Naturally, not everyone would agree. Everyone’s got their own opinion about what good music is. Ask your grandparents, and they’ll tell you Louis Prima or Chet Baker were the last true musical talents. Your parents might say Led Zeppelin or the Clash. Skip to the next generation, and we’re all thinking about how we miss Kurt.
And then there are some, including your pals at the Alamo Drafthouse, that say music died once the dial flipped to the year 2000. But whether you think Y2K really did bring down a musical apocalypse or not, you might want to check out the Alamo Downtown’s '90s Alternative Sing-Along, presented this Thursday night.

This show had its first run last week, bit you've still got two more chances to relive the glorious days of grunge, nappy hair, and uberserious singers with all your favorite bands. Headbang along to their now-classic videos—it’s your own little Lollapalooza (Mini-palooza? Personal-pan-a-palooza? Hm, that needs work). Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Oasis, Weezer, and many others will all be there, reminding you what it was like to be young and full of unused potential, singing at the top of your lungs to the anthems of your misspent youth.
Hey, you know you can’t help but sing along when these songs come on Bob FM. Why not sing along at the top of your lungs without having to check your peripheral vision at the red lights? What could be better than having a hundred others singing along too? It’s a guilt-free run down memory lane. (Guilt-free-a-palooza…?) And if you weren’t there the first time, well, it’s time for a history lesson.
