I was in a daze throughout much of the 90's. Having gone through some major hard stuff in the late 80's and early 90's, grunge was just my ticket to shove it back in the faces of the right wing jerks who made my life a living hell back then. It has gotten better since then. I think to a degree they fear punk rock and women who play guitar almost as much as they fear gay people. Just like the repugs to keep any good music from gathering any steam and booting them again. They know it was connected. If you look at the trends:

Vietnam:
hippy music protesting the war, popular
Late 70's:
mainstream, disco, underground but still there enough to make headlines, punk
80's:
Reagan/Bush, materialism, cocaine/superiority complex, shallowness, greed, undercurrent protesting it all but not getting press alternative
early 90's:
stale, something had to give
1992:
Bush the first calls generation x a bunch of sorry assed slackers, we got pissed
Kurt Cobain and grunge come along and says something back at him, we voted Clinton in to rid ourselves of all that bullshit Reagan/Bush crap
1994:
Cobain dies. Courtney gets slandered. Movement loses steam. Generation x splits into factions, one folds and gets really boring really quick and forgets, the other faction goes underground again and takes being unpopular and hated because that is what we do best.
1998:
the advent of the Lewinsky witch trials and the whole rap/metal anti-women music scene mixed with
1999:
11 rapes at Woodstock and a total backlash against grunge, punk and the Democratic Party in general. Even Democrats lamblasted each other and unfortunately the bleeding hasn't stopped. It's still happening. When are they going to figure it out?
2000:
I think we know what kind of blasphemy was fed to us like horse shit from then until now, don't we? More war, more shit music and more msm right wingers than we know what to do with.

Too bad I don't have that book I used to have. I lost it in the move unfortunately. It may be for the best that I no longer have it. It was about the CIA and MSM. Yes, there is a connection between MSM, music, and politics. That is all I can say at this point. If I still had that book, I'd quote it. It was an old army manual about psychological warfare that I found.
