Progressive Grunge

A sub-genre of grunge which incorporates both the loud, dirty guitar sounds and simple riffs of the grunge movement with such progressive rock techniques as frequent time signature changes and parts of songs written in 'modes' instead of keys.

It is significantly different from the original grunge movement, in the sense that the pop hooks have been replaced with alternative-pop hooks.

Like Grunge, progressive grunge is considered an underground movement which has recently had a global rise in popularity. Particularly in The US, Australia and Europe.

Unlike Post-Grunge which was condemned by Grunge fans world-wide, progressive grunge has been welcomed whole-heartedly by the flannel wearing community.

The following bands identify as being of progressive grunge...

Australia -

Inca (Brisbane, Aus)
Burning Mirrors (Brisbane, Aus)
Sonic Porno (Brisbane, Aus)

United States -

Metamorphis Charm (Seattle, US)

Europe/UK -

Sjael (Copenhagen, DK)

grunge style

Grunge is epitomised in bands like Nirvana. It conveys an "I don't give a fuck" attitude. It is loosely tied in with rock and punk, but stands as it's own genre of music and style of dress. Instead of going out of their way to be the opposite of a "conformist", people with grunge style simply don't participate. They are generally the ones who play guitar, live for the music, let their hair get knotted, their clothes filthy and their attitudes nonchalant. They just don't care, they throw on whatever. Kurt did it the best.

"Sweetheart, you should really shower and put some more thought into your outfits, unless you're trying to work the whole grunge style thing"

Grunge Knob

After a quick $10 bang with the local prostitite on the way home from work, Roger stopped at the gas station to wash the stink off his Grunge Knob before going home to get a little head from his wife.
