You guys know the entire Grunge Sound from Seattle was all Pisces with few Cancers and 1 Scorpio and 1 Cap.
Even those Pisces or Cancers had Cancer Moons. I guess it takes Water to write murky sound with introspective lyricks.
Now I know why they reversed punk. Punk is happy music played up the griff, but if you slow it down and play it downwards you get grunge - same notes but different feel and sad in a way.
All those guys were simply Pisces, with few Cancers here and there. And even if the singer was not Pisces, the main person who wrote the riffs was Pisces like Van Conner from Screaming Trees.
Now I also know why they are all dead.

Grunge is shit though...
It pains me to say it because it's mostly genX artists, but they don't have the good energy of the boomers.
Once I watched a video of that guy frusciante who has a very good reputation as a guitarist and he talked for one hour of how he composed the guitar for this one song and how it was a melting pot of great boomers influences and it was really nice to listen and enthusing.
But then the song started playing and it was fucking suck. Some kinda gloomy depressing guitar massacre noise heard through a bathtub.
I think Genx just don't have the creative energy of the previous generation

Kim Thayil is a Virgo and Eddie Vedder a Capricorn. It's kinda a thing that lots of great guitarists are Pisces though, Harrison, Gilmour, Frusciante, Gallagher, Iommi, Cash and probably heaps more.

Grunge wasn't about technicality, it was depressive with lot of emphasis on vocals. Most of was shit imo. Even Most of nirvanas songs are meh, its their 4 or 5 hits that made it. Soundgarden had great fucking vocals you cant deny ans Kim Thayil is a beast on riffs and solos, the drummer Cameron also had a badass groove similar to bonham.
I remember when I lived in Seattle for a couple of months, after 2 weeks I was like when the sun gonna come out this shits depressing.
Boomer music can be terrible too with what plays on the radio, Queen overrated, Bowie was alright but mostly the hits. 80s hair metal was all shit except for couple of good riffs here and there. All that supertramp clone noise on 80s radio.
Every generation has its shit music.

They aren't all dead. Eddie Vedder and David Grohl are still alive. Just goes to show how resilient Capricorn are.
Anyway Black hole sun by Soundgarden is in my top 5 favorite songs of all times. I feel like I could hear that song a million more times, and still get chills. Especially in the last line
Hang my head
Drown my fears
Till you all just disappear.
Which is exactly what he did, or so they say.
