[@DizzyDez613]

The outbreak of grunge, the pinnacle of alternative rock, and the best decade of rap. Not to mention a great death metal scene. The 90’s was one of the best decades ever for music, because MANY different genres were strong and relevant at the same time. Normally each decade sorta has its own thing. But not the 90’s. Whether you were a gang banger or a head banger, things were GOOD in the music industry.

[@millerhxc]

@@ratmachine87 It's good but they clearly hadn't found their own sound yet. They were coming off of the back of the grunge boom and rise of alt rock. At least A Place In The Sun was somewhat original at the time.

Oh the 90's. Worked at a CD and cassette store in the 90's and it was such a surreal time. Saw Primus at Lollapalooza 93 when I was 17 along with Front 242, Arrested Development, Babes In Toyland, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Fishbone, Alice in Chains, Dinosaur JR. Also, met Rollins at a conference back in Memphis along with Ice T about freedom in music.

[@denalinde]

[@robwalsh9843]

For me, the early 90's was just a fantastic explosion of heavy music. There was grunge. There was Florida death metal. There was doom and stoner. There was hardcore and post-hardcore. There was all kinds of weird avant garde alt metal that couldn't really be categorized. It was just an exciting time to discover new bands.

[@eoghan_ak]

In regards to Green Jelly, someone in the stream said, "somehow they're related to Tool" yes not only somehow but directly, Danny Carey was on drums and Maynard did backup vocals in that record.

[@Acandlesfickleflame]

Both ANThology and truANT are fantastic albums. I always go back and forth between which is my favorite. But the second half of truANT always gets me. Especially Tia Lupe followed by Rubber Mallet. Two songs in 7 in two completely different genres is pretty awesome. Also, their little known first album, Greatest Hits, is fun to listen to as a fan. It's definitely a bit rougher since I believe they produced and mixed it themselves. But you can hear early versions of songs like These Days (which has a completely different verse), S.S. Recognize, and Smooth Criminal.

[@drewphillips704]

I don't care if Primus hold's up or not, they are amazing. No one could ever sound like them. And, yes, Primus was the band that my older brother played when he got in the car in the 90s.

Saw them open for Janes Addiction & somebody threw a shoe toward the stage. Total chaos erupted as the band played on. It was wild.

@@untitled568 idk, the post punk scene from the 80's was pretty good. I'd say bands like "The Chameleons" and "Lowlife" were pretty top notch from the time...

[@untitled568]

@@IncredulousMisanthrope but the stuff like Motley Crue and Vanilla Ice, Warrant, Twisted sister were pure trash

[@IncredulousMisanthrope]

@@untitled568 oh yeah they were. Like, every generation has musical gems and on the other hand, just complete and utter shite lmfao. I was just talking about the 80's stuff that didn't suck, that's all.

[@tibopolleunis]

In 2019 I saw Alien Ant Farm and POD on tour! I was blown away by both bands! Both were really humble and they're awesome musicians. I also find it sad that Lit is a one hit wonder, because if I had to chose one pop punk album as my favorite it would be A Place In The Sun by Lit, there's literally no bad song on there

[@David_Theisen]

Love POD’s music!!! They haven’t put anything out since Circles but their first two albums are my absolute favorites! So much thrash sound in them!! Snuff the Punk and Brown

[@linainverse9369]

Beautiful by POD is pretty good too

[@jdubs681]

Could be because I was born in 1985. But to me, the mid 90’s were the pinnacle of great music.

[@seck100]

Same age here, same thought. Amen.

[@hugofuenmayor]

Me too

[@larryparr2799]

Me too

[@1freakgamer]

I was born in early 90s. And I'd agree with you. 1980 up until circa 2002-2004 was a golden age. Definitely peaked in the mid 90s.

[@latentsea]

Missed it by that much...

[@ChrisMcSweeney]

Burst out laughing at the rant on grunge fashion at 9:26 🤣

[@User-54631]

Pearl Jam video for Jeremy was a glimpse into the future and is still 100% relevant. I’m pretty sure Dana C from tool was the drummer for green jelly. Tim Anderson from primus does jiu jitsu got Maynard into it to.

[@evergray5063]

I know Maynard is the “not by the hair of my chinney chin chin” part, and I think the guitar player was in GG also, but I don’t think the drummer was

[@Thebassguru84]

The 90s music paved the way! It only sucks for the people that didn’t get to experience it

[@painandpyro]

Come on man, you can't skip what Fantano calls the "domestic abuse solo" in Down with the Sickness 😄 I never heard that in the radio version, so finally hearing it years later was...interesting haha

[@seanamrein4989]

Big same man. I feel like I never understood the song at all until learning it's about his abusive mom

[@webstercorndog9717]

that part ruined a song that was already meme worthy

[@mrhappy7654]

I'm pretty sure it's about BDSM and he's the submissive, so the abuse is consensual 😁

[@lordtrigon1733]

David Draiman says “Ooh-wa-wa!” and everyone laughs. Jonathan Davis says “Boomahahffhbxdgvvhhcbkjfssd!!!” and it’s all cool. 😅

[@loudnoises213]

I remember Jim Jeffries had roast show on netflix where they would roast dead people. Curt Coban got an episode and one of the roaster said this " Curt because you died, we all had to convince ourselves that Pearl Jam was good." I fuckin died... hahaha

[@garretthenderson5738]

I used to sing Three LIttle Pigs at karaoke at Benihanas... they finally removed it from the play list at the request of management.

