>>122922210damn they're based
all of those generations have stars and people you would actually like, zoomers and gen alpha have what, lil mumbly nig?
>>122922210>Millennials>The Jackson 5 #1I actually can't take this seriously as a Millennial myself. That's so completely out of place it invalidates everything else.
>>122922210Prince earned those kids
Let's see your favorites, zoomershitstain
>>122922210>Gen X not having Nirvana which is weirdly in Gen Y>Gen Y starting out with the fucking Jackson 5>Baby Boomers topping out with Ray Charles and the TemptationsI don't believe this list for even half a second
>>122922210wow, zoomers have really fucked this board into submission huh, it's been a couple years, mostly came back for the trump shooting and stayed for the shenanigans. Thats pathetic that you wanna mock unironically good artists which are 80% of that list. I want you to go inside, stare at the corner for two minutes and then come back all right, go!
>>122922210Holy shit you can tell from one look that dude is a GIGApedo
>>122922253We have nettspend
>>122922253lil mumbly nig is based as fuck, you take that back
>>122922253I DONT REALLY CARE IF YOU CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>122922210is that a bengalfuel model
>>122922210Photos you can smell
>>122922210Why did boomers make this Jeet manlet famous?
>>122922436Because people didn't care about Nirvana until Cobain's death and the corporate media telling everyone that they're supposed to think they were "important" or whatever.
>>122922210genxchads keep winning
>>122922436>>Gen X not having Nirvana which is weirdly in Gen Ygrunge was made by Gen X, the fans are millennials
>>122922955>people didn't care about Nirvana until Cobain's deathbullshit and you were not alive then so you know nothing
>>122922210Boomers are based
>>122922436If you don't like the temptations you're a fucking twat
>>122922210everything listed here is actual horrible garbage, super popular music usually is.>t. millennial
>>122922955>a retarded zoomer appears!
>>122922884>JeetTIL indians are a mix of black and italian
>>122923228Nirvana are in the millennial list
>>122922263>>122922436
>>122922210>boomers have more inclusive tastes despite not being pandered to by dei initiatives
>>122924349those sneaky jeets
>>122924394how so? I'm counting 10 non-whites in the boomer and millennial lists, and 1 less female in the boomer list, also was DEI a thing in the 2000s?
>>122923242>grunge was made by Gen XEddie Vedder and Chris Cornell are actually boomers
>>122923242But grunge exploded among teenagers in 1991 with the release of Nevermind. If you were a teenager in 1991, you were Gen X.
>>122922884They never saw a nigger play guitar before besides Hendrix and it blew their minds. Plus prince was 5’2
>>122924472true, also Pearl Jam were much bigger than Nirvana, the thing about Nirvana is they kept being very popular until today including with zoomers so it's not surprising they would be (slightly) more popular with millennials than with genxers
>>122922210let's see how I match up with my cohort>The Jackson 5never got into it>Michael Jacksonsame as above>Red Hot Chili Peppersnope>Avril Lavigneshe had some good hits>Linkin Parkfaggots>Rihannasome good singles>Bob Marleynever got into all that afro spiritual warfare anti-babylon stuff>Adeleoverrated>Alicia Keysno opinion>Eminemone or two good singles, but everyone knows one millennial who gets drunk and tries to prove he (or she) can do all the bars of an Eminem song, and after a few times you start to hate Eminem>Selenashe was cute on the Disney channel, don't know her music>Snoop DoggDoggystyle was ok>Lady Gagashe was cute in A Star Is Born, don't love her music>2Pache was also cute, also don't care for his music>John Legenddon't think I can name a single song of his>NirvanaI don't hate them>Ice Cubeno opinion>Backstreet Boysfirst album I ever bought. it was shit probably. I don't remember. >Green DayFuck these faggots>PinkI thought she made music for old women, I had no idea millennials were listening to her.I guess I was born in le wrong generation
>>122922210>Fleetwood Mac 84%faggot lying boomers will ask you to turn it off if you put on anything that isn't Rumours
>>122924549>Pearl Jam were much bigger than Nirvanathis is absolute horseshit, you just be a zoomer larping or you were not actually into this kind of music at the time. the amoubt of complete bullshit on this board is outrageous
>>122924556>Selena>she was cute on the Disney channel, don't know her musicwrong Selenahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selena>John Legend>don't think I can name a single song of hisbiggest hit of 2013 (All of Me), not much else though
>>122924590Ten sold 9m copies in its first year and Nevermind 6m, this is easy to find info but I assume you base your opinions on "feelings" rather than facts, antivax I assume?
