As I have understood it, Grunge became a sub-culture. And I also think it did so unintentionally, just merely by choosing not to go with any kind of culture that was around at that time.
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... |

You mean are there bands that really want to be Metal bands but are too ashamed to do so, so they chuck in a few blues bars and cut their hair really short? I hope not. It was bad enough first time around.
Yes I am looking at you Soundgarden who admit to disliking metal but are quite happy to reform and perform at Metal festivals. The top hats. I blame the media though, they love to tag any bands that sound quite similar and create a new genre.

Lol, there's no such thing as grunge lifestyle.
The only reason people think that is because a lot of grunge bands were/are hardcore punk bands, like Nirvana. So naturally, a lot of their fans were wearing stuff that thrashers wear. Punk/thrasher culture is still very much alive. |
