Nuking was more of a theme in the 80's.. The Future is so Bright.. End of the World as We Know It.. 99 Red Balloons.. Party at Ground Zero

It seemed like Sublime was played just as much if not more than 311.

Sublime is the herpes on 90s bands. They were inescapable.


Though the point that the early 90s and late 90s were like different decades is pretty accurate. The "Alternative Nation" ended very badly. Nirvana is a road that eventually ends at Limp Bizkit. How did that happen?

It may define the 90's for you, but not for many. I associate 311 with growing up, so yeah, it's a pretty big part of the 90's for me.

Besides Benjamin Button, just about everyone grew up during the 90s that was born by then.

Phish had the biggest concert in the world on 12.31.99 (100,000 at Big Cypress,FL).

Phish has sold out Madison Square Garden 35 times beginning in 1994.

Phish's festivals that they developed in the 1990s were the biggest influence on today's festival blueprint.

Phish pioneered the current model of bands making more on the road than on album sales.

I always have trouble detecting when you and danman are serious or not.

That wouldn't even make Top 20 attendence records of the 90's lol.


It was the biggest concert on that day, which as the turning of the millennium was a pretty important day.

Oasis defined the 90s for me. 311 was a factor, though.

Although i disliked 311, the OP makes a decent point. Rap/Hip Hop was huge in the 90s, and part of 311s popularity was because they blended elements of rap with rock. Grunge music defined the early 90s, but the mid to late 90s was dominated by the hybrid bands.

Regarding sublime, I think people these days listen to sublime way more than 311, but that wasn't the case back in the 90s.

In my mind Nirvana swung the pendulum, but Pearl Jam held it there with the help of Soundgarden.
