At my school I'm like the only one who listens to grunge, and sometimes my friends try to get me pissed by saying grunge is dead. So I Just want to know people's opinion.

Welcome to the forum.

I really don't pay much attention to grunge, so I don't have an opinion.

It's not dead if you can carry it on.

What is grunge anyway? They lump bands like Nirvana, Mudhoney and Alice In Chains in this genre but all of those bands sound completely different. The mainstream music industry always has to have a category to lump bands together as having the same sound. Some bands defy genres. For instance, what do you call Primus? Hmmm....
Anyway, back on the subject...Nothing is dead if people still care about it.

I have found that the music industry has gone overboard with genre's.
My cousin had a band back in the late 60's that was a rock band. They have now been classified as "Garage Punk" band. Garage Punk? Where do they come up with these names?

Grunge killed Glam/Hair Metal, Rap-Metal killed Grunge, then Alice In Chains rip-offs killed Rap-Metal, metal looking rock bands killed Alice In Chains Metal, now punk influenced rock bands killed metal looking rock bands. Whenever anything gets killed, it goes underground. Grunge bands still exist and then some just aren't called or considered grunge anymore, like Pearl Jam....

To me Grunge was more of a lifestyle then a form of music. It was the way Seattle youth looked at the time. They just happened to listen to those local bands. So yeah, grunge is still alive because I still see that look here in the Seattle area.

Music as a whole is constantly changing and evolving, going in every direction (despite where the "industry" tries to take it or keep it). Grunge isn't dead, you just haven't found the bands that are making their way back to the core sound of it.

I think it has made a lasting impact on music, like the 60's, and 70's each generation learns, and takes little bit from one another.

I feel like in the 00's music is at a low point, there has not been that one great band, or style that the world has latched on to like grunge in the 90's. You have so many different styles that are currently try, you have the retro, garage style, the semi glam punk, emo (thank god this didn't catch on like grunge), or you wannabe hippy singer song writer style. Don't get me wrong each have their good points, and I listen, and buy just as much as the next person. But there we still don't have a style that has set the world on fire and like grunge did 90's.

I think I read once that a lot of what was associated with 'grunge culture' was a fabrication by a journalist. He made up a lot of the slang and stuff and the country bought it.

At any rate, not so many current grunge bands right now. At least none that are getting a lot of attention. But old grunge still gets lots of play on the rock stations. Rock in general isn't as popular among the youth as it used to be, though. Very-little-to-no rock on top 40 stations right now. In the late 90's rock bands dominated the top 40 charts.

I consider Audioslave to be somewhat "grungy". Anyone agree?
