a sub culture that actually existed in the 90s but now people are acting grunge. grunge people are people who don’t give a shit and ARE NOT homophobic, transphobic, racist, or any kind of asshole. they piss off people who are stupid and are bitches. they do whatever they want and say fuck the world. they listen to Nirvana, Hole, Alice in chains, etc. not Lana Del Ray, or any of that indie bullshit. i am not disrespecting them, but it’s not grunge.
thank you for coming to my TED talk

A fusion genre of punk rock, alternative rock, and heavy metal produced by members of the Seattle underground rock scene from 1985 to around 1994. Grunge musicians could be identified from their preference for extremely comfortable clothing (often flannel shirts and jeans), a tendency to be kinda smelly, anti-capitalist and feminist lyrical themes, and disregard for societal norms. Stereotypically addicted to heroin or some other heavy drug. Grunge musicians did not identify the genre of music they played, it was really more of a marketing term
Early grunge sounds like a bunch of 14 year olds in a garage band while later grunge sounds much, much more polished.

Grunge that has been mixed with another genre to either appeal to a specific audience or so as to correctly represent the band stylistically.
The term originated as a derogatory slur for bands in the late 90's playing in the style of the early 90's grunge revolution.
However, while some bands WERE simply only using grunge stylings to either attract audiences or make money, many bands did, in fact, feel that their specific sound(s) required varying degrees of grunge influences, along with influences from other sources.
Examples:
Creed
3 Doors Down
Hinder
Foo Fighters
Trapt
Puddle of Mudd
etc.
Matchbox Twenty is not included due to the fact that the majority of their genre is a 70's rock mix, with only very limited influences from grunge.
Also, I have grudgingly included Creed on this list, simply because it is public opinion that they are not grunge simply because their first studio album was released in 1997. It is my belief, however, that Creed has an extremely large percentage of grunge influence, so much so that grunge is their most prevalent genre.

Person 1 is listening to music.
Person 2 walks up and says: God man, you're such a hypocrite for telling me you like grunge, and then going off and listening to this garbage!
Person 1: Who said that I can't listen to music that are similar? It's not like all post-grunge was made to commercially benefit from grunge!
