Grunge Rock originated in the 90's, with bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and The Foo Fighters. Nirvana was truly the original grunge rock band making it mainstream in Seattle. Through their demeanor, style, and lyrics, they reached a large majority of the teens and young adults who could relate to the darkness behind their music. A lot of their music represented the issues of the days youth. Many felt that they could relate to Kurt Cobains lyrics. Bands in the 90's tried to recreate the feel of Nirvana by growing out their hair, men wearing dark eye makeup, and baggy jeans. A sort of gothic look to them became appealing to the Grunge Rock followers. A lot of bands stemmed off of their style, especially after the overdose of Kurt Cobain.
Grunge Rock didn't last very long, once the 2000's hot that's when alternative rock came into play and it brought a whole new sound. Bands still play and create music from the grunge rock era but with a different sound, but same purpose. One of the most political grunge rock bands is Pearl Jam. Grunge rock is personally one of my favorites because its what my parents grew up listening to so it is what I have grown up listening to.

I agree and i kinda wish it did stick around
ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting that this type of music wasn't able to stick around. It seemed popular or at least well enough liked by people because they could relate to it. I wonder if we had bands like that today if they would still make the same impression on people as they did years ago.
