In the tradistion of "Rastafarian" grunge describes an immage, attitude and genre of music. The apperance was mainly modled on the man dubbed "The generation's spokesman" Kurt Cobain, and featured flannel shirts, torn jeans, converse trainers and baggy sweaters. The music was very toned-down/ volume-up version of punk, but where punk was angry, grunge was disilusioned & generally dissatisfied escape to moan at the world.
Begun in seatle (Mainly by Kurt Cobain and the record-label "Sub-Pop") in the early 90's and often called "Generaation-X" grunge was the last pure genre of music we had.

Get the Grangers United mug.A genre of music that started in the mid-80s. Although it only gained mainstream recognition in the early 90s due to the success of grunge band Nirvana. Nirvana was NOT the first grunge band, but without them, you probably wouldn't even know what grunge is. Grunge is characterized by its big, loud guitar riffs and rough, lazy vocals.
Here's some examples of grunge bands:
Alice In Chains
Mudhoney
Melvins
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Sound garden
Grunge is NOT a theme used on Tumblr to describe artsy pictures of edits of Melanie Martinez.

Get the Grunge mug.A made up word coined by the Sub Pop record label and copped by the media to hype up a bunch of bands mostly originating from Seattle that played loud, angry, heavily distorted and often sarcastic stripped down rock music back in the early '90s. The so called "sound of generation X". The image of depressed long haired flannel wearing punk rock kids. Seized upon by clothing companies like GAP and Calvin Klein to sell cheap clothes at inflated prices.
The Seattle "grunge" scene originated in the mid '80s with bands like Green River, Soundgarden and Melvins. To oversimplify things there were two main categories of "grunge" bands: those who were primarily punk(ie Nirvana) and those were primarily heavy metal(ie Alice in Chains).
At some point in the '90s "grunge" pretty much became synonymous with Alternative rock or anything alternative related. For my money bands like Helmet and Kyuss are just as "grunge" as Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots.
Pioneering "grunge" artists from Seattle all pretty much rejected the label and Kurt Cobain predicted that the movement would fizzle out rapidly because it was over exposed and audiences would begin to see it as clichéd. After Cobain's death the public's interest in "grunge" would decline rapidly while the media companies, mega corporations and marketing firms searched for the next big fad.
When Soundgarden broke up in 1997 the whole thing was pretty much over.
