Grunge died in 1994.
1992 was a GREAT year. I remember watching the 1992 VMAs the same week my 8th grade year started :
The Black Crowes opened with Remedy, Chris Robinson in white feather boa, glitter black shirt and leather pants with pot leaves up and down the sides...
Lenny Kravitz did "Are You Gonna Go My Way" with John Paul ****ing Jones on bass.
Pearl Jam did "Animal" and then Neil Young walked out and did "Rocking In The Free World" with them.
U2 (with host Dana Carvey on a 2nd set of drums) did "Even Better Than The Real Thing"
Def Leppard did "Let's Get Rocked", iirc
Milton Berle and RuPaul almost got into a fistfight while introducing an award winner (my money was on Uncle Milty.)
Nirvana did "Lithium" and at the end Krist Novoselic knocked himself out by throwing his bass in the air and trying to catch it with his head, and Dave Grohl taunted Axl Rose from the stage.
Red Hot Chili Peppers, not to be outdone, get the entire P-Funk All Star crew onstage for "Give It Away".
Elton John did some maudlin thing.
Eric Clapton did "Tears In Heaven"
Then, Elton John joined Guns N Roses and a goddamn symphony orchestra for "November Rain."
that was ONE SHOW. On MTV.
In 1992.
