I'll tell you what grunge isn't

grunge is not a fashion statement. it was turned into one by preppy assed MTV suckers who thought Kurt Cobain was the shit, then took flannel shirts and ripped jeans to the runway.

Grunge is not alive. although there are some pretty great bands out there that sound grunge, and Pearl Jam is still making records, grunge is essentially dead

Grunge is not homo music. although grunge does not tend to slander or bash homosexuals, it is not homosexual music. it is usually called homosexual music by disgruntled hair metal fans, who are pissed off that grunge peed out the last embers of their dying scene. but you have to remember, these people idolize men who wear womens makeup and pantihose, who use more hairspray than a chick, and seem to have to show each other their cocks all the time? whats gayer, pantihose or ripped jeans... mmm i dunno!
fans of shit-assed nu metal bands like slipknot and Marilyn Manson seem to rip on Grunge for homosexuality quite a bit.but tell me who's gayer, a quartet from seattle, sometimes featuring one or more girls, or nine fat middle aged men wearing condoms and bondage gear on their heads? mmm... another tough one.

Grunge is not just Nirvana. contrary to what MTV tells you, grunge had a lot more bands than that. bands that were better than Nirvana, that only some people heard of. Pearl Jam, alice in chains, STP, Soundgarden. grunge had bands that were better than Nirvana that no one heard of. Mudhoney, Mo...

The greatest rock band of all time. They've written and recorded more iconic rock and roll songs than most other bands even have played on the radio. These include: Satisfaction, Paint It Black, Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, Street Fighting Man, Jumpin' Jack Flash, and Sympathy For The Devil. The four current members of the Rolling Stones are Mick Jagger (vocals), Keith 'Keef' Richards (guitar/vocals), Ron Wood (guitar), and Charlie Watts (drums).

In short, a band started by Chris Cornell and Matt Cameron(Soundgarden)Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard (Mother Love Bone) Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) and then unknown singer Eddie Vedder to pay tribute to late Mother Love Bone member Andrew Wood who died of a drug overdose.

Andrew Wood was Chris Cornells former roomate and friend. Temple of the Dog created only 1 album with the hit single "Hunger Strike" which features a Vedder and Cornell duo.

Temple Of The Dog is just a mere piece of history that was formed between these two bands (Soundgarden and Pearl Jam) as they became two of the top Grunge bands.

The bands album and purpose was that of true friends and music heros. The
