"This deep pocket of pop culture steeps you in 90s grunge and takes you to meet the people behind historic places like the Monastery and Gorilla Gardens and The Stranger’s coverage of the all-ages concert scene, which were at the center of it all."

"Alive with the testimony of those who were there, this carefully researched, insightful series outlines nearly two decades of tension and resistance. It is, in many ways, an age-old tale of moral panic and generational discord. But it also captures a pre-internet moment in time when youngsters were united by the music they loved and in standing against those who sought to outlaw it."
