I was looking for a DJ rich list and found this. I thought it was a parody at first - the Moby entry is particularly special.

Music is a very important part of life, music has the power to change a person’s mood in a blink of an eye, it is capable of making you smile, and it is also capable of making a person cry. Music can bring a person back to life, it can make you enthusiastic, and it can inspire you.

describing Monk as a singer gives the game away. It seems quite mean sneering at someone who is just making "content" and grappling with English as a 2nd language. I'd guess the author knows this is a load of shite, it is the hacks who purr away at their perceptiveness and ingenuity whilst talking a load of shite who deserve the real contempt.

What I'm saying is, to your average sixteen-year-old music fan in 1996, Nirvana and Sublime could be enjoyed all the same. I say this as a person who was sixteen in 1996, loved both bands and saw no difference between one and the other.
This person is as old as me and this opinion seems like it's from someone who can name more than five pokemons

I mean, I'll tell it like it is, I definitely banged some Sublime in 1996, I can't lie — and I can even still ride for 40 Oz. to Freedom, mostly as a conceptual triumph.
But to see no difference between them and Nirvana would have been the opinion of an insane person, even in 1996. And to not recognize that in hindsight as someone approaching 35 is either willfully blind or unabashed trolling
― dilligaf escape plan (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 8 August 2014 15:04 (nine years ago) link
yeah i dunno...i mean....i guess to me back then there were like Major bands (nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, RHCP) and then like tons of alt rock radio bands, but i didn't necessarily see sublime as a bigger deal than marcy playground or garbage or w/e
― ruffalo soldier (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 8 August 2014 15:08 (nine years ago) link
well, there were definitely 'sublime fans'. like, overlapping with the deadheads/phishheads who were also into alt rock and not just trapped in an alternate universe of tape-trading.
― j., Friday, 8 August 2014 15:12 (nine years ago) link
yeah i'm sure but i think for the average they weren't on the same level as nirvana

Sublime at the time felt to me like they had the same level of popularity as, say, Squirrel Nut Zippers, and I thought they'd vanish once the musical trend died down, and then I turned around and it had been like 10 years of randomly seeing Sublime t-shirts out in the wild and I was all "wait what the fuck happened here"

brad nowell is a kurt cobainesque tragic genius to a lot of people so i don't think the comparison is that ridiculous. i think the article is right about the politics of taste that cause people to make a point of hating sublime and their shallow, garbage music.
