Do you believe that the grunge is dead?
 
Later the end of Soundgarden, Layne Staley's death and, of course, Kurt Cobain's death, many people say that the grunge is death, but Pearl Jam are still performing and and mounting multitudinous concerts, what do you think?

grunge died the first time some kid said 'grunge's not dead.'

king_buzzo 06.17.2007 02:34 PM

Ohh god..... I agree with whorefrost.

There is no grunge, it was a shitty term used to describe a shitty scene.

Get over it, start flying, flying is good.

As long as I listen to my Candlebox CDs all day every day, grunge will never die.

i like to listen to grunge music that happened during and before the whole grunge thing became popular. But bands like Nickelback trying to do it now is just sad.

Exactly. Like early Mudhoney. From the grunge scene i'd say mudhoney were the best. but their later stuff is much more fun, like Piece of Cake.

Some bands are okay though. I was just listening to nirvana yesterday and my hatchet against them so I think they're pretty cool now. I like krist, krist was cool. plus we speak the same language so yeah hes awesome.

screamingskull 06.17.2007 02:47 PM

i like Nirvana, i like Hole, and Babe's in toyland, and Mudhoney, and Husker Du, and Sound Garden, and Sugar, and the Pixies, and Dinosaur jr. And i'm not afraid to say it.

king_buzzo 06.17.2007 02:51 PM

Hmm, lemme teach you something. Dont dare to call Dinosaur grunge infront of me. Please, its for your own safety...

And i really dont consider Husker Du and Pixies grunge, they certainly were an influence though...

I dislike Hole and all the riot grrrl bands, sorry thats how it is.

I think that the grunge was and it's one of the best movements that have exist, I still listen to nirvana that is my favurite band.. but I believe that these groups left in a good place the grunge, and before the disappearance of the majority of the group of the four I believe that the people would have to leave this kind as this one today in day: in our memory.

Ok, but if grunge was the equivalent of everything that memory has to offer, do you not think that the musical movement would have attached itself to the sphere of conventionality that the interest of sad movement could have spawned? Eh?

God, yes i get your point, but its been said already around a 1000000 times. So please, its not one of the best genres, its certainly original, but its not like a messiah. okay?

Ok ok, but your point doesn't touch the regression into the formality of soundbites, or does it now?

If husker du and the pixies are not grunge then what are they?
and Hole came from that whole Riot Grrrl movement but Live through this is most defiantly a grunge album.

Well, it's just my opinion, for my grunge it can have been quite and now it is not, it is possible that Kurt has been a messiah and now only it is a legend, but I repeat you it's just my opinion.

king_buzzo 06.17.2007 03:08 PM

I know, its just yer opinion. but theres no way he could have been a messiah. What did he do? He ruined the little that was left of that scene and brought out emo and hardcore kids who cry and whine.

Dude, come on, you can't possibly call em grunge. You can't actually fit them into one genre, I'd call them both alternative.

GrungeMonkey 06.17.2007 03:33 PM

The thing is... Nirvana... Soundgarden... Pearl Jam... Alice In Chains... All of these bands sound completely different to one another. I don't like calling these bands "grunge". Although I wouldn't know what else to call them. :/
