A musical style popularized in the mid-80s in the city of Seattle. It's a beautiful marriage of punk, metal and alternative rock. It gives a result of a dirty, heavy and noisy guitar sound and a voice pushed to its maximum spewing the emotions of the singer's personal life. The popularity of grunge is also spread in people's lifestyles and outfits. The end of grunge was marked by the death of Kurt Cobain, lead singer and guitarist of one of the most popular rock band in the world, Nirvana. Today, many alternative rock bands have been influenced by Staley's powerful vocals, Grohl's squared, loud and precise drum beats or McCready's brilliant guitar riffs.

An alternative aesthetic for those people who like to dress normally but want a title. It will consist of bland colors like brown, white and black. People using this aesthetic will think they're so quirky and different but aren't.
Lily: I literally love Grunge core aesthetic! It's so cool!
John: What aesthetic? You look normal?
