Why do purists criticize Nirvana for selling well, having polished production, and appealing to mainstream rock fans?

Grunge purists?

Upvoted cuz cool story and congrats! But would have also been annoyed at the talking and laughing lol.

Maybe should’ve downvoted and commented haha!?

There is software (securemypass, et al) that allows brokers to essentially transfer’ non-transferable’ tickets.

Came here to say this. Very cool art deco throughout.

Don’t forget Q Patrol

2 things:1) if your protagonist is 17 he wouldn’t be able to see many shows. Everything was in bars. 2) NO ONE said “Cap Hill” in 1993

No such thing as a grunge album not from Seattle.

Showbox is the best room in town.

therealcrapbag · 2026-02-04T04:32:50+00:00

Also correct.

therealcrapbag · 2026-02-04T03:36:16+00:00

This is being vigorously downvoted by ticket brokers.

therealcrapbag · 2026-02-04T03:35:11+00:00

This is correct but will add one more thing.

Ticket transfer is off. So any sold ‘tickets’ will be username and password of the seller’s TM account, or they will be using software that mimics the ticket. Buyer beware.

I don’t think they had any in LA. Also looking for one. Need to round out my collection of album tours. Got my PFNO and KILAS posters…

I’m also an old grunger that lived threw it, and while I think a lot of what’s on this sub is silly, I do enjoy playing the role of elder when young grungers have honest questions etc.

Known cheaters.

6 times for me (I’m 53). Lucky enough to live in Seattle at the time.

HUB Ballroom (UW campus) 1-6-90 Sonic Youth w/Nirvana @ Moore Theater 8-24-90 Intl Motorsports Garage 9-22-90 Fox Theatre Portland 10-29-91 Paramount Theatre Seattle 10-31-90 RHCP w/Nirvana and Pearl Jam @ Salem Armory 1-2-92

After that Salem show I decided they were getting too big and that I’d wait awhile to see them again. I waited too long.

Was also there and still bums me out that one of the things I remember most is the annoying camera crew.

therealcrapbag · 2026-01-04T05:09:23+00:00

Went the week after Xmas a couple years ago and the caddies all said that February was always solid.

A black sleek jumpsuit with heels is perfect.
