I still feel like The Youngest ILXor sometimes and I'm almost 27 now.

ilm is ilxors who care enough about 90s alt-rock to click on a thread entitled "early-90s alt-rock vs. late-90s alt rock" are now majority 30+

(though I was surprised too)

i'm not surprised -- really, i've always kind of taken it as an article of faith that the first half of the 90s was the better one wr2 music than the second and not surprised about the age either. it is kind of interesting and shocking to be reminded that lots of us are now old folk, though.

So it's clearly not just 30+ ilxors who think it was better

Of course, an 80s alt-rock vs 90s alt-rock would almost definitely be a win for the 80s, since the 80s is ILM's canonic decade.

pfunk, was mostly talking about the #s of over 30s vs. under 30s, not their choices

it will be interesting to watch the 90s become more lionized over the course of the next decade or so. assuming that the 20-year lag still applies.

we already have a (rather great) ace of base sounding-ass song in the billboard top ten so
