"I think I knew that Nirvana had crossed over into the mainstream when I found their MTV Unplugged CD in my stepmom's van. I mean, she's cool but not *that* cool."
-Jackie Fuller, "Teenage Kicks" radio show on The Current
Funny cos from the DIY punk scene perspective they were so mainstream by the time anyone outside of Seattle started listening to them, but yeah. Friends' hipster hippie parents (the ones who always wanted to hang with the kids) ruined many a band this way...
It's fun getting to play that role now... Except that 80s stuff is deemed *their* stuff now... And not quite ironic or kitsch as that kind of reclaiming should be... Alt pop culture is weird right now.
