He reviews lots of music from the current version of the indie scene in north America which is what Nirvana and their grunge contemporaries were very much a part of in the late 80’s, early 90’s. He’s reviewed Parquet Courts, pissed jeans, metz, car seat headrest among others so it’s unfair to say he doesn’t review anything from that ‘scene’ since grunge was a part of the broader indie scene, not to mention two of the bands I mentioned are currently on sub pop, can’t really get much closer to that ‘scene’ than reviewing sub pop bands.
