88. Nirvana Actually Set Us Back
Edited on Sun Aug-17-03 12:08 PM by Crisco
Thomas Erlewine (sp?) has a great essay on allmusic.com about how alternative splintered post-Nirvana.

That scene was clipping along very well; when Nevermind came out, alternative was an incredibly varied genre that covered everything from dub to reggae to Brit-pop to nerd-rock to rap to roots-rock to folk to hardcore and grunge to industrial. After that album came out and got its initial success in the alternative scene, mainstream jumped on it and what had been just one small part of a growing movement became the movement in its entirety, thanks to marketing and instant commercial viability.

Now, it's finally coming back around. That Flaming Lips and the Eels are having hits is a good sign.
