This week on The Vinyl Curriculum, Logan and Jim turn the clock back to the era of flannel, distortion pedals, and some of the most iconic alternative music of the 1990s. Joining the class is special guest Reid, one of Logan’s longtime friends—and a certified Blink-182 superfan.

The trio dives into the sound that defined a generation, from grunge influences to the pop-punk explosion that helped bring alternative rock into the mainstream. Reid makes a passionate case for Blink-182’s place in the 90s alternative conversation, while Logan and Jim debate what really belongs in the syllabus.

Expect strong opinions, plenty of nostalgia, and a few moments where the professor might lose control of the classroom.

Class is in session.
