Grunge is Dead – Radio Just Doesn’t Know Yet

I’m sure everyone rightfully believes the title of this post.  So, why does mainstream “alternative” radio continue to beat us over the head with grunge bands from the ’90s?  Seriously?  I don’t often listen to 101.5 here in Austin for the simple fact that their most often played bands are Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc.  I liked those bands a lot back in the day, but that was 15 Years Ago!  I don’t ever want to hear those songs on a station that is supposed to be playing new alternative music again.  I’ll add Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots & the Red Hot Chili Peppers to the list of stuff I don’t want to hear anymore.  They are done.  Their songs have been played.  To Death!  It is really a shame how much better Bob FM is than 101X.  What a joke. Seriously, I turned on the radio the other day and the first two stations I checked were playing Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots.  Maddening!
