In this episode of Aftershocks TV, hosts Matt and Chris tackle some hot-button topics shaking the rock and metal scene. They start by discussing the recent cancellation of the Sick New World Festival, breaking down the reasons behind the decision, and examining what it means for the festival scene, especially in the wake of growing fan interest in retro events and lineups.
The guys move on to explore a larger question: Can the 90s sustain a nostalgic resurgence like the 80s and early 2000s have seen in rock and metal? They analyze the cultural and musical landscape of the 1990s, debating whether it has the same long-lasting appeal as the decades that came before it. With the rise of alternative, nu-metal, and grunge influences in recent years, can bands from that era still pack a punch in today's music scene?
Matt and Chris also speculate on the future of nostalgic festivals and reunions, looking at what this means for both the artists and the fans who continue to crave a return to those iconic sounds.
Join the guys as they break down the state of the scene, dissect the highs and lows of music festivals, and forecast the future of 90s nostalgia in rock and metal.
