Though Nirvana‘s Nevermind is often credited with the launch of the grunge movement boom of the early ’90s, the album’s producer Butch Vig has shared his doubts that the record would have the same impact today.
While Vig is not downgrading the album’s quality, he is stating that the environment surrounding how and when the record arrived played a big factor in making a great record reach even bigger heights.
Speaking with NME, Vig explained, “I think it would be tough to repeat that zeitgeist moment. If Nevermind came out this week, despite being a great record, it would not have the same cultural impact. It was perfect timing coming out when there was a shift in music and it felt like a revolution. I can see that happening again, but not in the same way.”
