Disagree

Nirvana was a Grunge band.

OMG totally disagree they were GRUNGE anyone who thinks there punk does not know music

bardonodude · 06-27-2007, 05:48 PM

Grunge is basically a slower version of punk fused with country it seems to me lol

bardonodude · 06-27-2007, 05:51 PM

I bet nirvana or any band with any integrity would hate someone saying "theyre (insert genre here)" most bands dont like being labeled and why does it matter?

I ask your typical Punk fan and they would scoff at the idea.
As far as attitude goes, maybe. And they had some punky tunes such as Territorial Pissings. Overall i'd say no though.

A lot of people seem to be very hung up on 'labels' here. I personally think they had a 'punk' attitude in the early days - i.e. not giving a sh*t and doing their own thing - but hey what does it matter? It's only my opinion. Tag whatever label you like onto it but it doesn't change the music.

I think they were punk, but what the media/world has done to them since Kurt died has made them as un-punk as possible.

It started way before he died.

I half-agree, it would be wrong to classify them as pure punk or pure grunge, they were a very diverse band. For example, (in my opinion) Heart-Shaped Box doesn't belong in the same genre as say Negative Creep.

DISAGREE - they are a combination of grunge, rock, punk, alternative....the list continues.

Not at all how I had imagined it, but worse than I thought that it could have been.
