I’ve seen lots of Gen- Z kids walking around wearing Gn’R t-shirts, along with a few other 90s bands like Nirvana and the Chili Peppers. Whether or not they’re actually onto these bands is anyone’s guess, but I suppose it’s no different than when I was a kid in the 80s/early 90s and was listening to a lot of Zeppelin, Beatles, and Doors records.

I remember watching the local news where they showed this gigantic lineup at a mall (Southcentre?) of people waiting for the HMV(?) to open to get UYI1+2.

I was in that line. Bought two copies of each and sold the second set that paid for both.
Cool fact, but Appetite could have been even more deadly. November Rain and Don't Cry were written and originally planned for Appetite, but the band felt that Sweet Child of Mine and Think About You were enough love songs for one album.
Back Off Bitch and You could Mine were also written before Appetite. Just imagine
Welcome To The Jungle
It's So Easy
Nightrain
Out Ta Get Me
Mr. Brownstone
Paradise City
My Michelle
Think About You
Sweet Child O' Mine
You're Crazy
Anything Goes
Rocket Queen
Back Off Bitch
It's so Easy
Don't Cry
November Rain
Out Ta Get Me and Back off Bitch are two of my favourite underrated guitar riffs of all time. They're actually the reason I started playing in the first place

My two youngest nieces were born in 2000 and 2005 and maybe aren't as big of fans as they used to be but there was a time where they were obsessed with them.
My youngest niece really only listens to 80s/90s Hard Rock/Metal right now.

It’s extra hilarious for me that this got posted in a thread about GNR. This past year I was at my daughter’s Christmas concert and there was a student wearing a use your illusions shirt and I recall saying something to my daughter like I bet that kid can’t even name 5 songs off those albums.

I kind of feel like that's gatekeeping or something a bit.
My daughter's friend showed up at my house with a Nirvana shirt the other day and I did have to fight the urge to ask if she was a fan, but I didn't want to embarrass her if she wasn't. I think the kids - at the very least - like the aesthetic from the 90s and it is coming back in a lot of the styles with the baggier pants and such. Many of them do know 90s music quite well, too. Guess they grew up with GenX parents playing it.
I find the kids are super open to music regardless of the era moreso than we were. It's so nice having a 15 and 17-year-old right now because they introduce me to tons of cool music. Seems like I'm adding a song or two to my mixes every day.
I remember picking up those CDs at Co-Op in Dalhousie. Just wandered in and there they were. What a time...Co-Op used to sell clothes and stuff, too. And had a weird cafeteria.

The comment was sarcastic even if it’s likely true, when I was that age I used to be into some bands that at the time had stopped making new music 20+ years earlier and could name almost their entire catalogue, but I still wouldn’t be surprised if some of the students wearing band shirts couldn’t name many songs by those artists.
Not because of their age or anything like that though, it’s just that frankly there are people my age that wear band shirts of artists who I know they can’t name a few songs from.
I was a GNR nut in junior high and high school. I wasn't born when they were relevant, so seeing Axl and Slash together in 2017 was a dream come true (even if Axl sounds like Mickey Mouse now).

Just be a self respecting gen-x and say "rocks" .. we don't have to complicate this
Ha ha, was gonna say, I was expecting the OP to be a teenager who discovered GnR on their dad's Spotify playlist. Did not expect a 42 year old to use the term "slaps".
