Date: March 16th, 2026 12:38 PM Author: dupa maybe i misunderstood the premise of the thread. I interpreted it to be analyzing the music made in the 90s with the benefit of time.
If we are including their later albums (aside from American Idiot), then yeah sure there is a huge quality drop off. Same thing with Weezer.
But that's like saying Iron Maiden is a shitty 80s metal band because Virtual XI sucks. |

The artists that were popular in the 93-96 time frame still sound great though: Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Third Eye Blind, Oasis, Gin Blossoms, etc. I don't particularly like Green Day but they're still selling out stadiums so they must be doing something right as well. |
