Grunge music (sometimes also referred to as the Seattle Sound) is a genre of alternative rock inspired by hardcore punk, heavy metal, and indie rock. It became commercially successful in the early 1990s, peaking in mainstream popularity between 1991 and 1994. Bands from cities in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, such as Seattle, Olympia, and Portland, created grunge and introduced it to mainstream audiences. The genre is closely associated with Generation X in the US, since the popularity of the genre and usage of the generational term rose simultaneously.[1] Grunge was an early defining musical phenomenon of the 1990s which distinguished 1990s rock music from that of the 1980s.
