GRUNGE

Yeahman.
Like,
Whatever.
Grungers are the most fuck-off hardcore rockers you'll find. Filthy, uncaring and quite often stoned, they have created some of the best music ever to grace Earth.
Some say Green River started this phenomina, but this is argued. And to be honest, I can't be fucked.
Nirvana weren't the only, nor the best, grunge band ever. They just brought it to the masses.
All you fuckers who are obsessed with Nirvana ought to give Mudhoney, Dinosaur Jr., Pixies, L7 and Temple of The Dog a listen.
I could go on.
But I don't wanna.

Nobby of minor but very talented band, Cosmic Creeper, made me fall in love with this genre. So like, give it a listen. And we'll play catch with some vibes.
Nobby: Man, you gotta get some good music in you, Grunge (a.k.a Seattle Sound, dummy) is what YOU need..
Me: Like, FERRSURE MAYBE - FERRSURE NOT!

-weeks later-

Nobby: DUDE. Your hairrrr...
Me: Yeahmann. Haven't washed it in weeks.
Nobby: Fuckin' sweet, man.

Post-grunge

The broadest musical category ever. Essentially created for the lazy ass music critics so they don't have to say what specific kind of music a band has.
Person1 - Dude, what's post-grunge?
Person2 - Better question: what's NOT post-grunge?

[grunge]

a genre of music that's not just Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Mainly consists of dirty guitar chords with lower tuning and lots of distortion. The grunge "look" consists of ripped jeans, flannel shirts and a I-don't-care attitude. The so called "godfather" of grunge, Kurt Cobain hated the word to describe the music. Nirvana was the first to popularize grunge (unintentionally), but they are not the only grunge band, Alice in Chains and Soungarden are other examples. If you want to act grunge, you have to be chilled out and not really care, respect women and others and hate jocks. Obscure indie bands are good too.
Grunge isn't dead, it's just taking a lazy afternoon nap.

Post-Grunge

A genre of music that basically describes any music inspired by grunge bands but isn't grunge. Usually post-grunge guitar is less distorted and the music is a little more pop inspired. This music has unfortunately dominated modern rock radio since about 1995.
Seether, Staind, Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Three Days Grace, Matchbox 20, Candlebox, Foo Fighters, Audioslave, and Creed.

Stone Temple Pilots had a grunge sound on Core however, their later albums were post-grunge.
