In every generation Carlos posted - it was full of sheep. Hell it could easily be argued by the words of his post and some of the timeline issues that he too is/was just a sheep and only hopped onto things after they were big. Example hip hop hitting American suburbs in the 80's when it started in the 70's, grunge getting footholds in the mid 80's and not the mid nighties, so forth. To say it in simple words - not until after heavy play and everyone else thinking it is already cool.

I'm talking about POP culture, something that is popular, someone has to enable it so it becomes popular, it has to receive space in the media. I'm mentioning years when it got mass popularity.
If you so want to talk about me, I don't know why - let's take an example - When Nirvana came out I was a kid living in the ass of the world, so how could I figure out there were Settle bands before all that? There was NO internet at that time and I guess we didn't even have private tv channels at that time yet, no satellite, nothing.
The first tape I ever received was Guns n Roses "Use Your Illussion I" holy shit I love that record by today, of course partly through the eyes of a nostalgy BUT even after I heard some 2 500 records more over the years it STILL kicks ass and they sold MILLIONS of copies of that album worldwide.
I'm talking POP culture, something that you CAN find in media.
And believe, after I had in my hands a contract from Sony BMG I know that those bands I mentioned as unique COULDN'T sign anything like that, or they wouldn't sound like them but they would sound like all those castrated, politically corrected, overpolished pseudo rock bands that get their time out there now to try to hypnose others that it's rock.
So what's your point again?
I say it's the BIG LIE theory now, those bands are artificially stylized to fill 40 minutes of airtime a day with politically correct bullshit.
