Of course you do.

[Grunge_Junkie]

its true though.

Haha grunge_junkie...
And really mainstream is what made the artists hate it, but it can still sound good.
Hopefully no one here didn't just go through a Led Zeppelin phase. XD

It can, but in the case of grunge it didn't. I like a lot of the music that directly influenced grunge but not grunge itself.

[Ahem]

I guess it's just sort of for the grunge fan. Like I hate rap, but I like some of the rap metal songs that would have never been without it.

That's the exact reverse of what I was saying.

[Ahem]

I was giving the example to agree with you. I think I wrote it wrong anyway but what I meant was that I don't even care what it means, who it was for, or anything else. I like what it sounds like and there's just no possible way to argue with that from anyone.

Don't know about who the oldest grunge fan to post here is, but I was in college back when grunge was taking off. Although I'm more a fan of metal, I love certain grunge bands: Alice In Chains, Tad, Melvins (often called grunge), Willard, Mother Love Bone, and Soundgarden. When the mood hits, I enjoy Nirvana and Stone Temple Pilots. I never enjoyed the slew of 'garage' (for lack of a better word) grunge bands (e.g. Green River), though Mudhoney was not bad.

Okay, oldest grunge fan award goes to you I guess.

It's not surprising for me to encounter people in their 30s who like grunge, what I think is so strange is the teenage kids who crop up here on a regular basis and are fanatical grunge fans. That's really what I was getting at with the post you're quoting.
