He was a little too skinny for me from the heroin use, but his face was hnnnnggg. RIP. It's too bad he got involved with Courtney Love and drugs and ended up getting killed by someone she hired.

and yet he dated the ugliest trashiest female alive

had, til he blew it off

Grunge blackpill

"blows my mind "

He was good looking for sure and his music was amazing, sad he offed himself

Most of the time the leader singer is the best looking of the group its funny how that works.

His too. Literally

Yup. Same with Layne Staley, the lead singer for Alice in Chains. I was in college in the early 90s so thinking of these guys makes me sad. I actually talked to my classmates before we walked into class because no one was staring down at their phones. Then I went back to get my masters in 2004 and everyone was talking on their cell phones or texting and no one talked to each other. It's so much worse now with smartphones. The music was great, the movies were great, people were happier. It was the GOAT decade.

I remember where I was when I heard that Kurt Cobain died, as he was considered the voice of our Generation X. I was driving my 1969 bug home from college when I heard that he died on the radio. I can remember the highway and the off ramp, too.

Whats sad is when Layne died there was no media mention it was like just a news brief but it wasnt like when Kurt died.

Alice in Chains another amazing group, grunge era was so fun

do you ever get that butterflies feeling or lump in your throat sadness when thinking of the 90s and your youth? I do it gets sad for me because of the clown era we live in, things were still good up to around 2010ish past that it went down hill with this shallow sick culture with no more great rock bands and evertying degen low iq mumble rap that makes no sense.

What, did people think he was a good guitarist or something? It was all Chadsthestics.

I know. I didn't even know Layne died until later. He just died a slow death and holed himself in his apartment for years doing drugs and playing video games.

I'm a huge AIC fan.

It's ironic that you mention that. I just emailed someone earlier today that listening to 90s music last night while driving home from work made me sad because I remember how nice it was before clown world. I was so busy being a Mom from 2004 until now that it was kind of a blur that clown world and clown music emerged. I had lost interest in music until my daughter started playing grunge in her room a few years ago and then I realized how much I missed 90s music so I started creating playlists and reading up a lot about Layne Staley in particular.

There are no real rock stations anymore on the radio. We had one alternative station that I liked when I got bored of my play lists but it just changed to 80s music. The other rock stations are classic rock so you get a mix and I get tired of the older music.

So yes, now it's just mumble rap and pop singers. Sigh.

Music used to be a good outlet for ugly people who wanted to pour their soul into their work. Because it was about what the listener heard rather than saw. But thanks to the MTV era and ever since, it became more important what people saw aka the rise of Chadsthetics.
