 Grunge music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grunge bands avoided the complex, high budget presentations that bands from other rock genres such as heavy metal were known for; complex light arrays, pyrotechnics, and other technological visual effects unrelated to playing the music were not part of the concerts.
Grunge music (sometimes also referred to as the Seattle Sound) is a genre of indie rock inspired by hardcore punk, thrash metal, and alternative rock.
Prior to its popularity, grunge was listened to mostly by those who played the music.

 Musician Forums - what is grunge???
Grunge, or most grunge bands, are just punk offshoots or rock bands.

 ***Grunge FM***
Grunge actually evolved in the late 80s as a hybrid between metal and punk, with Black Sabbath often cited as the major influence on the genre.
Our intent at Grunge FM is to immerse you in ALL of the music of that time that fits the Grunge style.
Some could say the bands we play are not Grunge, but rather "alternative rock" bands with a Grunge sound.

 Articles - What is Grunge Rock?
Rather grunge is a musical style, part of the larger, more general, and increasingly vague rock music genre.
Often, grunge music is talked of as a genre, but this is a little misleading.
They influenced some grunge bands, and toured with grunge bands.

 Urban Dictionary: grunge
he's such a cob nobbler, he doesn't listen to grunge.
grunge really ended around the time of the death of kurt cobain in 1994, but many origional fans see the end of grunge with the over comercialisation of the music around the time nirvanas nevermind was released, the most extreme case of this overcomercialisation being the vogue grunge spread.
In the early and mid 1980s, grunge was a subgenre of punk that included bands such as Green River, The Melvins and Soundgarden.

 JS Online: Grunge
The musical elements of grunge, such as down-tuned guitars and its lyrical preoccupation with the darker side of life, have had lasting impact on younger musicians, however.
Grunge's marriage to Generation X may have been one of convenience by a media trying to make sense of both the music and the people listening to it.
All these outlets led to grunge being the first genre of music to be analyzed in the present tense, as it was happening, which led to every element of grunge being reverse-engineered (by the media)," he added.

 Popular Culture - Grunge
That single record release was undoubtedly the key event in moving Grunge from subculture to popular culture.
Certainly the genuine outpouring of grief at Kurt Cobain's death indicated that he was as important to his generation as Presley and Lennon had been to theirs.
They needn't have worried, as the commercialisation of Grunge exhibited a control all of its own.

I'm 24 and was listening to grunge music at some of my most impressionable times in my life.
He was only one guy in a big music scene but because he was a member of the first popular grunge band he became the face of grunge and the "saviour of music".
Grunge was good in that it ridded the world of all the mediocre, clone 80's bands that were only signed to record deals because they looked like Poison or Guns 'N' Roses or sounded like Skid Row or Motley Crue.

 USATODAY.com - Nirvana found: Grunge finds its way back
The Seattle-spawned grunge of the early '90s is resurfacing in newly released music by the genre's biggest names:
Some of the hottest grunge bands from the mid-90s, like Pearl Jam, are back this fall with new albums.
You Know You're Right, the last known song recorded by Nirvana before singer Kurt Cobain's suicide, recently emerged on the Internet and then jumped to radio where it's No. 22 on the modern-rock chart.

 Neil Young Godfather of Grunge
Both grunge and punk were relatively short lived musical genres that had a much greater impact than their sales, radio play, and concert performances would indicate.
In many ways, grunge music was to the 90's what punk was to 70's.

 AN APPROACH TO GRUNGE AS A CULTURAL PHENOMENON V 99.1 by Hendrik Heuser
They copied the way the old grunge bands made music but they formed an alliance with the business.
Usually the lyrics of grunge songs have very personal themes like experiences from the writer's youth or about the problems of his friends or acquaintances.
Although the grunge musicians never wanted to be stars but just wanted to make music they became extremely popular.

 The History of Rock Music - The Nineties
Tool (3) was the most innovative band to emerge from grunge's second generation.
Notable Australian albums of grunge included Magic Dirt's Friends In Danger (1997), and Silverchair's Frogstomp (1995); whereas Blinker The Star were the stars of Canada's grunge.
However, it was also identified with the musical renaissance of Seattle, that suddenly became one of the world's centers for rock music, and "grunge" came to include just about any band that played in that city.

 Amazon.com: Music: Nevermind
While, Nirvana is an alright band, but I don't consider Kurt Cobain the musical genious that many people claim he his.
The song is a powerhouse, but every Nirvana fan will tell you it's not their best.
In the past decade I've heard SO many bands that exhibited higher levels of musicanship and songwriting ability than Nirvana that it would be pointless to list them here.

 Mudhoney: The Grunge That Never Dies
The irony is that their music was a little too grunge for the popular ear to latch onto.
I remember during the height of grunge popularity, Boss released a "grunge" guitar pedal meant to emulate the grunge sound.
It was a time when the popular press rallied around any Seattle band wearing plaid and a guitar.

 Grunge
Grunge has a typical surfer-dude mentality, he is interested in girls, skateboarding, girls, music, girls, partying, and lets not forget girls.
They were trying to identify and control the next generation of gen-active supers, the so called Gen13.
For example, after touching a fire hydrant his body turned into red metal and he was able to shoot jets of water from his hands.

 Books & Culture Corner: Entertain Us - Books & Culture
To be sure, few self-respecting musicians (or fans) would ever self-apply a label like grunge.
Cobain opened Nivana's final album with the observation that "Teenage angst has paid off well / Now I'm old and bored," and sought the company of elder Beat statesmen like William S. Burroughs.
Eschewing the desensitizing powers of mass media, they've opted out of most publicity-seeking work save the occasional appearance on David Letterman, benefit concerts, and a grassroots-following reminiscent of nothing so much as the Grateful Dead phenomenon.

Groundbreaking bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains introduced a generation of young rock fans to their grainy, hard-edged brand of modern metal.
In a relatively short time span, grunge music exploded out of its native Seattle and became the most dominant force of the early '90s.

It was reported in the news by Reuters today that Kurt Cobain had mulled quiting the legendary grunge band Nirvana to join wife Courtney Love and her band Hole a mere eight months before he took his own life in his home in Seattle.

 Gus Van Sant To Direct Grunge Period Piece
So who has the chops to play the fallen grunge angel?
Sure, there was Cameron Crowe’s 1992 romantic comedy Singles — starring Matt Dillon as a dopey grunge rocker with much of Pearl Jam playing his band, Citizen Dick, and Soundgarden and Alice In Chains playing themselves — but few directors have gone for a ‘90s Pacific Northwest period piece.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, director Gus Van Sant (My Own Private Idaho, Good Will Hunting) has written a script for a film that he will direct and produce called Last Days, which focuses on the mid-‘90s Seattle music scene.
