Please refer to blog name for most accurate statement referring to today's fanbase. (not the title of this post)
It speaks for itself and I'm tempted have that alone as a second blog but I imagine it's not enough, so we'll go a bit further. You can't mention a band like Nirvana around people not expect to a couple of these situations: people who don't know much about them: "I've actually never listened to them" (at least they're honest) -internet trolls/idiots:" LOL DEY SUCK LEAD SINGER KILLED HIMSELF CURT-GO-BANG, CURT COCAIN", and the most common: person 1- "oh man I love their music, smells like teen spirit is amazing" (then the following happens) -person who also likes Nirvana and wishes to further discuss them* "cool what other songs do you like?" Person number 1:"uhhhhhhhhhhhhh" -and this is where my blog's title "smells like the only song you know" came from/comes into play as its usually the only song they know besides other big ones commonly listed like Lithium. There are people who don't actually care about the music, just looking cool because they "know" certain bands, very much how Mr.A refers to ACL and that its "Austin casual listener" (may be a couple words missing because I don't remember) and that people go to music festivals ACL particularly because "it's cool to be seen there" -Mr. A instead of being there for music itself, same goes for Nirvana or any other band: listen for music's sake and listen to the other great (or not great) songs they make. That's all for today (yes it's very ironic that I didn't even get to adress the music itself).
