Huh?
Ever heard of the Misfits? It's a legendary horror punk band from the late 70s/early 80s that was once fronted by Glenn Danzig? They took their name from Marylin Monroe's last film. Anyways, I love the Misfits. I love all the old stuff and I love the newer stuff that they put out after Danzig left the band and Jerry and Doyle put the band back together in the mid 90s with front man Michale Graves. In fact I really love Michale Graves, he has an awesome voice. Whatever, I sense you are looking for the point of all this. Years ago when I was younger I fell in love with "American Psycho" one of their first CDs I ever bought. And my dad and I have always had similar music tastes, so I thought he may like it too. So one day we were going somewhere and I brought the CD with us so we could listen to it in his car. After a few songs I asked him what he thought. He said "It's a little too Grunge for me." I was like, "What?!" This is punk, pure and simple. What the fuck do you mean it's too grunge for you? So we end up listening to the radio instead and a Nirvana song comes on and my dad goes "This is a good song." and turns it up! When you think of grunge music who comes to mind? Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, fucking NIRVANA! And then a few weeks later he goes out and buys Soundgarden's "Down on the Upside" CD. That pissed me off so much. The Misfits are too grunge for you, but you like Nirvana and Soundgarden? 10 years later that still fucking bothers me.
