Weezer’s puppydog-eyed debut became an instant classic among the junior high set. Hole’s Live Through This trounced everything coming out of Seattle. Kids needed a fresh alternative immediately, and beginning that spring, they got it. In the wake of Saint Cobain’s self-inflicted shotgun blast to the face, the miserable grunge fad was on its last legs, Pearl Jam fighting a futile war against the ticket bastards, Soundgarden lazily black hole sunning themselves on FM radio, and the singers for Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots shooting heaven knows what into their emaciated arms.
