>>126994095 (OP)Cobain was dismissive and a bit paranoid about all these bands that suddenly got a lot of coverage on MTV, because they were part of the Seattle scene
Even though he was partly right, Vedder was not from Seattle and neither were lots of others.
He only trusted those guys from the Seattle underground he knew personally (Marc Arm, Melvins, Tad, the Olympia scene etc)
So to him these other Seattle big names looked like bandwagon jumpers who were propped by corporate promotion
