I'm not even sure what the appeal ever was.<br /><br />And I was wearing plaid back in 1984, but the flannel thing is all grunge. Docs rule!<br /><br />@ Julie: My favorite song remains "Territorial Pissings" (I didn't make up the title) just because it's loud and fast and short. Work out to that.<br /><br />@ Doug: I actually broke out the flannels (two, because you have to tie one around your waist) and 15 eyelet Docs for a throwback dress up day during our school's homecoming week. I should have taken a picture. <br /><br />Maybe I can find an old photograph around here somewhere.

And I do suspect that I started the whole look myself.

I'm curious, seeing how I look at teen trends from a teacher's point of view.<br /><br />@ Kev: Definitely all three of those bands influenced Nirvana. Where are their accolades? Husker Du was certainly one of the best punk bands that didn't get much credit until after the fact.<br /><br />@ Natalie: I like Eddie Vedder's attitude, but never really liked Pearl Jam's music. I did like his score to the movie Into the Wild. <br /><br />@ darev: Seriously. The whole band, on the floor. Audience in a daze. Or is that just the drugs?<br /><br />I saw several shows by shoegazer bands, actually, and they all pretty much rocked the house loud, despite their laconic demeanor.Brent Wescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313269993916969201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772006307472464943.post-6328347719403760422011-10-04T11:26:53.168-06:002011-10-04T11:26:53.168-06:00Fuzzy shoegazers.
