Around this time in 1991, Nirvana were in the studio working on what would become Nevermind, an album that didn’t just succeed, it completely flipped the rock world upside down.

Before Blink-182 became one of the defining bands of modern pop-punk, they were just three kids from Southern California with skate parks, cheap gear, and a shared obsession with fast, loud, funny music. Their story isn’t a straight line, it’s full of breakups, reinventions, and some of the most iconic songs of the late ’90s and 2000s.

There are bands that start with a plan, a meeting, maybe even a name before the first note is played. Wasted Society wasn’t one of them.

Before the stadiums, before the headlines, Guns N’ Roses were just another hungry band fighting for attention on the Sunset Strip in mid-’80s Los Angeles.
