who killed grunge?????

It was this guy. I saw him. Honest.

 

Memo to DaisyMae: Stop worshipping my body unless you intend to do something about it.

Post-script: Oops, wrong thread.

 

Jock rockers killed grunge. And it depends on where you grew up, you need the angst and you get that from broken families alcoholic parents. And growing up with lumberjacks while you hate macho guys.

Grunge was brought on buy a war in Iraq, massive unemployment and a feeling of bitterness and alienation among the youth towards the world they were left.

I grew up with all this shit and I'm the definition of grunge. I wear The flannel/Mr. Rogers shirt over a T-shirt with some obscure band on it. I wear the ripped jeans, hell I only have one pair of jeans. I have long greasy hair, hell I can't remember the last time I washed my hair. And I wear the converse tennis shoes.

I hate myself and want to die. I have the atitude and I like the music, and I hope to create a band it I can find some people in this shit hole of a city that don't like metal. I fucking hate metal.

Anyways grunge comes from small towns and cities like Seattle. If you weren't from a place like this you weren't grunge. You were just another trendies copying what they saw on MTV.

 

Bull fuckin' shit. You don't have to be from Seattle to be grunge. And I'm sure as hell not copying something on MTV; I've never watched MTV.

Sure, I'm not the first to be grunge. But that doesn't mean I'm copying anything. I saw the grunge thing, and adopted it. Not because I like the way it looks on someone else, but because I like the way it feels for me.

Edit: And all you did just now was decribe one type of grunge: The Kurt Cobain type. There's more than that out there. But if that's the only type of grunge there is, then fuck it; I'm not grunge.

Sorry I got a little pissed off, but I'm not very good at suffering fools.

 

Ricky Martin Killed Grunge!!!!!!

 

yeah i was not much into grunge for the whole MTV thing or the fashion thing. It was about the music for me and how i related to it, i spent a lot of time in my room during those years with no friends because i was "creative" or you could call it "manic-depressive ADHD" i grew outta the mental shit or maybe i grew to be able to controll it who knows and i have ventured out and made some friends and i always had clean hair but i still hold onto the music, it is one of the things i loved during my early teen years, going to shows at the sk8 park and community center ahh how i miss those days........​

Seatlle is not so small, hell I am from a tiny ass town! Guess that makes me extra grunge..............................​

 

I miss all my friends back in Indianapolis. But listening to Siamese Dream always causes the memories to pour...

I added you to my AIM list, 'cause I'm bored and you listed it, but you haven't signed on. Just letting you know, I guess. *shrug*

 

Hey Cirrhosis, I didn't say you had to come from Seattle you anal ****. But thats where the grunge movement came from. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, Sonic Youth. All from Seattle. You don't have to be from seattle but for the very least know what grunge is before you say your grunge. Its not a fashion statment half these people couldn't afford nice clothes.

If you really want to be "grunge" do your own thing, local bands represent local towns. Your local color.

And another thing Cirrhosis, you adopted it but didn't copy it? Whats the fucking differance?

The Kurt Cobain type? No I'm sure they all wore flannel and T-shirts, hmmm they all had long hair and wore leather. They all played those vintage 60's guitars? If you think this applies to only Kurt Cobain maybe you should take a look at the other Grunge bands if you actually know any. They all had to have somthing in common to even be classified as grunge togather.

I must have minsunderstood you. You see,you were describing more than physical feature and tattribute. You described emotions and feelings, and the reasons behind them. The whole lumberjack/macho thing was exclusive to Kurt and Krist and others, but not all.

"If you really want to be "grunge" do your own thing, local bands represent local towns. Your local color."

I agree.

"And another thing Cirrhosis, you adopted it but didn't copy it? Whats the fucking differance?"

I already told you. I didn't become "grunge" because I liked the way it looked on someone else. I'm "grunge" because I like the way it feels on me. That's the difference.

"The Kurt Cobain type? No I'm sure they all wore flannel and T-shirts, hmmm they all had long hair and wore leather. They all played those vintage 60's guitars?

I already responded to this after your first paragraph.

 

Kay sorry bout the misunderstanding.

 

No problem. The internet can be tricky like that.

 

Uh oh, I smell another grunge movement coming on.....

 

We can only hope.

 

Yeah it won't be a grunge movement but we definatly need a movement with the alienated youth of this generation. Unfortunatly I haven't seen an actual band break through to the mainstream in a long time.

Perhaps you should look for a band called Rat Genitals fronting the movement!

 

jam bands are getting bigger but i dont think they will really catch on. i hated the whole pop-punk movement of good charlotte, avril and goddamn sum 41...........thank god that shit is almost over but looks like it may be going into something worse like 15 year old girls singing that have no talent like hillary duff MY freaking god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

No, the next step is indie bands selling out. Modest Mouse, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jet, etc., etc. Elliott Smith got out at the right time.

 

ugh. grunge. i completely withdrew from the world of the young when grunge became the IT thing in high school. talk about your uniforms. why should i ruin some perfectly good clothes just to look stylish? though i did like the boots. but everything was black and brown and flannel. people smelled bad and looked worse. no thank you.


i rebelled i came up with some crazy-colored outfits. was a lot more fun.

 

Not all of us did it because it was the trendy thing. Not all of us bought $40 flannels at The Gap. Some of us got them for $1.50 at Value Villiage. And some of us still do.

 

well you coulda washed them once in a while. i swear to god, it was the most fucking ridiculous thing i ever saw seeing upper middle class OC kids running around spending money to look broke. i figure at that point (when it becam HIP) any self respecting broke person would go out of their way to look cleaner.
