Never heard of it.
Is it rap?

heres a song from mudhoney so you dont say that its rap or goth

yay, for Pigeonholing!!!!

Oh well I guess I'll mention it here even though this guy is a tool. The movie Hype is a great documentary on grunge. I suggest anyone interested in the Seattle music scene from the mid-80s on.

Grunge Rules

Nirvana all the way

Mudhoney and Soundgarden to

^ exactly :) at least one person here knows what it is...

Grunge(n)-Filth;dirt.

i like green river

i gotta get to the carwash.

everyone knows what it is

the only TRUE GRUNGE band is Mudhoney. That term applied to anyone else just does not fit for me.

Mudhoney forever!!!!

^yes they are. and im seeing them live in may! they are the best grunge band and one of the 1st thats why they rule

All those seattle kids ripped off the Melvins.

Is it like CITIZEN DICK?

my girlfriends' neighbors are grunge as fuck, nothing but bush on the stereo and playing bush on the acoustic guitar, and they asked us to set their part of the duplex on fire to embrace the soul of kurt cobain while high on maryland meth with them shooting up seattle mud and screaming "KURT!!!!"




well.........they didn't ask to be set on fire, but they will be, you can't be grunge as fuck until you are aflame


and no i haven't figured out how to keep jenn's side of the house unburnt, but i expect snoopy and woodstock and a hand pushed water pumper to the rescue will be at hand

i think some so called "grunge" is okay, but its just a stupid word and not really a music genre... its just rock. Saying: "i listen to grunge" seems stupid. i reminds me of this hyper-quasi-depressed 16 years old kid wearing nirvana t-shirt and playing guitar and wanting to sound like kurt kobain... with all those neo-grunge bands, when you listen to them its completley obvious their song writing process begins like: "lets make something that sounds like grunge, you know, something that kurt kobain could easily come up with" ... bah, its really stupid, even thou i like many early grunge acts

green river was before mudhoney

not all grungers worship kurt you know, nirvana isnt the only grunge band... but what you said is true, actually it sounds more like youre talking about fucked up kurt worshippers . i feel sorry for them. they're all like 'i like drungs cause kurt liked them' or 'im gonna kill myself when im 27 just to be more like kurt' kurt gets idolized too much but hes far overrated. im not saying hes bad or anything.

are you from mexico, thread starter?

people here are still stoked on pearl jam and alice in chains like nothing has happened in the past 10-plus years

and when i mention i like sonic youth to anybody, they always go "so you like grunge? pearl jam and stne temple pilots and sonic youth, eh?"

some rad bands from seattle: sunny day real estate, earth, melvins, the fastbacks, the fartz

actually, i like olympia better

grunge is not dead, in fact it has never existed, so i guess it is yet to be born :D

go to olympia now and its a really fucking deadbeat place, even being a college town...

fuck yeah, Melvins is grunge.
BTW, grungeisdead? I was fuckin' with ya. I've got a lot of grunge material.

GRUNGE

Last year, that is all I listened to. I had it all.

and I listened to Grunge FM almost everynight. I was obsessed.

Then I bought Dirty and my head exploded.

I here ya. I was on the nirvana megadeth trip.

i was on a whole nirvana trip a couple of years ago. now i'm immersed in anything sonic youth. i learned of sy from kurt's mentioning them and touring w/them. watching the 91 punk broke vid made me go out and buy ddn...

i meant the olympia music scene from around the same time the seattle scene exploded

A lot of you are right. A lot of the so called "grunge" bands were very good i.e. Mudhoney, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam (i guess), Melvins, Alice In Chains, Gruntruck, Green River. But "grunge" was a blanket-term genre invented by the nitwited mass-media to try and describe the agressive, Stooges meets Black Sabbath bastard child of the Velvet Underground sound of the Northwest. When you listen to most Seattle bands, they sound very different from one another. Mudhoney was heavy punk oriented bar rock a la the Stooges; Nirvana was more like Melvins influenced (ealier on); Soundgarden was very metal influenced. So you see grunge never really existed becuase all of the original bands were very different with just a few small, minor similarities loosely tying them together if at all. But a lot of the musicians that are type-casted into this half-existant genre were pretty fucking good rock bands. But the people who ripped them off, i.e. Bush, Everclear, Candlebox, Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox 20, and especially Green Day and Creed need to be banned from the music industry and be barred from clubs and venues. They just ripped off good musicians with integrity and stole their sound and image for fame and money. And that is a terrible artistic crime. And they must all pay!

I still love all those bands that have been labeled "grunge" even though I don't really listen to them much anymore.

good grunge. bleach by nirvana was fun. grunge is cool

loool i think they knew what it was...they were just denying it ever existed...isnt that right?

i like listening to candlebox better than shitvana

I think i hafe to agree with this

if you like "grunge" check out the godfathers of said "grunge" the scientists

"grunge's not dead it just deserves to die when it becomes another stale cartoon"

lyric was originally punk's not dead but it can change with the times

yea, i don't see that grunge is really a consistent genre. so many of those bands hold so very little in common. to put pearl jam and nirvana in the same musical genre is just a little insane

pearl jam are one of the worst bands ever

I did go to Olympia last fall. It is a trashcan town. Sorry, Olympians

i agree
even though nirvana is my favorite band
even i can admit
that there weren't the first grunge band
and there's alot that were better
:cool:
