Music that killed grunge worse than a bullet to Kurt Cobain's head or Layne Staley's speedball overdose ever could. Post-grunge is a more mainstream version of grunge music, which seems a rather inoffensive thing at first, but contemporary acts such as Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback, Three Doors Down, Godsmack, Staind, Creed and Three Days Grace reveals the genre to be a parody of original grunge. Exaggerated attempts at singing like Eddie Vedder, predictable and formulatic song structures, and insincere angst with no artistic quality are characteristics of post-grunge.
(Listening to typical rock radio station)

Thomas: Hey, this kinda sounds like Alice in Chains, only the guitar sucks, the lyrics are trite, and the singer's vocal range is garbage.

Fred: Yeah, that's Godsmack, another post-grunge act.

A sub genre of grunge music that emerged in the early to mid 1990's. It is characterized by a mix of grunge, space rock, psychedelic rock, and shoe gazing. Some space grunge bands may include Failure, The Smashing Pumpkins (early), and My Bloody Valentine just to name a few.
Dude, the band Failure is like the ultimate space grunge band!

Dude, that is so correct!

Indie grunge is a style influenced by bands around the 1990's e.g. Nirvana, Pearl Jam etc

Indie stands for individual so 'weird and wonderful' kin of look. Mixing it with the rebellious grunge makes a softer version of it appealing to many people.

•Distressed jeans/shorts/tights
•Band tshirts and tshirts with some colour
•Round glasses
Combat boots

Aesthetic Grunge

This is definitely my personality type. Aesthetic Grunge belongs to the type of people who listen to Halsey, Melanie Martinez, or any other unknown, kind of alternative pop artist. They mostly wear black clothing with a flannel tied around their waist. Their typical emotions are anxiety, sadness, and angst. Most Aesthetic Grungies are girls between the ages of 13 and 19. They don't actually smoke, but they tell other people that they vape to seem cool or rebellious. If you're confused about this personality type, just look up "aesthetic grunge" on google images and you'll get the gist.
Normal Person: Wait, so you're not grunge?
Me: Nope.
Normal Person: Pastel Goth?
Me: I'm aesthetic grunge. It's a combination of the two.

Soft Grunge

Share definition
White suburbs teenage girls who wear classic rock, metal or grunge band shirts paired with black skinny jeans that may have rips in them and black boots or black tennis shoes. They even wear flannels either around their waist or normaly. They have long hair that's bone straight that has unnatural hair color in it. They run blogs that contain content like bruises/hickeys on a white women's body, gore, NIRVANA, 5sos, a sad auote, anything related to depression or mental illness. They claim they know what grunge is but if you ask em they'll say 5sos or the only band they know that is grunge, Nirvana. They talk about Kurt Cobain like they knew him personally and aim to look like his DAUGHTER Frances Bean Cobain. They like to say 5 Seconds Of Summer is punk rock. They listen to shit like Arctic Monkeys, The 1975, and 5sos. They'll wear band shirts like Greenday and if you ask them what their favorite song is they'll say American Idiot. Basically the scene kids of today.
