So who was the greatest band of the #grunge scene? For a long time I would have said Nirvana but I'm now thinking maybe Alice In Chains (for the Layne Staley period).
It blows my mind that this album was released over 30 years ago. Yet the lyrics to Youth Against Fascism show us that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
"Yeah, the president sucks
He's a war pig fuck
His shit is out of luck
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
Another Nazi attack
A skinhead is cracked
My blood is black"
Having a bit of a Sonic Youth time travel tour today. After Dirty, I went back to 1988 to listen to Daydream Nation, and now I'm in 1990, #listening to Goo:
Again, the lyrics to Kool Things sound eerily relevant:
"Hey, Kool Thing, come here
Sit down beside me
There's something I got to ask you
I just wanna know, what are you gonna do for me?
I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
From male white corporate oppression?"
#Listening to the first Alice in Chains studio album, Facelift, released in 1990. Not a big fan of this one. It's too long, and none of the songs stand out from the pack as they do on Dirt, released 2 years later. I don't know the self-titled 1995 album as well, and it's even longer. But there's more variety in the tracks than on Facelift.

"Creep" is the debut single by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 21 September 1992. It appeared on their debut studio album, Pablo Honey (1993). Radiohead took elements from the 1972 song "The Air That I Breathe"; following legal action, Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood are credited as cowriters.
Truth and justice, It's not fair,
Right here, Left there,
Come 'round, Go square,
Either way baby, I don't care.
I want to hold you tight,
I want to lock you up,
I want to tie you down,
I want to pick you up,
In a flat world, flat world, flat word, it's a flat world.
Flat world, flat world, flat world, it's a flat world.
Hot mustard, cool ice,
Fixed result, roll the dice,
Truth be told, pack of lies,
Raw fish and white rice.
I want to hold you tight,
I want to lock you up,
I want to tie you down,
I want to pick you up,
In a flat world, flat world, flat word, it's a flat world.
Flat world, flat world, flat world, it's a flat world.
So close, miles away,
Don't talk, just say,
Bright night, today,
I love you, my babe.
I want to hold you tight,
I want to lock you up,
I want to tie you down,
I want to pick you up,
In a flat world, flat world, flat word, it's a flat world.
Flat world, flat world, flat world, it's a flat world.
Truth and justice, it's not fair,
Right here, left there,
Come 'round, go square,
Either way baby, I don't care.
I want to hold you tight,
I want to lock you up,
I want to tie you down,
I want to pick you up,
In a flat world, flat world, flat word, it's a flat world.
Flat world, flat world, flat world, it's a flat world.
« Is new X icon supposed to look so grungy? I realized that it’s actually profound perfection. Because with its distressed background, the iOS app icon finally gives the world’s premiere edgelord a perfectly absurd graphic style—and a mirror. The scuffed-up icon, which was previously available to “X Premium” subscribers, works as a metaphor for his dinged and damaged platform. Perhaps even better than #Musk realizes. » #Twix#Xicon#grunge#iOS#app

What's up with what's going down
In every city, in every town
Thrifting styles is the plan
We got jean jackets in each hand
When we thrift from the dead
🎵
"Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath"
Think you don't know what qualifies as alternative fashion? I'm here to tell you that you do! Every time you notice someone's outfit being unique and different, you have identified alternative fashion. As said in the title, this is a massive category with an infinite amount of subcategories....

What makes a look alternative? Just ask yourself: do you see the day to day average person wearing this? No? Does it catch your eye for being different? Yes? Then it is likely alternative fashion! This category is massive.
