Comment:

With gravity-defying hair and circulation-cutting spandex unofficially banned at the start of the '90s, rock was ready for a revival of sorts — a do-it-yourself middle ground between sold-out stadiums and barely legal basement shows. Generation X quickly found its anxiety and angst reflected in the bruised pop singles of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, and Smashing Pumpkins, but the decade was about more than just grunge. For one thing, "alternative rock" was repped by a countless subgenres and overnight scenes, including Britpop (Oasis, Blur), nü-metal (Limp Bizkit, Korn), pop-punk (Green Day, the Offspring), and even a tinge of ska-inspired SoCal tunes (No Doubt, Sublime). And then there were the rock 'n' roll icons that refused to give new-blood bands too much room for world domination — from Guns 'n' Roses at its peak to U2 in its [i]Achtung Baby[/i] phase.
