Grunge

A musical style popularized in the mid-80s in the city of Seattle. It's a beautiful marriage of punk, metal and alternative rock. The result is a dirty, heavy and noisy guitar sound and a voice pushed to its maximum spewing the emotions of the singer's personal life. The popularity of grunge is also spreading in people's lifestyles and outfits. The end of grunge was marked by the death of Kurt Cobain, lead singer and guitarist of the world's most popular rock band, Nirvana. Today, many alternative rock bands have been influenced by Staley's powerful vocals, Grohl's squared and precise drum beats or McCready's brilliant guitar riffs.
Temple Of The Dog was qualified as a grunge band style.

electronic grunge

An apt pseudonym for the blight that is dubstep. Quiet-loud-quiet-loud, repeat ad nauseum until the drugs run out. And you thought big beat was simple and repetitive. Skrillex makes The Prodigy look like fucking Strauss.
