This is probably the best description and definition of grunge music. While punk, blues, hard rock and metal tend to be much more well-defined, grunge is a bit of a mash-up. It was more a social movement / philosophy towards punk, rock and metal fusion. Soundgarden were a heavier grunge band that bordered on metal at times (like "Flower" and "Jesus Christ Pose" are fairly heavy). Pearl Jam were really an alt rock band, stylistically speaking. Nirvana were more closely related to Sonic Youth and The Pixies than any of their more prominent grunge contemporaries. So, defining grunge from a purely musical perspective doesn't quite work. But if you define grunge as punk / hard rock / alt rock / metal fusion with dark, cynical, contradictory lyrics and a focus on sounding raw (avoiding slick production and often being anti-reverb and similar effects), it starts to make sense. If you hung out with your friends wearing cheap clothing, getting wasted and caring about social issues (but not doing much about it because you were more a nihilist than an activist), then you were probably grunge. If you recorded simple rock music with shitty recording equipment, you were probably grunge. It makes a lot more sense now because I listen to all the grunge bands and hear so much variety that they don't really sound like a single musical genre. And that's because they never were. They were a single musical movement.

Yeah I generally don't think of the Cranberries or the Smashing Pumpkins as grunge, it's alt rock that's sort of in the same vein, but not what I usually think of when the topic of grunge comes up

I prefer grunge than hair metal. Grunge is more relatable and serious.

Hey, are there any artists that combine grunge with trap? Like post-punk and Lil Peep but more grunge oriented?

I was 16 when Grunge exploded. It was magical. This music was for us Gen X kids who had Baby boomer parents who only cared about was work. We are angry teens. I would roam the streets in anger and Vandalize cars and buildings while listening to these grunge bands. The best times of my life were in HS. I hated hair bands before grunge. I will never forget one important day for me. I was at a HS party and Nirvana smells like teen Spirit played. The whole room became quiet. Everyone was bobbing their heads and at the end of the song. One guy jumps up and yells” What the fuck was that?

@@ftrsaliyf-zd4wk I disagree. Us younger Gen X were 15- 18 in the early 90s. We were the coming of age teens when Grunge exploded. 80s Gen X were already out of HS when it happened. We were the spotlight.
