Mark Panning: I was questioning the definition of “post-grunge” in my daylist when it included Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, and Stone Temple Pilots, but it crossed a line when it included Jane’s Addiction and the Pixies.

I was questioning the definition of “post-grunge” in my daylist when it included Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, and Stone Temple Pilots, but it crossed a line when it included Jane’s Addiction and the Pixies.

I’m beginning to think the Spotify Daylist names are just a meaningless string of words with no connection to the music they’re playing whatsoever.

I mean, I could call Melon Collie and the Infinitr Sadness post-grunge, and maybe you could make a “life begins at conception” argument that everything after the recording of Bleach is, but “Jane Says” and “Here Comes Your Man” would require a TARDIS in the definition.

And now it’s playing The Smiths. I assume it’s eventually going to get to Robert Johnson at this rate.
