Entertain Us: The Rise and Fall of Alternative Rock in the Nineties by Craig Schuftan

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


The anti-white self-loathing of this author is embarrassing (albeit somewhat comical), and there is no mention of the two most interesting alternative music scenes of the 1990s, namely Black Metal and the various World Serpent-distributed groups.

One wonders if the whole ‘self-loathing proto-SJW grunge’ vs. ‘sex-crazed 80s hair rockers’ thing isn’t somehow reflective of the protestant/catholic divide, which in turn reflects deeper tendencies in the European soul…I say that because most of the grunge singers are Nordic-looking, whereas bands like Bon Jovi and Motley Crue have southern European genetic make up (Vince Neil is half Mexican).

Simplification, but maybe a grain of truth to it; perhaps someone with time could investigate further?
