This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I love Nirvana and was a huge fan immediately... But....I think people overestimates their reach. Me and my altern-rock friends were marginalized at our school. I'd say less than 5% of the kids at my high school were into the grunge scene. Most of them listened to Eurodance and pop, hip-hop was starting to become mainstream. People kind of knew of them because of MTV, but most started to listen when Kurt Cobain died.

You think you were in the minority? My jam in high school was Devo, Wall of Voodoo, Oingo Bingo and Laurie Anderson. That kind of music wasn't very popular in Fayetteville, Arkansas...

You don't seem too familiar with the concept of minority lol.
