Grunge Music

[Taki Soma]

just wondering:

Please help me out and list off some Grunge bands

what makes grunge, grunge?

is there a certain 'grunge' look, aside from looking like a clone of Kurt Cobain?

and is grunge still around?????

Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains

I always saw grunge as a thick version of punk: an isolated, passionate mass construction project to escape the current trends of the time.

You could call them pre-cursors to grunge, and they were certainly influences, especially on Cobain, but I wouldn't consider them to really be "grunge".

Sonic Youth always struck me as more of an extension of punk than grunge. But I think they helped at least foreshadow the distortion and texture of grunge.

I don't know about the punk thing. I grew up loving punk, but nothing about Grunge music struck me as anything I liked... maybe the way they dressed was 90's punk influenced, but other than that, I think it's more rock metal emo????? I dunno, I could be really off.
