I was in LA, in a rented van with a church youth group on one of those conscience-soothing type help the needy trips. We were listening to KROQ and the DJ interrupted a music set to deliver the terrible news they had just received.
When finished, he went back to music and the next track in queue was Beck's 'Loser'. The DJ quickly stopped it, apologized saying that was just what was in the queue, and picked a different track. I don't remember what songs played before or after that, but that little gaffe is the main reason I remember where I was when I heard Kurt had been found dead.
Much as I love Lana there’s a reason she headlined the 2nd stage at Glastonbury last year.

Coachella was the gold standard of music festivals. Has it lost its shine?
Tickets are still available for Coachella's second weekend ahead of its start on Friday. Here's why the once-coveted ticket isn't quite so hot anymore.

I saw the B-52's and royal crown review in the 90s and met at least 1 lady who claimed this stance.

Probably about the same.
I have met one person who made this claim. It was strange because everything else I heard him speak enthusiastically about was stoner rock and doom metal.

Same. Along with my 10 year old.
For them, it’s a result of liking Dude Perfect and other Trick Shot YouTubers.
They ask me to listen to the Dude Perfect channel in the car all the time, and I just take a deep breath and remember the awful stuff I listened to. Gotta let them find their own interests.
But man does that generic wall of indecipherable noise just cut through me. I much prefer having the two year old daughter listen to Disney Soundtracks (Frozen, Brave, Toy Story, etc)
I can't find the original tweet and don't remember who posted it, but I remember a tweet that said "When I imagine dragons, I don't imagine them listening to Imagine Dragons." Wording may not be 100% correct, but however it was said, I laughed a lot.
Ridiculous as it sounds their stock would probably be higher if Cosmic Thing and associated singles hadn’t been such big sellers.
Far as I can tell they were the first rock act to do a remix album.

This is how dads in the 80s felt when their kids liked Poison.

Gotta hand it to dads in the 80s. Nailed it.

But who am I to talk. I listened to Sevendust's album Home in its entirety on the way home from work. Was big for me in high school and ya know, it still rocks. Soulful nu-metal 4ever.
