Speaking as a child of the 90's...

as the layered bite of stone's guitar crunches down

and eddie makes words catalyze passion

I relive the fractured innocence of

a decadent decade.

a generation's hopes couched

in anger and disbelief

ephemeral geniuses cut short

by blade of unsought fame

we had a voice that spoke

to the world with words of our own

unrestrained and undefined by

the boundaries of commercial creation

a sound unsullied

by that so-perfect production

raw emotion unhindered

by your fucking expectations.
