Not really...

You are so wrong.

I can't think of 1 band in the last 10 years I'd put on par with Nirvana or PJ...

That's a pretty tall order if they are your favorites, but I think bands like Arctic Monkeys, Gaslight Anthem, Kings of Leon, The Kooks, Raconteurs, Portugal the Man, Mona, Foals, Grouplove, and several others have a pretty good start at it.

Always felt Nirvana was overrated due to Cobain's early demise. Great band, just not the icon that people want to make them out to be.

People keep saying there is great music out there and post links to their songs and I'm sitting there shaking my head like nope this sure isn't it lol. There may be a song here and there that I lime but that's about it.

I seriously think a lot of people's musical preference is nostalgia and context. At a certain point, their artistic aesthetic becomes sealed, and they're no longer really open to different flavors of their particular preference. That being said, they might completely discover a different type of music (such as classical) and go about establishing new context.

It'd be a lot cooler if it was!

At all, or purely RnR?

Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire, White Stripes, and Alabama Shakes are all very different, but I'd put their quality on par.

I was born in '71, and didn't really get into popular music until college [all I had was a clock radio until my senior year of HS], and I agree with the old fogeys' opinion that '67-'79 is the unequivocal apex of American RnR.

The year the GnR, Nirvana and PJ were all on the charts, '91 or '92, might beat a single year in that era, but that's it.

All right, all right, all right.

Tragic death at a young age never hurts, but they were already pretty iconic before he died.

I think there's a lot of truth to that, but I think it's only half of the story. I think a lot of people just don't know how to find good new music these days or they're too busy to put any effort into it.

This plus chromecast is my next 97 minutes. Thanks!

There's a lot of truth to that. When you're growing up and you kind of figure out the type of music speaks to you the most, there's always people in the older generation that shit on the bands you love. There's a lot of new music kids are into these days that I can't for the life of me get into but I try not to judge peoples tastes.

The only thing that's aggrevating too me is that way too many artists are described as musical geniuses. So many of these white liberal music critics are afraid of being called racist, so they'll gush over Kanye Wests albums and call him a genius.
