Thanks for sharing your NEVERMIND experience Brady. I like how you said the album was a soundtrack for a particular time for you. I often feel that way about various albums.

Nice post on the NEVERMIND article. That album also brings me to a time of new beginnings and new ways of thinking and discovery. I don’t think I was ever as moved or inspired with emotion as you were Jason, but I was certainly taken by the album and the expression, attitude and grungy revolution that was started by Nirvana and others. I had just moved from my parents house in the country and was just starting university in the big city….living on my own, working a part time job…. The music of this album was the soundtrack to that amazing time of newly found freedom and discovery, mixed in with youthful restlessness and social anxiety. It’s nice to hear your personal connection to the music and that moment it time as well..

Thanks Yoshio. I used to have a “Smurf blue” cardigan as well, but that may either be lost or in storage in Florida.

hey, enjoyed the well-written NEVERMIND article. i was in 9th grade
when it came out, i remember getting very excited listening to it, a
young kind of restless and a bit confused by everything excitement. i
still get that rush, although not as strong.

i don’t identify with NEVERMIND or nirvana the way you do, but i agree
that of all bands/groups they were/are the most influential of our
generation. i had a very mild “grunge” stage myself, and recognize it
was inspired by nirvana. looking forward to the cardigan this autumn.
