re: #211 windsagio

Its like saying nothing written is original because we’re all using the same letters, and often the same words and grammar.

I’m not taking such an absolutist position at all. I got started on this tangent because I was disagreeing with someone’s take that Nirvana is just recycled shit. Virtually all art owes some debt to a predecessor. But that doesn’t mean it’s crap or unoriginal. I actually think Nirvana helped revolutionize, or at least revitalize, rock over the last two decades, despite their brief life span.
