Chris D'Elia Reacts to Worst VMA Acceptance Speech Ever

Chris takes it back to the MTV VMA's in 1992 to react to Nirvana's acceptance speech for Best New Artist. Everything about it is so 90's, and Nirvana's "speech" was ridiculous. Please excuse the 10 seconds of audio cut out. This is how ridiculous KZbin is getting with claiming music. So many dents.

So they wanted to set the record straight. Add this golden opportunity On the world stage ,The masses waiting watching and listening. All of them put their hands together, (could have hired a brilliant speech writing/ marketing/ pr team, but, No.) They were the voice of a new generation,a real revolution- Curt was seen as the new John Lennon, Jim Morrison,Johnny Rotten and something so New, more exciting, deeply profound , authentic, electric, poetic insightful, raw real,the heart,mind,spirit and soulf of not just rock and roll, but musc of youth ,of rebellion, the dawning of a new world-the change we all felt - it was an incredible time of Change- THIS moment had potential to be quoted for decades to come... So on live TV, the moment of TRUTH would arrive, they took the mic and.... wow. THIS is how it went down. .....Umm.

You’re looking at it through the eyes of the times now, where if someone did this shit, they would just look like a self obsessed tool. But back then it was revolutionary for the period. Very similar to Elvis and the hip thrusting, and Johnny Cash performing at jails and telling his label to fuck off lol.
