's work to correct the story of 80s-90s alternative music. Plenty was happening before Nirvana and in places other than Seattle.

This is the talk I gave at the 2023 IASPM meeting in Minneapolis. It reworks some material I’ve already published here, but in a new theoretical framework that connects it to the work I’ve been doing about Woodstock 99 and its connection to contemporary alt right media
