OT: For All You 90s Alt. Rock Fans...

[DirtyRU]

So as most of you know, I'm a Graphic Designer. And lately I've been trying to get my creativity on outside of my 9 to 5 as well as outside of Rutgers sports. That said, I heard some 90s alt. rock on Fri. night... just mainstream stuff... and being a child of the 90s (as well as 80s) it inspired me to whip up a fun little graphic representing some of the bands I listened to back then (and still do). The picks are obvious & deliberate, as you will see in the graphic, ha. And I decided to use 100% stock imagery from Shutterstock to create this piece, with obvious Photoshopping when need be. Anyway, thought some of y'all might enjoy it:

Replace Alien ant farm with Hole.

Replace Velvet Underground with Soundgarden.

I'm also lost with the hat one.

Y'all are close enough, with 13 out of 14 correct (@RutHut is correct with his replacements) so I'll just give it to y'all. The missing one: Stone Temple Pilots.

Yes, definitely Hole & Soundgarden.

I’m lost on the bottom middle one too.

This reminds me of that WKRP episode where they create a big money promo that the audience can't possibly crack:

Should of had Tom Cruz and Val Kilmer taking a selfy at Angkor Wat.

I challenge you to a cage match in an Ant Hole!
I concede Soundgarden. That was a tough one.
Geez on Stone Temple Pilots!

Excellent work. Whatever you do, don't let Google's Gemini generate any images for you. They had to pause that thing because it was generating banana images for some things.

Yes, definitely Hole & Soundgarden.

I’m lost on the bottom middle one too.

Bottom middle is just the title of the piece, not a band!