>>122924590Pearl jam were really popular.. I don't know if they were more than Nirvana, maybe not but they were also important with the explosion of "grunge".. and Alice in chains.
>>122924608where are they polling these "millennials" that 67% of them not only know who this is but are even fansI must admit I have never heard of this person
>>122922210>millennials:>The Jackson 5 71%wtf? why
I really thought the millennial list was going to look like those /mu/core essentials memes. I forgot normies and brown people existed
>>122924650yes they were popular. so were green day, soundgarden, stone temple pilots etc. all with mtv music videos that catapulted them. but nirvana was on another level, and it was before kurt’s death. if you were not alive then and buying music and going to shows, you can’t understand. this board larps and makes up their own version of history. it’s okay to just not know. don’t be like retro video ganes board where zoomers pretend to know what it was like when mortal kombat or doom came out. modern things don’t compare, the world was so different then you can’t imagine. and i’m not knocking today’s music or buzz around releases. the times are just very different
>>122924663It's not absolute popularity, it's popularity relative to other groups. Millennials are more likely to be completionists and see them as part of Michael Jackson's catalogue.
>>122924660she's worshipped by latinos and Jennifer Lopez became famous portraying her, are you american btw? these polls are made in the US
>>122924736>if you were not alive then and buying music and going to shows, you can’t understand.kill yourself
>>122923292>>122924337You're both clearly too young to have been there. I was already an adult at the time. Grunge was a JOKE back then and not nearly as commercially successful as you've been conned into believing it was.
>>122924663what's surprising about 71% of millennials having a positive opinion of the J5? everybody knows I Want You Back
>>122924762how would know about how popular nirvana was back then otherwise. zoomers really hate being told that reading wikipedia isn’t equivalent to life experience
>>122924754>are you americanalmost. born on the wrong side of the 49th
>>122924775>everybody knows I Want You Backby Haim?
>>122924773>commercially successful moved the goalpost. we are talking about popularity. i was alive and going to lollapalooza every year. people weren’t obsessive about sales like today. your post reeks of zoomie or baby millenial. nirvana was massive. anybody who was on snl or won a grammy was huge.
>>122924559boomers definitely like their 75 album, not so much Tango In The Night but at that point you can blame genX (it was huge in the UK tho)
>>122924549Pearl Jam was basically unknown outside the US. Nirvana was huge all over the world.
>>122924280TRUTH
>>122922210some great acts on that list
>>122924431there's 11 nonwhite acts in the boomer list alone
>>122924472Grunge didn't sell for shit until 1992.
>>122924590>>122924650>>122924736>>122924819Pearl Jam sold WAY better than Nirvana prior to Cobain's suicide.
>>122924803>commercial success>not the same thing as popularityYou are beyond delusional.
The average millennial could only tell you what one Pearl Jam music video looked like (Jeremy) but could tell you what two Nirvana music videos looked like (Smells like Teen Spirit and Heart-Shaped Box). This makes Nirvana twice as popular in the mind of the average millennial.
>>122924803>people weren’t obsessive about sales like todayIt was a big deal how much Pearl Jam sold. I was born in '85 and even I was aware that they mogged all other grunge acts in sales, but I remember being confused by that because Nirvana was clearly the more popular group. I just chalked it up to their albums being masterpieces with Nirvana's singles having more appeal with the general public.

>>122924883>>122924891>>122924906hopeless zoomers who can’t discern what popularity meant in the early 90s, and think sales are the only metric of determining success. you are trying to apply 2020s to the 90s. it doesn’t compute. you weren’t alive in a time when word of mouth and making tapes from a cd were a thing. you think only in terms of the internet.
>>122924963I'm the third guy you quoted and my post was not ironic. Remove me from your reply chain immediately.
