Grunge

Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle Sound) is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American state of Washington, particularly in the Seattle area. Inspired by hardcore punk, heavy metal and indie rock, grunge is generally characterized by heavily distorted electric guitars, contrasting song dynamics, and apathetic or angst-filled lyrics.

@ Adam, people say that because Kurt didn't like them, and at the time (and even today) people are sucking his dick because Nirvana broke into the mainstream first, so what he said was gospel to the sheeple. Don't get me wrong, Nirvana are excellent, but they're way overrated.

I don't find grunge to be a genre, but then again who the fuck cares what an artists genre is.

Good point, look at the four main grunge bands for example ... they sound nothing like eachother, so here's my question: Why does Nirvana get the glory for being a pure grunge band and Pearl Jam is considered not grunge by alot? That's my complaint ... I personally say PJ is grunge...

And calling mid-to-late 90s bands like Silverchair "grunge" is just... stupid. It makes no sense at all.

Well, I won't say "grunge" never existed, but it's definitely not a genre of music. What does Alice In Chains and Mudhoney have in common - musically?? Yeah, pretty much NOTHING.
