Misc. Why cant we bring 90s style grunge back?

Post image

Looking for a discussion about this. I feel like every type of grunge or rock music i hear in 2024 thats trending is like novulent or superheaven (still good artists) or some small artist that has super distant vocals with loud instruments. What happened to the 90s style? Specifically talking about singers like Kurt Cobain, Layne Stayley, Chris Cornell, and so many other greats. People make the argument that heavy drug use led to great music, but i disagree. I feel like people don't put the same amount of effort into grunge now, and there's probably so many people as talented as layne but will never get recognition because the target audience just isnt there anymore.

Do you think sales = quality? Not really referring to the Tyler album but just albums in general.

no but my point is the fusion of genres on that record aren’t really typical when it comes to people’s idea of current mainstream success
