I've seen this occur before. I was well into grungy guitar music, ever
before Grunge really became an accepted label for it. I saw Nirvana
support Sonic Youth at a gig of 250 people about 2 months before Bleach
came out. They made a good impression on the local music scene, and
Bleach
was very popular. As soon as smells like teen spirit came along,
everyone
started talking about how crap nirvana were etc.. all the muzos started to
get deeped and deeper into obscurer music. I guess some people need their
individuality confirmed in their tastes and expression, which is fair
enough.