>>122924944Nirvana had more pop appeal while PJ was mostly played on rock radios, anyway at least Time was paying attention to sales apparently (I don't think Kurt ever made the cover)
>>122924945I think he meant this banger only real millennials know about.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2ICtCO8TCw
>>122924945the sped-up dance footage or whatever trick they did here is making me feel like I took somethingthe 3d spaceship graphics make it even stronger
>>122924963>sales are the only metric of determining successplease enlighten us about the other metrics
>>122924994>uswho the fuck is us, nigga you are on your own
>>122924993this might be the best video of the 90s desu
>>122924986>while PJ was mostly played on rock radiosI think Pearl Jam was one of the more palatable grunge acts for boomers who mostly hated Nirvana. I think even Soundgarden got more play on radio stations than Nirvana did.
>>122925020>who the fuck is usthe "hopeless zoomers" he mentioned, we need guidance from this wise millennial
>>122922263they're including browns from brazil and other shithole nations so naturally their tastes are 10-15 years behind humans
>>122924868ok my bad, 11vs10 non whites, though Eminem is kinda black if we're being desu
>>122925039fame abd a reputation for greatness either from mass cultural appreciation or awards. back then new kids on the block sold well but then everybody collectively burned their posters and moved on so nobody gives a shit about them anymore and they are barely remembered. if you had the integrity to do great albums it meant more for your career. if sales were the only thing, you might not know these artists today. back then if a film won an oscar or an album won a granmy it was a huge deal, not like today. you became a household name, people quoted you and still do today. things were not quickly forgotten then. so success was more than how much you sold. maybe it isn’t today for nerds studying charts. back then it was whether you made great work and somehow broke through to extreme fame. doing that without the internet and with tv and radio was a very different thing, it wasn’t as limited to a personal user experience. today you can be famous and rich and niche, and not a household name. not comparable experiences
>>122925092no this is just in the US, humans quite enjoy catchy songs like I Want You Back, ghouls like you wouldn't understand though
>>122925125f>fame abd a reputation for greatnessthese have nothing to do with popularity>back then new kids on the block sold well but then everybody collectively burned their posters and moved on so nobody gives a shit about them anymore and they are barely remembered.fame among genxers:New Kids On The Block 97%Nirvana 94%
>>122924819US poll
>>122925170like i said, hopeless zoomers. or maybe you’re just a sperg and not getting it on purpose. you asked for metrics of success, then moved the goal back to popularity to deliberately miss my point
>>122925186this whole thread is about popularity dumbass, you're the one who brought up "success":>hopeless zoomers who can’t discern what popularity meant in the early 90s, and think sales are the only metric of determining success.
>>122925220there are a bunch of posts arguing with me that sales are the only metric of success. read the thread.
>>122924963Beyond delusional.>>122925125These are some next level mental gymnastics.
>>122925842one sentence and zero argument, you should try to actually refute him and make a point as to why it is delusional.
>>122922210i don't know 90% of those boomer artists bruv. Who tf is Ray Charles or Tina Turner. Arethra Franklin sounds like a disease
>>122925862nta but some people don't have the time to argue with bad faith morons
>>122925926kek, Aretha Franklin has a couple of m̶a̶s̶s̶i̶v̶e̶ ̶t̶i̶t̶s classics, the other ones not so much
>>122925931you’ve been hanging around the thread for hours, you have time. the thread ain’t goin anywhere, it’s not like this board moves. you’re just a chickenshit and you don’t have an argument.
>>122925996shame about the face
Pink Floyd being more popular with gen x (people who grew up in the 80s mostly) is more notable imo than Nirvana/millennials, there's also MJ and millennials but I assume they don't know as much about him as a person, not sure about Bob Marley (weed?)
>>122926187The biggest hit of Pink Floyd (Another Brick in the Wall) peaked in 1980. In fact, it was the second biggest song of 1980 behind only Blondie's Call Me.Most likely is that "The Wall" album pushed Pink Floyd into Gen X camp.
>>122922210I find Prince's music frivolous
>>122926287yeah I just remembered The Wall was huge in the US (15 weeks #1, in the UK it peaked at #3), it might explain it, in the UK:Boomers 66% (same as the US)Gen X 62%
Boomers are mogging hard
>>122924443>born in 1964>GenX starts approximately 1965they were more GEnX than boomers
