the early/mid 90s alternative songs that follow are the epitome of my early adolescent years. recently ive discovered im not the only one that shares a nostalgic love for the music that makes me feel 12 again. not that a lot of it is even good, musically. but if you listened to "alternative radio" and this is what you grew up with then you know what im talkin bout. can you think of a band or song i didnt add? email me and let me know.
