely Dan or Fleetwood Mac do

>ew
>literally
>Sorry hon
>embarrassing
Fuck off back to Twitter, wench

Why should I listen to emo Melvins instead of the real thing

>garage rock revival happened with bands like The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Libertines, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and later Arctic Monkeys
They all suck shit and were just rehashing what other better bands were doing over 20 years earlier. Kind of shitting on your own point there but I agree with the rest

He was the last blast of the genre. Everything after him came from his impact

*seven nation army plays at a sporting event in your path*

The Black Keys are not now nor ever were influenced by The White Stripes. The naming of the group was coincidental, as confirmed by the group themselves.

No, there's bands like The Darkness which have taken zero influence from grunge whatsoever let alone from Nirvana or Cobain specifically.
The Darkness are a glam revival

>two years later Soundgarden would release one of the best albums of their career.
yes, but did it have the same impact that nevermind had? Don't think so

>black metal was just starting to really get going, and it completely revitalized metal.
>Implying black metal is relevant outside of metal or even good
>Britpop, which was partially a reaction against grunge, happened, and it had a ton of great music.
It was mostly bland and it didn't last half a decade before radiohead killed it, the biggest legacy of the genre are the meme songs of oasis and blur (with the song of the latter being a parody of grunge anyways)

> NIN released The Downward Spiral the year of Kurt's death, which is one of the great rock albums.
Seems about right

>In underground punk, His Hero is Gone revitalized crust a year later, a little bit after that Converge redefined hardcore and metalcore, and a little after that Have Heart revitalized straight edge.
Those bands are extremely niche to prove something

>Grunge wasn't the last major movement, the garage rock revival happened with bands like The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Libertines, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and later Arctic Monkeys.
The impact of the garage rock revival was much less relevant than the grunge one, the strokes was to that movement what nirvana was to grunge, and while the strokes are very popular even among normies, compared to nirvana they're literal whos, not to mention that nobody cares about the libertines and yeah yeah yeahs aside from music nerds and nostalfags

>Nowadays extreme metal bands like Behemoth and Gojira are living like rockstars.
Same thing of black metal

>revival
