Will Grunge Music Ever Make A Comeback?

[Colton Anderson]

yes

[Josiah Jones]

I hope not

[Matthew Martinez]

God no

[Noah Sullivan]

No

[Christian Ross]

The world tries to be too happy for this shit
If it does it won't be for a long time

[Caleb Baker]

grunge died with kurt

[Jason Bell]

...

[Jaxson Cook]

Kurt is the biggest hack in the history of rock music

[Mason White]

I don't see grunge truly coming back because the grunge scene was really three different musical movements soaking in each other. On the one end you had rough garage punk bands, on another you had brooding alt metal bands, and on another you had retro hard rock bands. There were a few bands with elements of all those, but most leaned in one direction. Now lots of punky noise rock bands have some element of grunge in them, as do lots of bland "post-grunge" hard rock bands that have more in common with hair metal than they ever did with the Seattle grunge scene. And then of course without grunge stoner metal never would've happened, plus the band that basically started sludge was from the grunge scene (Melvins). But now that these movements are no longer centered in the same city, they have no reason to associate with each other. Of course you still have some revivalists, though.

Just to add to this post (hit the word limit), here's a good revivalist: youtube.com/watch?v=J_wF7EUyMYU

here's a terrible fucking revivalist: youtube.com/watch?v=fAMz5VlaUic

[Christian Allen]

Fucking this
Grunge is the goddamn worst shit and I really wish Kurt didn't blow his brains out so he could be a washed up fuck today

[Evan Morris]

Nirvana was the only really interesting grunge act. I mean that sincerely. If you listen to Alice in chains, pearl jam and soundgarden--they all pretty much sound alike. None of those bands made an album like incesticide or in utero. There's no point in bringing back grunge either. If anything you'd get more shit bands like nickelback or seether.

[Eli Scott]

>he still thinks Kurt """""killed""""" himself

[Henry Jones]

Trap is the modern grunge music.

[Jordan Martin]

At Least We Had Post-Grunge... Although Its Definatly Not As Good, There Were Sone Plausable Bands Such As Foo Fighters...And Then Theres Nickelback...

[John Rodriguez]

...

[Anthony Baker]

I love the shit out of Superheaven but holy fuck they're in the wrong decade.

[Logan Rodriguez]

true

[Jaxon Campbell]

Actually, I think that it probably could, but certainly not on the scale that it once was. Twenty years have passed, a lot of teenagers and twenty year olds want to emulate that grunge sound, just as in the nineties bands like STP and Soundgarden used to emulate that 70s hard rock sound

[Luis Perez]

Probably not, but unfortunately. I think it was very much a time and place. Attempts to mimic it commercially resulted in a lot of "new rock" bullshit, with no soul whatsoever. I'm sure a handful of indie artists will come around eventually, to do a good-enough twist on it.

[John Ortiz]

>Alice In Chains
>Not good/interesting

Look, I like Soundgarden as well, but I can concede on that end. They weren't mind-blowing

However, Dirt, and Jar of Flies not being interesting releases and sounding like a ton of other shit at the time is wrong. Dirt had a unique intensity to it, and Jar of Flies's somber tone

[Asher Jenkins]

>the swan song of a genre
True. The question truly at hand is, what will take over rap as the mainstream genre in the 2020s?

[James Taylor]

AIC Are Seriously Underated Imo

[Hudson Bell]

Pearl Jam and Soundgarden sounded kinda similar, but AiC didn't really sound like them at all. Also there were way more than 4 grunge bands.

[Gabriel Anderson]

it's gonna be a cross between emocore/noise rock/jangle pop and third stream post-bop jazz

[Ayden Rogers]

Another Good Revivalist Band Are Pregnant Whale Pain (Shit Name For A Band I Know), Heres One Of There Songs youtu.be/6hE3SHvd3PU

[Jordan Parker]

upbeat art rock music like Everything Everything in response to a world war ravaging Europe and the Americas

[Julian Thompson]

Guys. Rap and R&B were the mainstream genres when grunge was at its peak. Nirvana just kinda came out of nowhere to murder them on the charts, and remained there for what seemed like forever. It was a freak occurrence.

it already did, its called 'vapourwave'

[Landon Collins]

I unironically want both

[Oliver Perez]

Obscure early 90s music videos are unequivocally the comfiest things in existence.

post-grunge happened, ya know
it's like a nightmare looking back, but it happened.
Grunge itself will not come back

[Benjamin Murphy]

The Melvins were not from the grunge scene. They were around for 10'years before that shit started, you fucking knowitall.

[Julian Sanders]

No, they weren't. Soundgarden, Skin Yard, Malfunkshun, and Green River had been around since '84 or 85, and the U-Men were around even before that. My problem isn't that I'm a "knowitall", it's that you don't know shit about grunge or the Melvins. Kys

[William Murphy]

Nice!

[Mason Jenkins]

it's barely a genre. there's certainly nothing left to do with it, hence the abomination of post-grunge

[Justin Cooper]

alice in chains were a cut above soundgarden and pearl jam, even if it was just heroin addict sabbath worship. there was nothing really interesting about nirvana, besides the kurt spectacle

[Luke Edwards]

no

[Robert Murphy]

guitar music and rock is dead

[Parker Collins]

>my childhood

[Dylan Reyes]

badmotofinger was best grunge album

[Nathan Cook]

that Pond song is great, wish I'd remembered to include them (and, on a very different note, The Jesus Lizard)

[Jaxon King]

Oh, c'mon. Nirvana was something else. Even as:

Nirvana was fucking psychotic and soulful, like nobody else:

>Wolf Alice
youtube.com/watch?v=z71df68qLp0

>Strange Wilds
youtube.com/watch?v=feEkz0qoNn4

[Julian Sullivan]

as much as I love grunge, I agree with this.

what made grunge great was it was raw and passionate and new that rose organically out of local music scenes. If you want the next wave of great rock bands, it has to be something raw and passionate and new that comes out of local scenes... if you try to revive grunge, it'll be forced and fake and basically be emo

[Nathan Fisher]

Dig and Hazel are really nice

[Cameron Ramirez]

enjoying Wolf Alice a lot, but wouldn't quite call it grunge...
Superheaven are great, of course.

Strange Wilds are the most legit grunge band I've seen in a long time, but despite that, this one I'm not fond of.

[William Hill]

This isn't really grunge, not nearly as abrasive enough. this is more like alt rock

[Jason Thomas]

Maybe folks in this thread are just happy.

[Sebastian Fisher]

to each their own. Subjective Concepts was one of my 2015 favorites.

[Benjamin Murphy]

...

[Gavin Miller]

He's right though.

[Jordan Torres]

yeah, Buzz Osborne even had a band with Kurt Cobain called Fecal Matter in the mid 80s

[Cooper Sullivan]

He proves you wrong and you ignore it

[Robert Lee]

Grunge will not comeback but a new form of rock and roll will arise, probably in the 20s. Record labels will eventually start looking into underground bands again once this whole era of garbage music is over.

[James Parker]

>Pearl Jam and Soundgarden sounded kinda similar
not really

[Hudson Williams]

Honey Bucket is one of my favorite songs. I can't believe I haven't seen the video before

[Mason Flores]

Wow I just went to a "grunge compilation" to get a refresher of what grunge besides Nirvana sounds like. I hope it doesn't come back because it fucking sucks

[Angel Hernandez]

Is this an album title?

[Lucas King]

Probably one of the best freestyle rappers eventually went on to create a grunge band on 2006.

Here's the only album they made as the vocalist, known mostly as Eyedea, passed away in 2010 at the age of 28.
