[QUOTE="payn, post: 8603288, member: 90374"] Very nice! Im an amateur expert at best, take what I say with a grain of salt and through the lens of a super fan of music. All genres tend to sprout as a response to something else. Black Sabbath, Steppenwolf, and Led Zeppelin were riffing off other styles and doing backlashing of their own. The next generation likely had their own criticisms of their music and general style too. Likely, some not so flattering too. Critics, shop keeps, and most fans might feel like they need lines in the sand when it comes to bands. I like looking at the influence and seeing the progression. Where are they getting this sound? What are they rebelling against? Bands like Soundgarden are so interesting because they are on the cusp of a pop culture genre change.
