Musical traits include a large usage of cymbals, lazy vocal delivery, deep raspy/sludgy guitars focused on riffing, and deep bass. Grunge is a pretty broad genre. Although it is omore often fused with alternative, punk, and metal genres, it can also be fused with power pop (Eve's Plum), Psychedelic (Truly), and it has even been combined with shoegaze in the underground community, creating "Grungegaze."
