As if someone born on December 31st 1999 wouldn't self identify as a 90's kid

Source: I was born in 1998 and I'm nostalgic of Nirvana, a group that disbanded before I was born

If you read your history books you'll find it was a little more than just disbanded.

First time I heard what happened, it really blew my mind.

Yeah, it really left a hole in the music world.

I hear that a shotgun was involved or something like that? I guess they were always arguing about who would sit in the front of the bus and it got so bad they just stopped playing

I mean, they could have replaced Cobain and continued. But they decided to disband instead.

Technically, they could have. But it wouldn't have really been Nirvana without Cobain. It was pretty much Cobain's cult of personality. If they had tried to continue without him, it would have been another one of those bands that starkly contrasts between before and after and the comment above would have been about never knowing Nirvana in its heyday.

Even if the continuation was good (and Dave Grohl is proof that there was enough talent for it in the rest of the band), it would have still been tainted by the lack of Cobain.

I was born in the 80's but never have I ever considered myself an "80's kid", because that's not really a meme, as much as all "only 90's kids will remember".

There's like a 30-year span of 90s kids.
