I've never heard of The Wipers, so your view may be right. My interest in grunge was mild, at best.
Maybe lull wasn't the right word. More like, a transitional period. Rap was gaining steam, and was beginning to show up in some melded version of metal. Pop, metal and rap were all sort of intertwining, so nobody really knew just
what they were lisening to.
Nirvana was a clear cut change from what was on the radio.
Perhaps The Wipers needed better promotion.
