The Official Grunge Thread

Brad Stengel · 09-17-2008, 11:15 AM

From what Ive seen theres just as many people(if not MORE) people who listen to grunge right now in 2008 as there are kids that listen to emo. For example, I dont know if its true for the rest of the country, but on Boston radio, the alternative station probably plays 3 Nirvana songs, 2 pearl jam songs, 2 stp songs, and an alice in chains song for every 1 good charlotte song. Its overwhelming. Ive pretty much avoided emo jams my whole life, as opposed to grunge which Im surrounded by. Its like the new classic rock, a whole new litter of bands to overplay, thus sucking out any possible enjoyment I may have once had for them.

Oh, and on a related note, anyone want to join my grunge band, "Grump-Truck"? It sounds alot like my other band, "Angry-Dozer". We need a drummer.

Heh. That's an understatement. Grunge was basically the default style of rock music during that time period. It was everywhere, including on the cover of Time magazine:

They're right

Pearl Jam did give voice to the passions & fears of my generation.

As in 'when is this shitty genre going to die and when are we going to hear some good bands instead of this shit' being my biggest fear
