Very Hot Topic-esque.

Where's the ICP thread?

RM shows its true colors.

ITS 1996 ALL OVER AGAIN BABY.

Has anyone even made any music after 1999?

Some have tried.

Who would've thought a Pearl Jam message board would be comprised of aging Gen-Xers

Yeah. Your sarcasm is terrible sometimes. I was addressing the thread topic.

As was I.

I think Cameron Crowe knows of 1 or 2 songs.

Do we have an Incubus thread? KoRn? Disturbed? Static-X? Stone Cold Steve Austin? Black T-shirts with edgy slogans?

Tool and NIN are two of the greatest bands from that era and the actual one too...MM...not so much.

I listen to this song about twice a year and I thoroughly enjoy it.

I never really noticed a lot of audience overlap between Pearl Jam and those other bands. Was there?

Most of the Manson/NIN/etc. people I knew really explicitly hated Pearl Jam, Eddie Vedder especially.

Tool thread - cool!
NiN thread - kinda dated and not my thing but they have their fans
Marilyn Manson - ok ok thats enough now
ICP - Too far!

yeah, they were truly haters of grunge in particular....incubus, korn...those bands had little to do with what happened in the early 90s.

It's just plat doing his thing. There is or at least was very little audience overlap. It should be an easy distinction to make.

I don't listen to any of these bands.

Apparently RM sits in the impossibly thin overlay of that particular Venn Diagram.

I am consistently impressed by how diverse of a community RM is, taste-wise.

I wonder how much of a credit that is to Pearl Jam as a band. On the one hand, I think there are a lot of people who listened to a lot of PJ growing up and just moved on or branched out over the years, which is natural. But on the other, it does make sense to me that someone who listens thoughtfully to a band like PJ in his or her formative years would be primed to appreciate a pretty broad spectrum of different musical styles when it came time to branch out.
