One thing. "rape me" is not a metal song. Its a nirvana song, therefore it is grunge. Secondly, please don't get grunge confused with goth. Grungers don't care about individuality, they just DON'T CARE! And it is very rich coming from a rap fan, you must have missed a few crucial lessons on individuality. I would just like to say one thing in the defense of all rockers, i have never had any trouble from anyone NOT wearing sports clothes (aka townies/chavs/scallies/wotever). I rest my case.
Rap sucks, i mean, theres no talent, anyone can get up and do it! Unless they're Busted in which case they can't talk because i've already ripped out their vocal chords. mwahaha

The mortal enemy of the Scobe. Like the scobe, can generally be seen wearing a hoody. Except that instead of Nike, Addidas or some stupid rapper, it will advertise Kurt Cobain, or some metal band. Generally wearing baggy pants and long hair that always needs a wash, they do share one interest with the scobe. Hash.
Most grungers become grungers because they claim to not wish to conform to trends. However, in doing so the grungers themselves have become conformists. The only basic difference is the type of music they listen to.

Get the grungers mug.Lets see then . . . well grungers are teenagers (normally boys but there are girl grungers too) that mainly listen to: Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, Heavy Metal, Hard Metal, Love Metal, New Wave Of British Metal a.k.a NWOBM (eg: iron maiden), Gothic Metal, Gothic Rock.
Grungers wear: baggy jeans (normally cost £40), long t - shirts with a band name on it, hoodies with band name on it, skateboarding shoes or boots, chains.
Many people have made the mistake that grungers skateboard. Well this is wrong, a skater is someone that skateboards and generally listens to Punk music and other bands like Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Grungers don’t have to skate (I don’t) but can do if they wish.
A grunger doesn't get into fights but only resorts to violence as a last resort.
A grunger's most hated enemy is a townie; townies are scumbags that wear disgusting (unisex) tight clothing, listen to garage music and speak in an untranslatable language.
General Info:
Grungers normally get their clothes from Camden Market.
Most Grungers get a kick out of extreme gore!
A grunger’s favourite colour is normally black.
Most grungers scar old people (not intentionally) lol.
Grungers have long hair.
Grungers don't care what others think, as long as they're happy with what they wear, listen too and do in life, then a grunger is on top of the world :)
ROCK ON!

Get the grunger mug.Late form of *mostly* US punk, for the most part characterized by:
-gloriously filthy distortion on guitar and often on bass
-LOTS of feedback
-thick sound, usually in the lower octaves
-being generally raw and “unpolished” (but still good quality, mind you!)
-vocals that are either loud, mumbling, and unintelligible; yelled angrily and are, once again, unintelligible; or overly pronounced in a bitter, pissed off, or sarcastic manner
-lyrics that are often metaphoric and angsty, crestfallen, regretful, bitter, ironic, sarcastic, disdainful, symbolic, etc.
-lack of focus on looks/appearances and more focus on the music itself
-being against sexism, racism, and homophobia (and pretty much any other kind of discrimination)
-lack of emphasis on being “macho”
-being supportive of female involvement in music
Bands such as Green River, Mother Love Bone, Mudhoney, Alice in Chains, The Melvins, Stone Temple Pilots, Hole, Screaming Trees, Nirvana*, Dinosaur Jr., Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Silverchair, etc. (and trust me, there’s a lot more)
*Nirvana is not the first grunge band (Green River is more like it), nor are they the best one. They’re great and one of my favorite bands, but there are plenty that equal or outdo them. And for the record, Smells Like Teen Spirit is nowhere NEAR their best song, and Nevermind is CERTAINLY not their best album. Bleach is a far better album, and as for songs, Paper Cuts, Floyd the Barber, Scoff, Downer, Milk It, Pennyroyal Tea, and Scentless Apprentice all completely OWN Smells Like Teen Spirit.
**Disclaimer-esque-thingy: Although reading about different genres of music is informative and beneficial, the best way to learn about any type of music is to go buy the CD and experience it yourself (at full volume). And for goodness sake, please refrain from listening to it on those godawful devices known as MP3 players. CD players, boomboxes, and multiple-disk stereo systems are the way to go!

Get the grunge mug.Grungers do not really care what they wear. They think chavs are the lowest of the low, and that townies should be shot.
They are usually quite good-hearted, easy-going, happy people who don't spend much money on clothes.
They usually have a good register of language and they are often quite knowledgeable or clever.

Idiot: You're stupid.
Grunger: Is that so? Oh well.
Idiot: You're f*cked up and freaky.
Grunger: Ok then.
*Listens to music and ignores idiot*

Get the grunger mug.A derivative genre of grunge that incorporates other elements of rock. The earliest varieties had mainly strophic melodies with folk and hard rock auras (Pearl Jam, Collective Soul, The Smashing Pumpkins, the Foo Fighters). Approaching the twenty-first century, post-grunge had diversified. Some bands drew from a melodic grungy punk vibe (e.g. Eve 6, Feeder), some blended bluesy or soulful singing with a subtle Jam Rock/Glam Rock facade (Counting Crows, Matchbox Twenty, Spacehog, Dishwalla, Marcy Playground), some were engrossed in turning nu metal into an alternating consonant-dissonant sound (Creed, Limp Bizkit, Incubus, even Live had undertones), some were inspired by the ethereal ear wash of psychedelic ambiance of Space Rock (Course of Nature, The Tea Party, Ours, 3 Doors Down's "Kryptonite,"), some thrived off the pumped drumming and psychedelic strumming of Stoner Rock (primarily bands whose earlier songs were classified as Grunge, such as Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, STP), and some flooded their melodies with the flat minor chords characteristic of blues rock (Mad Season, Powderfinger, Wide Mouth Mason, Kenny Wayne Shepherd). In the early 2000's, post-grunge garnered a widespread mainstream crowd with bands who focused on the mellifluous fluctuations of the singing voice and on a Roots Rock/Soft Rock instrumental precedence (Lifehouse, O.A.R., The Calling, Matthew Good Band).
continuation
Some post-grunge bands during the earliest part of the twenty-first century time also interlaced hard rock with pop and folk overlays (Nickelback, Default, Days of the New, even Aerosmith's 2001 comeback).As alternative metal gained popularity in the middle of the 2000's, post-grunge saw a heavier metal influence with an explosive sing-along chorus (Three Days Grace, Puddle of Mudd, Crossfade, Alter Bridge). Once the 2010's hit, post-grunge chiefly shifted to a Southern Rock/bluesy hard rock texture (Black Stone Cherry, Cavo, Saving Abel, Redlight King, Halestorm). Most of what you hear on contemporary rock radio stations are a marriage of alternative metal and post-grunge, as these two genres are not as discrepant and have blurred together (Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Sick Puppies, Adelitas Way, this list is endless). Pretty soon, post-grunge will be outshone by a perceptible post-post-grunge genre.
