Well I used to be your average teeny bopper 5 years ago when I was 13 who used to own all those daggy backstreet boys crap, but then I heard my cousin play Nirvana's "Polly" it was the best I had heard (at the time).
Grunge would be a lifestyle for me. It's kinda laidback but goes up to edge when it needs to be. Anyone who says grunge is so 90's can go jump, it's the best stuff ever.
I just wish there were more grunge acts today.
My family hear my Nirvana collection and just think "are you depressed" ?, or they come up with the same lame thing about a million other people say "why are you listening to junkies for?" They don't understand that because of the way they dress and express themselves through lyrics (which at times can get a bit racy e.g "Polly"), doesn't mean they fit that stereotype. I'm the only one in my fam that likes grunge, rock, punk and whatever alternative there is, which makes me the extreme black sheep in my wog family, including teh extended fam as well.
You know what. Grunge can be whatever you want it to be and that's the great thing about it. You can listen to it whne you're feeling like shit, when somethinf great's just happened or listen ot it just to piss off those nosy neighbours who play Britney non stop.
Dude, Nirvana changed a hell of alot. Music videos today wouldn't get that extreme if it weren't thanks to those guys. They were the icons for their generation so people did what they did, so their music made a huge impact on them. Well, it has on me even though I wasn't part of their generation which goes to show that grunge can affect anyone from any time period. In 20 or 30 years time kids will be learning about Kurt just like they do about Elvis in history. grunge has shaped the music scene If people like it or not.
I hope this helps. What's this for anyway? Someone should start a grunge thread ! Is it a cat or a monkey that's headbanging there?
