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 saw them before they exploded into fame, and absolutely couldn't imagine that music becoming popular. There were like 30 people at the show, they were touring in a little van, all the way to Florida! My little brother's friend had given me a tape with a bunch of grunge bands on it, Tad and Mudhoney and Nirvana among them so when they came to play here I went.

Was absolutely dumbfounded when they started getting radio play, it was so different from everything else being played on the radio.

I think I'm probably older than most of you - it's hard to overstate how weird and countercultural this music sounded before it became the norm.
