But would you say at this point there are only a few bands left, and that the music of that time is all that Grunge is nowadays, or does the lifestyle/ "fashion" and everything else still live on? Curious to know how this is reflected on in America today, as I myself being from Sweden don´t really have any good input in the matter...
In my experience as an American teenager in the early 90s, it wasn't really a subculture, just a way to market music. Because of that there was never really any "grunge lifestyle" to continue on. As far as the music goes, some of the bands still exist and there are some newer bands who play grunge I guess.
