There was more Morrissey and less grunge than I expected. It proves that grunge was more important for a strong cult following than some of the more commercially successful '90s rock (The Wallflowers, Third Eye Blind, Sugar Ray, U2, Oasis, The Cranberries, The Lemonheads...) Ditto with emo, knock-offy A/C rock will always sell more, but the cumulative sales and album sales, and most importantly, the cult following of emo is stronger.
