Meta-gruge

A DnD term for when a character dies with a grudge for another character, the new character can't have the same grudge for no reason
PC: I don't like him.
Dm: why?
PC: He killed my last character!
Dm: Hey, no "meta-gruge"ing! Your new character hasn't the slightest clue that happened!

Grunge Off

Commercially available chemical for cleaning residue from inside of bongs. Contains chemicals you probably shouldn't be inhaling. Use Palmolive mixed with baking soda instead.
Palmolive & baking soda works better than Grunge Off anyway.

grunger

Usually considered a mix of a hippy and a punk. Chilled out guys and girls who listen to grunge: nirvana, soundgarden, hole, mudhoney, pearl jam, stone temple pilots and other Seattle based Sun-Pop bands and also alternative rock and indie: smashing pumpkins, sonic youth etc. Usually wears thrift shop clothing or hand-me-downs.

Post-grunge

Unfortunately underrated subgenre of alternative rock that appeared in the mid-'90s. A category of music that is unfarily judged by idiots as comprising only of crappy bands such as Creed and Nickelback, when, in reality, those terrible bands only became popular years after the awesome, original groups of post-grunge bands popped up.

First of all, post-grunge *is* a defined sound. Post-grunge is influenced by grunge, and alternative rock in general, as well as older bands. Its main traits are distorted, grungey guitars and soft verse/hard chorus song patterns, similar to grunge. However, post-grunge is considerably more radio-friendly than grunge, with a cleaner production.

Post-grunge became massively popular throughout the year of 1995, with hit singles from bands such as Bush, Toadies, Silverchair, Foo Fighters, Collective Soul, and more. Post-grunge bands didn't carry the pretentious, fake "anti-fame" attitude exhibited by the original grunge bands, and weren't afraid to create catchy, memorable songs; these songs charted higher on the Billboard Hot 100 and Top 40 charts than any grunge song. By the middle of the year, grunge had faded away, with post-grunge, industrial rock, and alternative rock in general being the new dominant forces on rock radio.

Post-grunge can be very AWESOME, depending on what you're listening to. As long as you avoid Creed and Nickelback, post-grunge is good stuff. Basically, what post bands did was take the grunge sound and sugarcoat it. People claim post-grunge ripped off grunge, but if you wanna go by that token, grunge ripped off just as much from '70/'80s bands, and even Nirvana were almost sued for ripping off a song from Killing Joke. Here's my opinion: If you think a song sounds good, listen to it, and enjoy, regardless of whether or not it's a poppy radio song. Make up your own decision, don't bash something just because it's the 'cool' thing to do.

Recommended songs:
Bush - Everything Zen, Greedy Fly
Silverchair - Israel's Son, Freak
Collective Soul - Gel, Where The River Flows
Seven Mary Three - Cumbersome, Water's Edge
Filter - Hey Man Nice Shot, Jurassitol
Foo Fighters - I'll Stick Around, Monkeywrench
Live - I Alone, Lightning Crashes
Brother Cane - And Fools Shine On
Sponge - Plowed
Toadies - Tyler, Possum Kingdom
Typical grunge snob: LOL, post-grunge sucks!

Some guy: One word: TOADIES.

Typical grunge snob: Oh, yeah... I guess I was just thinking of crappy, fake bands such as Creed and Nickelback, who are terrible representations of what is truely a great sub-genre. I'm gonna go punch myself now, for being so stupid!

grunger

Grunger can be a couple different things, they could also be called rocker,mosher,and even somtimes stoner...if ur like uber mellowed out, but im going to use the one for my school. A grunger is someone who dosnt follow the crowd, and dont give a rats ass what people think about them. They might dress dirty or unclean. Might wear ripped or baggy jeans, and chains, and a band shirt. Maybe even some flannel. their hair might be greasy and long and messy. grungers like to rokc out in mosh pits, and some grunge bands like to go all out, like break stuff and jump into the pits, basically they like to rock. but outside them, grungers are typically melow people who dont like to fight much. certain ones often mumble and speak unclearly or in a distorted voice. i myself am a grunger. i pretty much do everything one here. now this might not be right as a definition, but then again. its the one we use in my school, so before u even say, "dude ur all rong, this is bull shit, ur a f**king idiot", remember, ITS MY F**KING DEFINITION U DOUCHE!!!!!
Kurt Cobain (father of grunge)

That kid looks like a grunger, hes really unclean and dirty.

grunger

A grunger is someone who wears what they want because they like it (not because they're friends do) and because it's comfortable. They usually like rock, metal, pop-punk etc, but thats not strictly necessary. Despise cacker a.k.a. chavs because they are scum of society and need to be deleted quite honestly. Only resort to violence if absolutely necessary to be honest. They have a great time and don't care what anyone thinks!! Oh, and if they have BB guns, they will shoot chavs.
Hey, look at the size of that imbiciles earrings. He he he, fucking chavs. Wow look, a guns n' roses T shirt!

Hard Grunge

Similar to soft-grunge, but the pictures are generally less faded and mass produced than the "soft-grunge" ones on Tumblr. Pictures usually depict people like Kurt Cobain, Sky Ferreira, and Taylor Momsen. Pictures of non-celebrities usually depict any woman with dyed hair, a grunge, band t-shirt, doc martens, and cigarettes or some alcoholic beverage. Hard-grunge usually does NOT try to promote ed, depression, anxiety, or self-harm, unlike it's twin: soft-grunge, although bloggers will sometimes reblog sad quotes and scars if they feel like it. A lot of bloggers on Tumblr will try to seem grunge by dressing up like the people they see on their blog, although they know nothing about what they're doing. These people are in it for the aesthetic rather than appreciating the culture and genre itself. Hard-grunge is practically the anti-soft-grunge. Soft-grunge is NOT grunge. Let me repeat: SOFT-GRUNGE IS NOT GRUNGE. HARD-GRUNGE IS REGULAR GRUNGE. SOFT-GRUNGE GIVES PEOPLE THE WRONG IMPRESSION OF GRUNGE AS A GENRE AND CULTURE. STOP.

A couple good examples of hard grunge blogs are uncool-coolkid.tumblr.com and shadow-grunge.tumblr.com
thank you.
Fake grunge kid: follow my soft-grunge blog for some faded pictures of bruises!!!!!!! :)))
Grunge kid- lmao no follow my account for pictures of concerts and people having fun. since you kids ruined grunge, we had to create hard grunge although we were original, not you.
