re: #730 Walter L. Newton

A decade can be defined by bad music. There was nothing musically original or unique about the band, and the musicianship was bland, repetitive and juvenile.

As an entertainer, he made some points. That’s it. If those two songs are remembered for anything, it will simply be a bullet point for explaining where pop music started to go wrong in the 90’s.

Doesn’t have to be good or bad. It can simply be about being at the right place at the right time. Hence Warhol. Cobain. I don’t think either of them are the top geniuses in their field, but they created art that resonated with people and that’s all it has to do.
