First..."they were basically just scrawny professional wrestlers with guitars"

WoW...did you nail that...I worked for this one band where the two guitarists and bass player WITH instruments would not have tipped the scales over 400 lbs....for real...3 guys....

I went to school in WI, 90 miles from the Twin Cities and I could be at 1st Avenue Night Club....in less then an hour and twenty minutes...this is the time in the 80's when Minneapolis was the Seattle of the 90's...
So the Suburbs, Replacements, Soul Asylum, Husker Du, Gear Daddies, and Prince....all playing at 1st Ave...all having some form of video on the super hep....need I say...MTV...

plus seeing the Police, U2, Pretenders, Rush, Tom Petty, Bruce, Simple Minds, The Fixx, The Dead, Bob Dylan, the Clash,Los Lobos....any other traveling show that came through the Twin Cities...discovering Jazz also during this time...

This was my escape from....big hair, bad keyboards, toooo many drums in the kit, full stacks of Marshall's in a bar where one 12" Fender amp would kill it....

Ok, it wasn't all bad, BUT running live sound and seeing as many LIVE shows as I could, in as many different venues as I could, standing by the sound board 85% of the time gave me my passion for music and GREAT sound...

Second...."but the 90's, as far as I can tell, just added unnecessary seriousness and sanctimony to the silliness"

Yea, I can agree with this also....I did love how Nirvana killed the hair bands with 3 chords, Pearl Jam 11 and Sound Garden I liked too...but their later efforts never captured the strong song writing of their earlier material....

My most influential album from that era was and is Pretty Hate Machine,
NIN....that album started the Industrial Genre....still blows me away that it was made on 1991 Mac....He made sounds that never existed...except somewhere in our memories...dare I say...My personal Dark Side of Moon.....

Third....the whole movie was an insult to my least favorite part of the musical 80's, compounded by casting....please....less movie montage is better for us as a country....it will save a child....
