Where were you when you first heard "Debaser?" One of the Pixies' most classic anthems, the song gave definition to a new genre of emotion and expression. Largely responsible for the alternative music movement of the 1990s, the Pixies used a number of musical styles and sounds to create their own unique invention. Melding punk, indie guitar rock, classic pop, surf rock and riffs, the band created a sound that no one had heard before. This new sound laid the foundation for artists like Nirvana to rise to superstardom and opened the doors to a whole new genre of musical exploration. While the Pixies have not reunited their efforts until just recently, their influence paved the way for alternative music as we know it today. Without their pioneering efforts, there may have not been a Nirvana, a Pearl Jam, or a Seattle explosion. Alternative music offered a new outlet for expression to young people living in the 90s -an outlet that the Pixies helped create.
