I wonder if grungers were perceived by the old guard as the douchebag hipsters of the early 90s

Remember how much Buffalohed loved "Mr. Brightside"? That was kind of weird.

Is there another band who's commercial pinnacle was their debut album yet managed to still stay an arena/festival headline-sized act for a solid decade after they appeared despite declining sales? I can't think of any besides Pearl Jam and The Killers. Just about every other act mentioned in this thread had an ascent in terms of commercial appeal.

Good call. I don't know how big they are now (or if they're even still together), but they were still a big live draw in the early 00's.
