Only Shirley Manson could front a band called Garbage. Back in the mid 90s she was one of my style inspirations. Actually, she still is. While she was in an alternative rock band, her style was rooted in grunge. I love her smeared eyeliner, fishnets, and Dr. Martens. Ok…girl crush status.
Here she is at the H&M for Marni event just a few days ago..looking awesome.

One of the first things I think of when I hear the decade 90s is “alternative rock”. With that Perry Farrell comes into play. Aside from Nirvana and the whole grunge scene that was well on its way out when I became a teen, there was this ever emerging world of alternative rock that sprouted. Jane’s Addiction, fronted by Perry Farrell was one of the bands on the forefront of it all.
Between the ever infectious “Been Caught Stealin” to the lush soundscape of “Mountain Song”, its clear they are going to take you on a journey. Perry is such a crazy outlandish frontman and I just love the vibe he exudes.
Let’s take a journey and listen to the man behind alternative rock. And oh yeah, he invented Lollapalooza. So there.
and one of my favorites: “Jane Says” live version

Ok, now I know this isn’t a typical edition of a grunge type blog but I just had to post about my college crush, Adam Lazzara of Taking Back Sunday.This famous emo frontman could just do no wrong. Known mostly for his mic swinging antics, which I witnessed a few times. He looked his best back in the early 2000′s. Let’s take a journey to my favorite photos of him…
Also, if you have never heard of Taking Back Sunday then check out the video at the bottom of this post. And oh yeah. You’re welcome.
Ugh..Adam and Tom Delonge.

On one of my favorite blogs Violet Pills Inc, I came across this awesome post all based around color. Coincidentally it was named after one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs as well. I’ve decided to follow suit and compose a post here based around a color as well. I’ve been feeling stressed lately so instead of calming myself down I’m adding fuel to the fire so to speak.

One of my favorite icons in the 90s was Matthew Lillard. He still is as a matter of fact. From the crazy killer in “Scream” to the blue haired punk in “SLC Punk” he always captured my heart. Why can’t boys look like this again?
