christ, there's a lot of people missing the zietgeist of the time; the 90s grunge and other dark music if the time reflected the purchasing power of a whole generation of about 44 million people (us) that were at best neglected by their boomer parents. neglect was the best they had, many had worse. launched into the beginning of their adult lives with the goddamn aids crisis and the clear and complete absurdity of the life-script the boomers were pushing (pensions had already blew up in private industry) left a lot of room for undirected frustration and off-boomer-script experimentation. (lol @ scatman's top single). we, genx, had money and were willing to spend it .. but i think the music jews were utterly confused by us until 2000 when they started manufacturing music.
