Grunge

Grunge is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American state of Washington, almost entirely in the Seattle area. “Grunge” was initially used to describe only the emerging music scene in Seattle; an unkempt collective of bands each with their own scuzzy take on 70s rock that was a reaction against the technicality and pretension of contemporary and dominant metal.

The top 8 should be from the original scene, Foos & Bush should be replaced with Screaming Treas & maybe Melvins or Temple of The Dog or even Mudhoney

paraheart: Foo Fighters kind of spawned from Nirvana with Dave Grohl, the first album perhaps had grunge elements, and people are kind of stupid here...they think a person from a genre and all of his side projects means that it's ok to tag the side projects with the tags from the original band (progressive rock for Maynard James Keenan, stoner rock for all of QOTSA-member projects, etc...). What you should look at is the order of the tags on an artist page. For true grunge bands like Soundgarden, grunge will be among the first tags, but if you look at the Foo Fighters, you'll see grunge is only 4th. It's kind of psychology related. I'll be writing some shit about it in a journal regarding similar artists.

Judging by the lack of The Melvins in the top 8 list, this tag is used mostly by fags and morons.

Woahwoahwoah. Stop right there. Not all grunge is from Seattle. Two- since when are Foo Fighters grunge? Grunge is a mishmash of different generes. So I would think that grunge would be a genere.

Alternative rock? That can wholly vary from Alice in Chains to Matchbox Twenty.

People need to calm down about their opinions, if you don't THINK grunge was a genre that's fine. But don't impose that on everybody else and say it wasn't a genre at all.
