In 1994, the death of Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain not only initiated the decline of grunge's mainstream dominance but concurrently marked the MTV Generation's ascent to adulthood. In 1999, however, a new class of agitators stormed the charts and with them came the latest cohort of adolescents: the MTV2 Generation. Featuring exclusive interviews from Grammy-nominated music video director and renowned graphic designer P. R. Brown, actress/DJ/singer and American Pie alumna Lauren Mayhew, acclaimed music biographer and magazine editor Joel McIver, and the unmistakable voice of Wheatus frontman and "Teenage Dirtbag" songwriter Brendan B. Brown, Teenage Dirtbags: A Brief History of the MTV2 Generation is a warts-and-all look back to a year that forever changed the course of music history; establishing the likes of Blink-182, Eminem, and Creed as mainstream giants on par with the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and NSYNC; as well as implicating both Marilyn Manson and Limp Bizkit in the tumultuous aftermaths of the Columbine High School massacre and Woodstock '99, respectively.
