As a fellow Gen Zer I feel like there is a generational gap. I want to see if I'm trippin or there actually is one.

I saw Nirvana in '92. It was nothing special, sorry.

No need to apologise. You're allowed to be wrong.

-- In case it's not clear, that's a joke. I feel like "smart ass" needs a tag like sarcasm has (/s).

It's not really a controversial opinion that they were often awful live. This particular concert (and their only concert ever in Denmark) can be found on Youtube.

what bands do you like then?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I do like Nirvana, which only embiggens the disappointment. I saw Pearl Jam on the same festival and they were awesome.

Last month I saw Beth Gibbons (Portishead singer), Metallica twice and went to the Copenhell metal festival (saw too many bands there to mention). This morning I bought tickets to The Flaming Lips. Tonight I'll be seeing Rammstein. Tomorrow a one-day ticket to the Roskilde Festival with the wife, where I'll be seeing PJ Harvey, Myrkur, probably Jane's Addiction and then whatever.

I guess that is a pretty good representation of my taste in music and also an explanation of why I'm broke.

I appreciate your perfectly cromulent use of the word "embiggens", here.

Thank you

Thanks for taking me on a search journey… to appreciate Beth, and Portishead beyond Dummy. Please do recommend any specific highlights. I’ll be going through their (and her) albums now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

She has only released two albums (there could some she collabbed on that I'm not aware of): Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man - Out of Season and her recent solo album Lives Outgrown.

It's not as dark as Portishead and the music is more minimalistic, some of it may be closer to acoustic/folk, but she sings beautifully. If you get the chance to see her live, you should go. During the concert they covered a single Portishead song and the tears were literally streaming down my face.

Another tip: If you like Portishead, you should also give the Goldfrapp album Felt Mountain a listen.
