More recently, he blamed streaming services such as Spotify […]

The ’90s were chock-full of absolute icons, and no, we’re not referring to the Princess Diana Beanie Baby or JNCO jeans when we say that. From Nirvana to *NSYNC, pop and grunge ruled the airwaves.

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. The art of the spoof is one that has been polished and perfected by some of the mainstream masters (looking at you, Weird Al), but that doesn’t mean several alternative bands haven’t taken a crack at it, too.
