what sort of grunger would have a mullett anyway? Grunge blew away all the mullet and poodle hairedness.

I done it on my birthday and concluded that they are crap, they're grunge and everybody loved me for a day 
( I think they're great and not that grungy but the people of urban have spoken)http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=171432&highlight=pearl+jam

grunge was a silly made up genre anyway. I see very few common denomonators between nirvana, alice in chains, pearl jam and soundgarden. All very very different bands with almost entirely different influences.

soundgarden are genius! and anyone who doesn't think so clearly doesn't like music! so there 
nirvana are quality and alice in chains have more then a few great moments, pearl jam had one great album.
Maad season are shit though. Everytime pone of there songs comes up on my computer it gets deleted. They just don't capture me.

that's not really true in the states, is it? why is precisely why Kurt wrote In Bloom - which was in part a dig at the jocks who got into Nirvana. Even in this country, I knew a lot of GnR fans - hair farmers one and all - who liked Nirvana et al. "Grunge" didn't blow away anything, to be fair.

I distinctly remember a lot of new haircuts, Jovi and Leppard amongst others, and Steve Albini talking about being approached by LA glam metal bands (or rather their labels) to 'make them grunge'.Dubversion said:
The wonderful thing about grunge is that it is all about self-centred, whiney teenage nihilism. It's only people who were really bad who get all embarrassed about it and pretend that they can't empathise with it because they were waaaaaay to cool to ever be involved with that

Hey, Dean Yager!
After all it's just music, personal influence and relativity to whatever.
Iron Man on a Ukelele though was a tad disturbing.
Sway was on the dance stage - he came on to some bemused indie types and had them eating out of his hand in five minutes. Excellent show.
Mark Steel was 1,000,000 times funnier than Brand would have been.
Er.
Good weekend.
(I missed the fucking fall )

)Pearl Jam were hardly grunge anyway. Proper grunge was stuff like Mudhoney's "Superfuzz Bigmuff" wasn't it? A lot of the stuff marketed as 'grunge' was just heavy metal in hippy clothes...
That said, I did like the song "Black" so not entirely crap.

exactly. Mudhoney and Nirvana were great (Mudhoney were more garage anyway). Soundgarden ,Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam were just metal in plaid shirts

Soundgarden I actually liked, but the other two I agree, as well as the countless numbers of even worse bands that followed, like Candlebox etc
Still, on the other hand, I have the 'grunge' thing to thank for opening up the door to loads of much better music. If it wasn't for Nirvana, I doubt I would have heard bands like the Pixies or Sonic Youth.
