Those apparently led the way to more focus on rock acts signed with smaller, independent labels that we see today. /music nerdishness When grunge died, there was a resurgence of lo-fi indie music acts: Pavement, Sebadoh, Liz Phair, etc. hit bigtime (and smaller acts gained notoriety).

Most of the music I listened to in '99 was played on 99X which would have played pretty much none of the songs that ended up in the top 100. Bleh... hakeber/duane, yeah, I wasn't saying that '99 was part of the grunge era, just that I remember a lot more rock coming out post-grunge... I guess it just wasn't 'popular' enough to make the top of the charts. Greg, point made.

The music changed, but it was never so mainstream anyway. Yeah, I was thinking the same as Rebekah, the grunge thing was in the early 90s, and pretty much “died” when Kurt Cobain did.
