Sensing a time-based forensic piece, we jumped in the Official Spinner Tardis™ (which actually looks more like Pig Floyd's flying pig) and zapped backwards 20 years. When we got there we realized pretty quickly how embarrassing grungewear actually was as fashion.
But it also became crystal clear that the rise of the alternative nation -- officially marked by Nirvana's 'Nevermind' knocking Michael Jackson's 'Dangerous' off the chart top in January, 1992 -- sounded a lot like what's going on today.
We sifted through all the DNA evidence and found a number of undeniable family resemblances between various acts from 1992 and 2012. Here they are now, we hope they entertain you:
- Green Day + Wavves
- Depeche Mode + Austra
- Bjork + Lykke Li
- Helmet + Mastodon
- PJ Harvey + EMA
- Massive Attack + The Weeknd
- Snoop Dogg + Wiz Khalifa
- Butthole Surfers + F---ed Up
- New Order + Neon Indian
- Aphex Twin + Flying Lotus
- Red Hot Chili Peppers + Maroon 5
- Pearl Jam + Arcade Fire
- The Verve + Horrors
- Liz Phair + Best Coast
- Moby + Deadmau5
- The Breeders + Wild Flag
- GG Allin and the Murder Junkies + Monotonix
- The Jesus and Mary Chain + Crocodiles
- Wu-Tang Clan + Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All
- House of Pain + LMFAO

There is a saying like this "Only one himself knows if the shoes match his feet or not “。If u really love her /him, age ain't nothing but a number for these loved-up A-Listers. My BF and I both think so! He is almost 10 years older than I .We met via~~--Ａgeｌｅｓｓ'date . ℃○M .~~ a nice place for younger women and oldermen, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other! ,Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is not in your age group? If u are really interested in it, maybe u wanna check it out or tell your friends.
