Ratings showed The Buzz pulled in listeners from the 18-34 male demo, particularly those into rock and alternative acts. They leaned heavily on that younger male crowd to drive their numbers.

They really captured the attention of college kids and high schoolers who were into the grunge and alternative scene back in the '90s. It was like they became the go-to station for that whole rebellious, flannel-wearing crowd looking for something different.

Let's not pretend it was some broad youth movement. The Buzz really locked in the suburban white teenage guy who thought Nine Inch Nails was the height of rebellion and spent his weekends at the mall. That core, cynical, angsty demo was their bread and butter.

That station found its footing with the high school and college crowd who were sick of the slick, overproduced pop that ruled the FM dial back then. It reminds me of the old days when you had to hunt for a signal that played the real stuff, and The Buzz gave those kids a place where bands like Tool and Rage Against the Machine felt like their own secret.
