My younger cousin brought her friend to a family party. The friend was wearing a Kurt Cobain shirt, probably from Urban Outfitters. She said it’s her favorite band along with Panic! at the Disco.
I’m glad his music is popular with the younger generation and I hope it keeps on going.
My daughter wears Kinks and Ramones shirts and she does listen to the Kinks and the Ramones. She likes 70s music more than modern music. I can’t blame her.
I was watching this comedian on Instagram that showed a study that all modern music is sounding the same. That’s probably why. Your daughter has good ears for music.
Maybe all modern pop music, but there’s still a lot of good stuff out there. King Gizzard and Shpongle immediately jump to mind as being pretty unique.
I’m looking forward to the day when pop music becomes so heavily manufactured that the music industry ends up killing itself by boring it’s consumers to tears. I’d be willing to bet that if the music industry collapsed then we’d have a year or two without any major releases, and then we’d suddenly have a tidal wave of some of the most unique music anyone’s heard in a long time.
I think the younger generation may appreciate Daniel Johnston too. He was a super weird and awkward guy. He was also Kurt’s favorite songwriter, and biggest inspiration. The Late Great Daniel Johnston is a solid compilation of his work, and there’s a documentary about his life called The Devil and Daniel Johnston.
As long as they aren’t doing the thing a lot of millennials did, aka wear popular band shirts without any clue who the band was.
Before someone gets mad, I am a millennial. I saw this happen a lot growing up, and it was especially common with Nirvana shirts for some reason (I’m guessing hot topic stocked a lot of Nirvana shirts or something). It absolutely drove me up the wall.
Hell, in general, don’t wear a shirt, badge, wristband or whatever if you don’t know what it’s saying; for all you know it could be secretly heiling Hitler and now you’re an unwitting Nazi magnet.
I was talking more generally about the “younger generation” heh. I was happy to hear that she actually listens to them!
Like, I try not to judge people for their tastes in music; I’m kinda at the point where I’ll listen to anything I find enjoyable. There are genres, themes, etc that’ll increase the chances of me enjoying it, but I just kinda listen to whatever sounds good.
Hell, I unironically think that Super Ghostbusters, a shitty parody album made by a swedish twitch streamer that contains something like 25 variations (plus 10ish remixes that were recently added) of the same terrible Ghostbusters midi with Joel (aka Vargskelethor) babbling about a bunch of different reasons to call the Ghostbusters, is one of the best albums I’ve ever heard. The joke isn’t even that funny, except he drives it into the ground until it comes out the other side and becomes funny again. It’s garbage music, but if you have the same shitty sense of humor as Joel, then it’s hilarious; especially considering it’s backstory (Joel’s internet went out for a week, and being a musician and twitch streamer who relies on the Internet for both, slowly went insane from boredom and made the album to try and keep himself busy).
(I do like good music too though, imo Devin Townsend’s Ziltoid the Omniscient is one of the best albums of all time).
I just feel kinda strongly about not wearing band shirts if you don’t know who the band is heh.
That one was always weird to me because most of the types of people who’d wear a nirvana shirt are the type who’d like their music. And this is coming from someone born after Cobain died, and no I’m not young

Every now and then I turn it on again but it’s plain to see that the radio still sucks
BUT, Pop music right now is all vibe no hook. Even if you dislike the vibe it’s still heading in an interesting direction.
Check out Rick Beato on YouTube (if you haven’t already).
Pat Finnerty on YouTube is pretty fun too
Alternatively: don’t

Also, fuck Courtney Love.
The late Jim Shepard would have been my recommendation, bit I might be biased.
I remember the sort-of joke when Kurt Cobain died was, “why couldn’t it have been Courtney?”

To tell you the truth, I asked her if she listens to Nirvana thinking she really doesn’t. I’m glad she proved my assumption wrong. Shame on me.
