What’s in the basket?
I was thinking, and a lot of what helped retire the hair metal era IMO was stale songwriting...intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, verse, breakdown, chorus, outro...the world was just ready for something different. People like Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder related to millions of kids who were ready for something “deeper”, as corny as it may have seemed to me. Was their music complex with shredding riffs...no. Were they a fake fad generated by MTV...no...
