Grunge originated in Seattle in the early 1990s as an evolution of punk rock. It was characterized by distorted vocals, dirty aesthetics, and lyrics expressing contempt for society and mainstream culture. Popular grunge bands included Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Screaming Trees. The style was typified by ripped jeans, tank tops, and long or short, messy hair. After the death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who brought grunge into the mainstream, the genre receded somewhat back underground, though it continues to influence rock music.

CARACTHERISTICS The grunge rebel against this consumerist society that is guided by what the TV tells them to do, listen, be, think, read and view. Grunge was all chaos that would drive them crazy politicians. Many of its lyrics dealt with anguish, hopelessness, lack of interest in the system; there are letters of love, friendship, hatred and senseless life, always seeking to reach Nirvana. Although many were (or are) depressants, were also crazy and enjoyed the beer and joints.
