Get the grundeller mug.A darker version of grunge. Typically wears black and incorporates grunge items such as flannel and ripped jeans. Listens to both grunge music such as Nirvana or Soundgarden and goth rock such as Bauhaus or The 69 Eyes.
Anastasia: I love Bauhaus but I also love Pearl Jam. What does that make me?
Micah: A human. But if you have to label yourself, then you'd be goth grunge.

Get the goth grunge mug.Green. Having or possessing several tattoos and possibly a very sexy badge and a taser which he can whip out at any time to defend your honor, just in case. Also very highly sexually charged, with a touch of genius. Crazy doesn't even begin to cover it, but if you start with insanity and add pure sexy you might come close.

Get the Grince mug.A grunger is a person who listens to grunge music mostly from the early 90's Seattle (including bands like Mudhoney, Nirvana, Soundgarden and Green river) and dresses accordingly. A grunger might be caught wearing clothes such as torn jeans, flannel shirts and tennis shoes (or babydoll dresses and screaming red lipstick if she happens to be a girl), but clothing doesn't really make a difference, because a grunger wears clothes that are COMFORTABLE and doesn't pay attention to appearance. A grunger might sometimes be perceived as dirty, because they don't give much thought to hygiene. As it seems, a lot of people have the misconception that a grunger wears baggy jeans and baseball caps and carries around a skateboard. That's not the case though. Grunge has nothing to do with skating and a typical grunger would probably not wear baggy jeans, caps or skating shoes. Grungers are usually past teenage, since the grunge movement became more common in the late 80's and early 90's. Unlike punkers, grungers don't feel the need to be particularly rebellious, they just don't care. Grunge is mostly about the love for a certain kind of music.
