again, SLTS was allegedly what killed hair metal, I can turn on modern rock radio and hear kick start my heart. Is that blowing your mind right now? Since you can seem to wrap it around what i'm saying.

*sigh* You're ignoring half my posts and what I'm saying and only using stuff to make it sound I'm spitting ignorance. I've named dates, talked about the 'garage rock' movement the stripes kick started and it's effect on mainstream music. I've posted about bands and named singles and whatnot that were more successful and more of a movement and played on the radio more. I've cited stuff and explained my points, yet you ignore all that. You've just been running around making snide comments, riding up on your high horse and when you do come up with something legitimate to post, like how after a movement is dead bands can be successful you basically ignore everything I say and beat that to death. I'm aware after something is 'killed' it can still get played on the radio, but you have Nickelbacks, Seethers, Breaking Benjamins, Three Day Graces, Puddle of Mudds, Future Leads of the Worlds, etc that all still get attention, it's never been much of a movement but it isn't dead yet. Oh, Faith No More did more in "killing" hair metal did than Nirvana did anyway, they started the whole alternative-rock movement of the 90s basically which is what really killed hair metal.
I don't think one band can effectively kill a genre that was a trend, they can kick start it but it's the movement that actually kills it and if the White Stripes movement consisted of a few bands who weren't even that successful after their few hits and nu-metal had tons of bands, Cold, Static X, Slipknot, KoRn, Linkin Park, etc. It was a giant, quivering mass, whilst a few hip kids put a Strokes record on and pretended they were in the MC5.
I don't really know what "hell" you are even talking about, maybe you were just listening to alot of it but the rest of the world wasn't. They would rather have listened to angry white boy rap at the time then something that was so obviously over (I mean
post-grunge? That's not the name of a hip radio movement is it?) Maybe it dominated your radio, but that's just down to your own lack of musical depth at the time. I lived near Seattle and I managed to avoid hearing much post-grunge because it wasn't on the radio aside from the occasional hit song. Now I did hear alot of grunge when I'd listen to the alternative station but that's to be expected seeing as Seattle hasn't really gotten over the fact Cobains dead. Now I realize you're going to go on about how wrong this is but the simple fact is this. There was no post-grunge hell for the white stripes to deliver us from, Rage Against the Machine did that while KoRn was sh
itting out hit records and Fred Durst was sitting in his diamond studded pool.
