Post-grunge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Some of these newer bands alienated fans of the original grunge and early post-grunge sound, and are often referred to simply as either alternative rock or "modern rock" rather than post-grunge. Post-grunge (referred to as nu-grunge in Britain) is a subgenre of American alternative rock that emerged in the mid-1990s as an offshoot of the Seattle grunge movement. Post-grunge developed from the grunge music scene of the early 1990s. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Post-grunge_music   (1037 words)

Grunge music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Grunge bands avoided the complex, high budget presentations that bands from other musical 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. Grunge fans in the Pacific Northwest believed that the media gave excessive importance to the clothing worn by grunge musicians and fans, along with other aspects of the local culture. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Grunge_music   (3718 words)

Post-Grunge Downloads - Download Post-Grunge Music - Download Post-Grunge MP3s After grunge's initial heyday had passed, post-grunge kept going strong, with a new wave of bands appearing in the mid- to late '90s; some were able to maintain their popularity from one album to the next, while others wound up as one-hit wonders. The angst-ridden, sober introspection typically associated with grunge became virtual requirements in the hands of post-grunge, which tended to view it as a path to artistic legitimacy. After grunge's breakthrough, it didn't take long for post-grunge to appear; bands like Bush and Candlebox became huge successes just a couple years after Nirvana topped the charts at the beginning of 1992. www.mp3.com /genre/335/subgenre.html   (3546 words)

Is it obnoxious racket or music? A discussion of noise in music. - AVS Forum To me, grunge is a blend of heavy metal and punk, regardless of where it is spun. I prefer the definition of grunge that actually describes the music: a hybrid of heavy metal and punk rock. On the American underground side of things I have been listening a lot of varied stuff, and have really focused on Sonic Youth (I was familiar with them before this exercise, but I can't say that I've listened to a lot of their music), Black Flag, Swans, and Lydia Lunch. www.avsforum.com /avs-vb/showthread.php?p=5652490   (3584 words)

The Rock Music Project timeline and essay page Grunge didn't just up and die in 1994. The Seattle scene would survive, but largely as it had before 1991, as an underground music scene; essentially, the scene returned to its roots and away from the limelight. Indeed, some of the best 90's alt-rock albums were released in 1994, such as Soundgarden's Superunknown, Stone Temple Pilots' Purple, Alice In Chains' Jar of Flies, and Pearl Jam's Vitalogy are considered as important albums of the 1990's. landru.i-link-2.net /jtrees/Rock/timeline9.htm   (2109 words)

Top Ten Mediocre Post-Grunge / Alternative Bands - Staff Top 10 - Stylus Magazine Though these guys don’t necessarily come from grunge’s lineage—certainly the power-pop of “Allison Road” and “Til I Hear it From You” could have happened decades earlier—they’d deserve this #1 if only for their obvious post-grunge masterpiece, “Hey Jealousy,” which is simply one of the greatest songs of the modern rock era. This was when post-grunge started to really cease to contain any grunge in them at all—Semisonic and Fastball were only a couple steps away. But still, these guys were great—they wrote a bunch of urgent, instantly nostalgic love songs that still sound quite fine today. www.stylusmagazine.com /feature.php?ID=1153   (1099 words)

Bad Subjects: Up Next But despite grunge uniforms, they were pulling up in the same Ford Expeditions, checking the time on the same Storm watches as the Gates yuppies, counting the hours 'till it was time to show up to work at Microsoft. The artists dress their songs up in different clothes--fusing, say, indie rock, grunge strums, and techno drum 'n bass beats, but underneath lies a alternative rock striking a new stylistic pose. Compilations like Up Next make the late eighties working class youth that put Seattle's punk-cum-grunge on the alternative music map seem like an endangered species, if they haven't been wiped out already. bad.eserver.org /reviews/1999/1999-9-13-6.21PM.html   (670 words)

Grunge Music Forever - Neowin.net True, Green Day was out back then but they were post grunge.

Something Awful British people, heartbroken by the fact that they were too effete to make Grunge, had to come up with an equally iconic style of music in the nineties as a matter of national pride. It didn’t make much of an impact in America, aside from our brief national flirtation with tolerating Oasis (as it turns out, not a good idea), but the UK is still just as menaced by its shadow as America is by the shadow of Grunge. Out of this necessity was born Britpop, which allowed English musicians to be as square and effeminate as they wanted while still doing enormous amounts of cocaine. www.somethingawful.com /articles.php?a=2618   (1791 words)

Observer Newspaper - Scene Ever since Bush first stormed their way into the homes and hearts of angry teenagers throughout America in 1994, fortune has never quite smiled the same way upon this grunge band from London. This is not the same Bush that seemingly ripped out heavy hitting grunge anthems like "Everything Zen" and "Comedown" without effort. Unfortunately, Golden State, the group's best attempt to return to the explosive power and emotion of their '94 smash Sixteen Stone, doesn't do a whole lot to improve their disposition. www.nd.edu /~observer/11062001/Scene/0.html   (634 words)

Post-rock labels & media Most of the British post-rock groups also explicitly define themselves against Grunge, which was Carducci's dream come true: the fusion of punk and Metal into an all-American nouveau hard rock." Today's more adventurous rock groups are embracing technology and the avant garde to forge a new genre: post-rock. Other impulses arrive from outside of rock: Eno, obviously, but also the mid-60s drone-minimalism of Terry Riley and LaMonte Young, as well as musique concrete and electroacoustic music, dub reggae and modern sampladelic genres like HipHop and Techno. post-rock.lv /post2.htm   (316 words)
