I moved to Europe this year, and so completely missed "the year punk broke." I remember asking my clueless mother to go out and buy "The Fly" single for me on the day it came out and mail it to me.
A friend made a cassette for me in December or early 1992, which was the first time I heard Nirvana (and some other stuff). Electrifying, but I still loved (and love) Achtung Baby much much more. But I remember coming back to the US in 1993, I guess, and feeling like the whole world had changed. Suddenly I didn't understand the music scene at all.
