It was time for "Hair Metal" to die. It had become a parody of itself by the late-'80s. The slate needed to be wiped clean to separate the talented from the bands simply cashing in on the look, the trend, and the lifestyle that went along with it. Thank you, Nirvana and the short-lived Grunge scene!

I remember hearing a story that some hair band member brought this single to one of band mates to listen to. After listening, the band mate said something along the lines of, “well, time for us to go get jobs.” He knew that their time was up.

No surprise😉 as far as global pop went hair metal was never on top: it went from punk to new wave to hip hop. Grunge was killer, Cobain (and Grohl) a genius, but we had been punks had been through this. Nevertheless! I was a massive fan of Nirvana and Cobain’s death broke my FKG heart almost as much as Lennon’s.

I was into the hair metal scene & hip hop & when that song came out, people lost their minds. It was so influential that the music industry dropped hair metal & mined the Seattle area of all its bands, both good and bad. The term grunge was invented to give the media a buzz word to use for those Seattle bands, but those bands were not the same. Nirvana was different from Pearl Jam which was different from Soundgarden which was different from Alice in Chains & so on. Lot of great bands came out during that time & a lot of musicians left us way too early. And, out of the ashes of Nirvana rose the Foo Fighters.

You can see it happening in the late 80ies with Guns & Roses. May also want to check out Janes Addiction (Nothing Shocking or Ritual De Habitual albums)- they were right in that limbo period between metal and grunge in late 80ies early 90ies.

Ned again fellas. I'm an old NYC Punker from the 1980s and remember Dave's teenage band Dain Bramage's advert in Hardcore punk magazines like Maximum Rock n Roll. He was already doing that beat back then which if you listen to it is a kind of half paradiddle between the snare and bass drum. Then he replaced the drummer in Scream who were a pretty legendary Wash DC band. The pre Grohl Nirvana played in NYC at the Pyramid club as the OPENING band for RAT AT RAT R. After they got famous half of the scene swore they were there. I know one or two guys who were there and said they were great. Iggy Pop was there too.

No one called this music grunge. Definitely not the musicians. The name came from an article in which a writer said it was grungy. Not that this song isn't great, but Nirvana was for sure not any better a band than any of the other "grunge" bands from Seattle. Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, were all no less than equal. What happened was similar to what happened with Punk in NYC in the 70's and the "British Invasion" bands in the 60's. Every once in a while, you get a group of bands that all know each other come from the same place and feed off each other and very unintentionally start a musical movement. And this was probably the last one, but a good one, since Rock and Roll went out with a huge bang that made the '90's the last great Rock and Roll decade.
