Soft Grunge

(n.) or (adj.)

A term generally used to describe modern-day teenagers, typically girls between the ages of 14-18, who like create a "hardcore" persona on Tumblr by reblogging pictures of inverted crosses, dip-dyed hair, ying-yang symbols and toilets. They like to pretend that they listen to grunge music by wearing stylish Nirvana tees that match their $200 pair of Doc Martens. If you were ask them who the Misfits were, they'd probably say anyone who isn't sporting spikes this season.

Noun: That purple haired girl over smoking a cigarette in the rain is sooo soft grunge.

Adjective: Check out this soft grunge blog for pictures of girls that look like zombies, cats, and zombie cats!

Tumblr Grunge

what a bunch of 13-16 year olds on tumblr define as Grunge:
-inverted crossses
-Nirvana tee shirts
-high wasted, studded, and acid washed shorts
-nebula tights
-beanies
-trashy items meant to look like they were bought at Goodwill, but actually worth $100 or more
-hair dyed light pink/blue/green/any pastel color
-public idolization of Kurt Cobain, whitlist Flo Rida autoplays on their blog
-only pictures of fashion/hipster girls

tumblr grunge is complete bullshit and should be stomped out because grunge is a GENRE OF MUSIC.
