Wait, (and I'm gonna regret this) how is Nirvana bad?
Not saying they're bad. Saying they were the breakthrough next step that took it from over-,the-top to a stripped down something completely different.
The trend (before them) was to a point where everyone was trying to out-hairband everyone else and there just wasn't any hair left/nowhere else to go with it. They broke the trend and took it a completely different direction.
Whether that's for better or worse is an opinion, the fact that it happened is not.
I think truck design is at a point that is one or two steps away from "none more hair". There's a little more to exploit but the point at which it's run its course and something completely anti-current trend is coming sooner rather than later.
Lots of Cinderella, Warrant, and Poison out there because the formula still works, for now.
Nirvana, STP, and Pearl Jam are coming. Probably already in the works. Market timing says jump too early you'll be a nothing, jump too late you'll be just another _________. Hit it right and you'll define the (sound, truck style, whatever) of a generation.
