Weird thing is the early-2000s renaissance seems to include a renaissance of the VH1-ass, played-it-on-‘90s-alternative-radio '80s stuff we actually grew up with, not just the stuff we were showing off as an influence at the time

I think that’s partly because the most famous grunge stuff started getting played on the Classic Rock stations, which means everybody now thinks of it as Music Dads Listen To.

I’m kinda more talking about the '80s stuff they counted as “alternative” and played on an alternative radio format that was birthed after their release, I hadn’t really been hearing that much since the 90s
