grunge
/ɡrʌndʒ//ɡrʌndʒ/The term "grunge" originated in the early 1980s among a group of musicians and fans in Seattle, Washington. Initially, it described a subgenre of punk rock characterized by its heavy, distorted guitar sound and angst-filled lyrics. The name "grunge" was inspired by the literal meaning of the word, referring to dirt, filth, and disorder - a nod to the DIY ethos and rejection of mainstream culture that defined the movement. Grunge music gained popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s with bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden leading the charge. The genre's influence extended beyond music, shaping fashion, art, and a cultural attitude that emphasized authenticity and rebellion. Despite its ephemeral nature, the term "grunge" remains synonymous with the music and spirit of that era, continuing to influence rock music to this day.
