Back to 90s

Are we back at 90s or has 90s returned to us? Or 90s just never left us at all. That’s the point, surely.

I do not mean the great rock bands of the decade. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Pixies, Alice in Chains, MBV, Mudhoney, NIN, even Melvins… they released recently albums. Some of them after a long time in silence. But I do not mean that. Many of them refuse to get off the stage, so they can not return.

I speak of the new blood. The young bands that recover those sounds, in a more or less veiled way. Some “rookie” bands that makes me go back to my adolescence. It is not a case of a simply “remembering” act, isn’t a question of revival music. They speak the language of those years like just-arrived guys from another era. As if they really have traveled back in time. Nowadays tunes that would have been huge in 90’s MTV ( Do you remember when MTV put music videos, and you could hear grunge, powerpop , hardcore … ? )

The thing is that, at times, they can rejuvenate you 20 years and let you feel similar sensations, or what remains of them. Something that many of the survivors, 30 years on the road later, fail at.

Here are some examples:
