This is probably very typical for a SY fan in his early 30s:

around 91 when I was 13-14. I friend of mine got some mixtapes that I copied, with punkrock and all the classic 80s stuff: SY, dinosaur, big black, black flag etc. All these bands kicked so much more ass the current favorites like Billy Idol (duh)

And then, of course, Nevermind came, and nirvana became like the BEST BAND EVER. So I based on what I heard on the mixtapes and Kurts t-shirts I bought Dirty when it came out, and that was record so noisy and rockin ´It was the coolest record I´d ever heard! They where even cooler than nirvana...
