	Grunge Music History Page by Chuck Ayoub
		The grunge movement was the introduction of an independent-rooted music genre and eventually more commercially successful offshoot of hardcore punk, thrash metal and alternative rock in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
		The emergence of "grunge" as a genre and its embrace by the mainstream is usually thought of as a reaction against the popular dominance of hair metal.
		Grunge was embraced by the youth for its simple defiance of the then-cultural norm, which was seen by many as a corporate-dominated and superficial popular culture.

	Grunge
		Grunge moved from a local sound in Seattle through national and international venues and became a part of the musical vocabulary of most subsequent bands.
		At the local level in Seattle the grunge scene was limited to gigs in local clubs, the production of fanzines, record releases on small local labels staying true to its roots and keeping the movement alive but the kids in plaid couldn't keep the corporate wolves at bay forever.
		Suddenly grunge became embedded in the popular culture and to the artists who pioneered the movement it lost its appeal at the same time.

	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.
		Clothing commonly worn by grunge fans in the Northwest in its early years was a blend of the punk aesthetic with the typical outdoorsy clothing (most notably flannel shirts) of the region.
		Another factor that may have led to the fall of grunge's mainstream popularity was the advent of the sub-genre of grunge known as post-grunge.

		Grunge music (sometimes also referred to as the Seattle Sound) is an independent-rooted music genre that was inspired by hardcore punk, thrash metal, and alternative rock.
		The popularity of grunge was one of the first phenomena that distinguished the popular music of the 1990s from that of the 1980s.
		Grunge evolved out of the Pacific Northwest's local punk rock scene, inspired by local punk bands such as The Fartz, The U-Men, and the feedback and distortion intensive, and pop-punksters The Fastbacks.

		Grunge and many other genres should probably not be considered their own genres.
		Arguably the most important distinguishing characteristic of grunge popping up as a musical style was the development regional identity, which was a result of several factors, the most notable of which was when Sup Pop began hyping themselves as a record label.
		A big reason that grunge developed as a specific scene (and Sub Pop's existence became possible) is because the music was created by a relatively small group of people (many friends) who often reformed and started new bands with people in the same area.

	Popular Culture - Grunge
		The very term "Grunge" can have a variety of meanings, and it is a worthwhile exercise asking people of varying ages and backgrounds what they understand by the term.
		To study Grunge as a case study for the creation of popular culture though, requires a bit more historical perspective.As Spin magazine proclaimed in December, 1992, "Seattle...it's currently to the rock world what Bethlehem was to Christianity".
		Grunge is simple one of an infinite number of case studies.

		Grunge is the name given to the hard rock music produced by bands such as Nirvana,; Soundgarden,; and others, in Seattle, Washington,; from the mid-1980s through the mid-1990s.
		Few, if any, of those groups ever described themselves as "grunge," and the stereotyping of grunge as humorless and angst-ridden is a serious distortion.
		Nonetheless, the same media scrutiny that bred those misrepresentations turned grunge into a worldwide phenomenon that shaped not only music, but also other aspects of popular culture such as fashion.

		The sonic resemblance to such 1960s Northwest bands as the Wailers and, most particularly, the Sonics, is unmistakable, and grunge clothing was a blend of the punk aesthetic with the typical outdoorsy clothing (e.g., R.E.I. and Eddie Bauer flannel shirts) of the region.

		Barkmarket (11) coined a form of "progressive grunge", an explosive mixture of Jesus Lizard and Sonic Youth that relied on David Sardy's uncontrolled histrionics (reminiscent of Mick Jagger at his worst) and guitar bacchanals a` la Surgery to craft the chaotic, incendiary atmospheres of Vegas Throat (1991).
		In the south, grunge merged with the local tradition of "southern boogie" and with the countless flavors of blues, soul and gospel: Alabama's Verbena, with Souls For Sale (1997); Georgia's Collective Soul, with Hints Allegations And Things Left Unsaid (1994); Texas' Toadies, with Rubberneck (1994); Oklahoma's Nixons; etc.

		But both tribes persist among thirtysomethings as well as post-Columbine youth throughout the Western world, the grunge label is useful shorthand, and the conjunction of a Nirvana greatest-hits package with the new Pearl Jam recording, Riot Act—not to mention the publication of Kurt Cobain's journals—offers a fitting occasion to examine an enduring cultural legacy.
		Apart from the oversized flannel shirts, wool hats, and perhaps overly self-consciously bedraggled accoutrements, the music sought to imaginatively identify and forcibly uproot the seeds of dysfunction that are perhaps especially evident in American homes and schools.
		The indifference associated with the grunge label is the last accusation one could now level at Pearl Jam, whose work includes an effort to overcome Ticketmaster's hegemonic hold over live performance and a longterm commitment to social action.
