Inspired by the Pavement thread. Who is waiting for everything that was old about the 90s to be made new, so that they might enter the pop culture stage again, like a long-absent sitcom character making their return to the show?
Who is waiting for their one-hit wonder to become appreciated "ironically" by human beings born in 1994?
Will bands unironically describe their music to Pitchfork as neo-post-grunge corporate alternative, and cite Stephan Jenkins as an chief influence, in 2016?
And if the early 90s slacker anomie grunge shrug movement was already "ironic" and non-committal from the get-go, does that mean it can only be revived if we are sentimental and guileless about reviving it? Who will re-emerge from the swamp? These and other questions can only be answered by you, the ILM cognescenti.

I was going to say an EMF reunion would be unbelievable (yeah, yawn), but then I saw they already ended their second reunion in May, lol.

Silverchair -- I remember having a dream that I found out they were actually evangelic Christians, but then not remembering that is was in fact in a dream that this information was revealed to me, and was going to comment on this on the radio in College - when we were playing their one big song.

Ha! I was gonna post a similar question, also inspired by the Pavement thread.
My biggest fear is a Jeff Buckley-inspired school of confessional singer songwriters with big voices.
It's kind of surprising there was no jangle-y REM inspired movement in the 2000s. Maybe REM will be cool again in the coming decade.
