Who were the musical enemies of young punk rockers during the early 80’s? I will tell you, fucking hair metal posers! I’m from Los Angeles, so we did not have to go very far to see what we thought were just feeble little humans – all you had to do was to go up to the Sunset Strip. We hated them and they hated us; we thought to ourselves, how could we put an end to their existence? Actually, we didn’t have the power to stop them, but the hardcore movement planted the seeds for the next movement to be born, which was Rosemary’s baby to the hair metal losers. From the graveyard of the of the 80’s punk scene rose what the media would label as Grunge. Whenever you see a documentary about 80’s metal, they always cite the rise of Seattle music as their death nail! The one band that changed the face of pop culture and music at the same time was Nirvana. 20 years last week marked the anniversary of their ground breaking record, Nevermind. So CVLT Nation has decided to celebrate this band’s contribution to music as we know it with a huge video essay. Get your love buzz on after the jump, and zone into some rad footage!
