That's how you're 'amped' to 'dump' on his opinion.
Don't be condescending, you know exactly what I meant.

It's too bad you're pissed off that it's called the "Seattle Sound" but it was labeled that 20 years ago, and you didn't have anything to do with it.
The "Seattle Sound" could be various musical genres at any given time, but it's a proper noun, so it has a proper definition.

This is exactly similar to some place being designated as the birthplace of "emo".
In 20 years there might be a kid who lives there that disagrees, but that doesn't change the fact that even though it was a trend, it was also labeled as a genre of music, no matter how much it deviated from true emo.

I'm sorry i'll butter up everything I say from now on.

Grunge was around in 1986?

And when did I disagree grunge didn't come from seattle? I just say considering it the seattle sound is bullshit because of all the other styles that have come out of seattle.