[@mikepowell4772]

this made me go back and listen to old Biohazard for some reason

[@yoe91]

3:10 (on nu metal being) "Don't mess with me I'm crazy I might snap !" The absolute perfect summary of it. Well done.

[@TheMrTwizter]

"This is why I didn't like grunge, they look my parents freinds" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard and that's from a big grunge fan lol

[@biznatcho7]

Pretty sure that McCready was LARPing as SRV in that video.

[@chadxvii]

I dont know why that is such a surprise. Grunge could have been our parents. Most of them were in there mid 20s to early 30s when we were born.

[@JoeLectrick]

I still really like that Lit track. The 70s aesthetic they went for actually really makes it more timeless, I feel. If they went for the 90s style party video, it would have been stuck in that time period

[@justanothor1]

Loved movies by alien ant farm and loved the cameo by Pat Morita. Great song by lit. I bought all their albums at the time and thought they were pretty good and didn't get enough credit.

[@zachemorgan]

I personally think Pearl jam holds up great the songs are so fun to sing along to while driving or playing video games. I feel like they are the nickelback of the 90's everyone loves to hate them but they have some songs everyone has loved at one point.

[@hamonthecob]

If you cover My Own Worst Enemy in any band in 2021, every single person in the place goes nuts for it. It's crazy.

[@ryleighrage]

It’s still a karaoke night banger for sure.

[@davedixon2167]

Oh man, I could comment a lot, but I felt the need to say that Pearl Jam's peak was that one album. Everything else they did was just kind of OK, but Ten was friggin' amazing.

[@adammccarty]

I love that Alien Ant Farm was included, movies was a great song and awesome video. The original video for movies was great as well, less cinematic but it was the first time I had heard them on maybe much/fuse

[@SolarDNA]

My god, that fuckin Lit song. I worked at a convenience store in the early 2000s for a couple years and they kept the radio blasting top 40 XM satellite radio and I'd hear that song constantly. Like ten times a shift. lol

[@bhamden84]

AAF - Anthology album is solid. I always thought it was interesting that the bassist made his own basses to play in the band.

[@therippedemon]

Man I never knew Lit had so many good tunes! This whole video has got me feeling those nostalgia vibes.

[@pancakeburglar9361]

I love early Primus but I still have no idea how they got as popular as they did. They’re just so fucking weird and out there you’d think they’d be much more niche but like you said the early 90s was just a cool creative time in alternative and heavy music.

[@Preservestlandry]

You put it on mtv at the time, it was going to reach enough fans.

[@muenchhausenmusic]

Hm, Pearl Jam... when I was 12 my dad gave me their Live On Two Legs album because he didn't like it, and I freaking loved it, listened to it so many times back then. Even despite I am neither a grunge fan nor big on live albums. But I found their live stuff just so much better than any of their albums I had listened to. Maybe Matt Cameron played a role, I really enjoy the drumming on there. As for songs, I think many are good. Especially Corduroy and Given to fly are awesome

[@eisernfront8549]

Aqua still holds up. My kids like em. I love one of their song called "my oh my"

[@Hubcityhap]

The album had so many good songs. "Candyman", "Mr.Jones" and "my oh my" were stand outs for me.

[@allaspinaband]

Love Aqua! They were huge in Australia! Saw them in 2012 and it was wild! They had a full band and the crowd was going crazy!

[@sonikku956]

Primus and Mr. Bungle are the weirdest metal bands of all time. I love them.

[@jamesmarkham7489]

You should check out Igorr then!

"Primus is the music your big brother listened to when he got in his car in the 90's" Primus WAS the music my big brother listened to when he got in his car in the 90's.

[@techramancer]

"Does kinda sound like shitty Primus" Primus sounds like shitty Primus. And that's okay, it's what I appreciates abouts them.

[@randylahey3432]

Allegedly

[@hashinator7]

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater on PS1 introduced me to Primus. What a great time to be alive.

[@phatnana2379]

The two 90s nu-metal tunes that still hold up... 1. Mudvayne - Dig 2. System of a Down - Suite Pea PS: Music production sounded MUCH better in the 90s too, imo! In turn, sound systems were better! Back when "bumping the bass" meant the bass, not the kick drum. I miss hearing bass lines slam out of car stereos, all you hear out of car systems now is kick drum

[@extrememetalunderground]

korns first 3 albums n slipknots first 2 hold up imo

[@stoph224]

I never got into Primus but I did like Jerry Was A Race Car Driver as it was on the original X Games soundtrack (which had some jams!)

[@DATA-qt3nb]

I can honestly say I love Primus lol I'm not always in the mood to listen to them but when I am I'll play them for an hour(yes, I am a bass player)

[@almost.sweettalk.caffeine]

Primus are excellent, one of my absolute favourites.
