11/11/25 - Three Tune Tuesday! 1997 Alternative Rock Edition! MTV Is Dead! It’s The Official End Of The Once Legendary Channel MTV 🎸 I Pick Three Of My Favorite Alternative Rock Tunes From 1997! The Year We Got Cable!
Quick reminder! I will be moving over to posting regularly from my new account @GeneEverett33 soon so please follow! Ok onto the music! 🎸
It’s the death of MTV! Let’s face it it’s been dead for a longtime! That said even though I missed the prime years in the eighties, I loved watching the year we got basic cable as a kid which was late 1997! I was definitely late to the party but I remember watching and enjoying some awesome alternative rock!
Past few weeks my vlogs had 1 or 2 views
So I’m ditching em and just doing the type text thing for now on Hive. I prefer the audio but if it’s skipped by most I might as well not bother. If you personally enjoyed them and want em back let me know! 🥁
This week for Three Tune Tuesday I’m picking three songs and music videos I remember were in regular rotation the weekend the cable channel first entered my room! It was late 1997 and I was late to the party but I did catch the last couple years MTV still played some good music! Let’s go!
Band - offspring
Song - The Kids Aren’t Alright
Album - Americana (1997)
Band - Everclear
Song - Everything To Everyone
Album - So Much For The Afterglow (1997)

And of course we gotta throw in a couple Bonus Tunes! Also all 1997 songs played on MTV In regular rotation when I first got the channel! Blink 182’s single Dammit which was before the bands 1999 pop crossover era when they were an Alt Rock band. Next up it’s Marcy Playground and there 1997 hit Sex & Candy which was actually recorded in 1994 but the album was held up by label for three years, this gives the album an early nineties vibe! Enjoy!
