I don't get it, what's "grunge"? Because

Grunge was just a label slapped on a bunch of Seattle band by the lazy media. I guess you could say it was more of an aesthetic than a musical style. Flannel shirts and long hair and perceived "slackerism". It never was an actual musical style.

I understand. Just wondering because having gone through the list of grunge bands they vary wildly in styles.

>>72882086
What genres would you assign to the individual grunge bands?

>>72881962
a marketing term used for rock bands coming out of the pacific nw in the early nineties

Even though they were pretty much different genres, they did have an aesthetic or stylistic link that tied them together.
I can't really put my finger on it, but they all seemed like a "sludgier" (for lack of a better term) version of their respective genres.

It's not necessarily a derogatory term. Same with dadrock.

nirvana was a psychedelic punk band, friend

>Nirvana = Punk
>Pearl Jam = Hard Rock
>AiC = Heavy Metal / Alt Metal
>Soundgarden = Alt Metal

>>72884270
There's nothing psychedelic about their music

>>72881962
Grunge is punk rock for depressed people.

>>72884402
Isn't that was post-punk was

>>72884327
they had a groovy psychedelic sound on many songs, mostly due to krist's bass lines

>>72884433
Sounds good when you're stoned =/= psychedelic

>>72884416
Well it came from postpunk.

>>72884459
I'd say it came from hardcore

Just acremimder there aren't as many genres as you fags think there are

>>72884445

>>72884402
>punk rock for depressed people

IN UTERO

>>72884293
>>Nirvana = Punk
in bleach it was sludge influenced, then nevermind/incesticide it was noise rock then to in utero it was noise rock with a lil folkish rock

>>72884079
they're both shit terms for hating on classic rock

>>72884635
not at all psychadelic

>>72884695
How the fuck is Nevermind and insecticide noise rock?
In utero only has a couple of noise rock songs.

>>72884635
if In Utero is psych then I guess have my rock albums are psych

>>72884722
half* it's getting late..

If any band was psychedelic it was Soundgarden

>>72884736
Was just about to say this. They really wore their influences on their sleeves in that regard

>>72884720
>Nevermind and insecticide noise rock
endless nameless and the general distorted guitar riffs, its watered down like hell but it is definitely noise rock
