Why i am Pearl Jamite?

Till the early '90s, glam rock bands like Poison and Warrant dominated the music scene which was characterized by explosive but stupid guitar solos with gals, gals,gals, gals headbanging leading to sick chaos. Rock was dead...no not yet ,it was a circus as popular as the Russians.
Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden exploded into the scene with a new religion -Grunge.This Seattle based band pulled the plug on all the glam rock and nonsense, restoring genuine passion, dignity and meaning to rock.Their unkempt appearance, gruff voice, and grinding, minimalist guitar style were far removed from the perfectly coiffed pretty boys who dominated rock and roll in the Eighties. Seattle came to be known other than just "Boeing".

It was 1993 and I was in IX Standard when Nirvana hit Nagaland. The second greatest thing to happen in Nagaland other than the arrival of Christianity 100 years back. Tracing back history and spectacular growth of the grunge scene from my school campus where we use to exchange Nirvana and Pearl Jam cassettes, lyrics and posters. We use to sing "come as you r as...", "Evenflow thoughts arrive like...." which still lingers in my mind till now. Some might say that we need to move on with other genre of music as time-pass by but "Its the world that i live in those days were too heavy, just the things that i have save is too big".. The road for grunge may be becoming lonely just because it's not paved regularly but with fans like me will keep the legacy alive.
