It rejected ideas like technique, gear fetish and and other coventions that were staples of the mainstream rock world, and had begun to find their way into alternative rock via bands like dinosaur. A lot of those ideas were borrowed from the post-punk/c86 era and, as secondhand and as naive as they may have been, they were far more exciting than merely campaigning for women to be taken seriously while rocking out during a guitar solo.

okay.
