Nirvana started grunge, it wasn't a genre it was a movement. Kicking off the movement would be starting it.

How you define a good song is subjective, of course many people consider it a good song, why is that so ****ing hard to believe?... Its got a nice catchy riff with a bassline to match, a catchy as hell verse and a great hook... Have you ever took the time to accept that maybe thats all a good song needs?...And im sure the songs generation x message played a part as well...Admit it, once upon a time you ****ing loved this song, until the damn radio and MTV kept playing it over and over and you got sick of it, so blame them, not the band. You are just jumping on a trend that got tiresome years ago, it dosent make you look cool, deal with it.

In Blood a song the youth can relate too?!?!

Sell the kids for food
Weather changes moods
Spring is here again
Reproductive glands

He's the one
Who likes all the pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
And I say aahh

We can have some more
Nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit
Tender age in bloom



Nope 'fraid not.

Nirvana did not start grunge. Mudhoney, Mother Love Bone, Green River, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, were all grunge bands and were all formed BEFORE Nirvana

Did you even read my post?
GRUNGE WAS A MOVEMENT.
IF A BAND KICKS OFF THE MOVEMENT
THEN THAT WOULD BE STARTING IT

Really what makes a grunge band grunge?

Flannel,Hair,Distortion,Seattle.

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
hello, hello, hello, how low?
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay, a denial

Tell me exactly what makes this youth relatable

Not entirely true, the grunge movement DID exist before Nirvana, however it was never popular outside of the local seattle area. The Melvins, Green River, Soundgarden and Mudhoney are some pre Nirvana grunge bands.


That being said, you are dead on right about one thing, which is the most important thing, no one would give a rats ass about grunge or any grunge band if it werent for Nirvana. They launched the movement and made it as huge as it was, they didnt just effect the music that was around at the time, but the rock star image and look as well, their influence is still quite present today, even if grunge is dead, Nirvana lives on. If thats not major impact, i dont know what is.

Then tell me......If all the bands I mentioned were around before Nirvana, and Nirvana started the movement, then what style of music were they before Nirvana came around.

And the first person to use the term "grunge" was Mark Arm of Mudhoney/Green River. And guess what...he used it to describe the music BEFORE Nirvana
