Also, nevermind wasn't the only album. It was just the most famous. Which is actually one of the reasons for Kurts' decision (and please don't let anyone talk about his suicide- it was his choice, he made, who cares?)
LOL. I was in high school at the peak of the whole grunge thing, I realize that Nevermind wasn't the only grunge album. It was the album that made grunge big though.

Like I said, my surprise about younger grunge fans doesn't have anything to do with the idea of people listening to older music, I listen to plenty of music that's older than me myself. It's just that grunge was such a manufactured thing I find it amazing that it could appeal to anyone outside of the very narrow demographic that it was originally aimed at.
