Date: September 1st, 2026 10:28 PM Author: adventurous gas station mother 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 1st, 2026 10:31 PM Author: adventurous gas station mother There are quite a few Gen X bands out there with young fans like Deftones and Slowdive. Maybe it’s the shoegaze sound (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5899850&forum_id=2#50110100) |

Date: September 1st, 2026 10:36 PM Author: racy area messiness Deftones get a URM boost, isn't the singer a beaner? Never heard of Slowdrive, probably some niche fan base. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5899850&forum_id=2#50110109) |

Date: September 2nd, 2026 9:34 AM Author: Dashing Box Office 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. Live still gets played literally every day on rock radio. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5899850&forum_id=2#50110540) |

Date: September 2nd, 2026 9:38 AM Author: at-the-ready shaky alpha parlour 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: ocher tantric stage doctorate 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 |
