grunger

Someone who follows the Seattle Grunge movement in ALL it's forms, not just fucking Nirvana (get a deal, examples: Hole, L-7, Pearl Jam, Babes In Toyland (although more Riot Grrrl), Alice in Chains, Sound Garden, PAW, Mudhoney, Screaming Trees, yes, and a million more I THANK YOU).

A "grunger" is also an expression for a person who follows this music and not the actual dress of the listener, although in the late 1980's they were associated with flannels and thrift store clothing due to lack of money (most teenagers are often broke because they insist on doing things their own way rather than sapping their daddy's credit cards for the latest football strips and Nike trainers. Get a deal you fucking townies and don't try to define what you'll never understand.

Grudgy

The origin of this term was sprung from three sisters living in the bowels of Sierra Vista, a small town located in southern Arizona; bordering Mexico. Derived from the word “grudge” this describes an action continued in a way that is worthy of an extended hold of said grudge. Grudgy is used as both an adjective and verb. A person who is “grudged” is typically harboring x-amount of hate towards something small. This requires little to no action beyond the simple acknowledgement of the grudge. A person who is “grudgy” shows continuing signs or actions of this poor behavior and is a repeat offender of the original grudge committed. Other terms associated with Grudgy include “grudge” “grudgeball” “grudge-o”

Emily: Oh god, what happened?
Krista: The usual, grudgy customer at work who wouldn't leave my section. Top it off with grudgy dog night since they refuse to stop barking.
Emily: Grudge! I hate days like that!

Soft Grunge

(n.) or (adj.)

A term generally used to describe modern-day teenagers, typically girls between the ages of 14-18, who like create a "hardcore" persona on Tumblr by reblogging pictures of inverted crosses, dip-dyed hair, ying-yang symbols and toilets. They like to pretend that they listen to grunge music by wearing stylish Nirvana tees that match their $200 pair of Doc Martens. If you were ask them who the Misfits were, they'd probably say anyone who isn't sporting spikes this season.

Noun: That purple haired girl over smoking a cigarette in the rain is sooo soft grunge.

Adjective: Check out this soft grunge blog for pictures of girls that look like zombies, cats, and zombie cats!
