| Sister_t and I were just talking about this last nite. She thinks
grunge is ALREADY on its way out. I think it still has a good
18 months of longevity left in the genre.

| I think a lot of these bands have a cool image,cool band names and
cool song titles,but at the end of the day,the songs just ain`t there.
It just doesn`t bite somehow (for me anyway).

It's here to stay, but just won't be as popular. I mean, Pop metal has
faded but bands still get records out. Just aren't seelin' millions.

| "Grunge"...Stupid name fer it.IMHO. The way Some of these Dippsy_Doodle
"Fashion_Plates_Of-D_World are Tryin to cash in on it,I think it should
be called"Sponge". Cause they're All soakin it(And_The_Bucks)up..with
what is just a Fad. I like A_Lot of the music and it's Kind has
Always been here...But some Media Mo_Foo's decide that it is now"IN"
and we're Deluged with Tons_Of_Products to buy from.And if your lucky
E_Nuff to find one of these Kool products(And_Spend $$$$ out the
Ying_Yang)fer it..You'll be admired by all yer Friends_And_Peers.
As we all know..Fads come and go.But they've All_Ways..and will be...
There/Here.
Which reminds me..I gotta call up my Favorite girl to let her know

| I think someone in the industry finally noticed that yer good old
sloppy ROCK AND ROLL band has an audience out there. That's what I
consider most of what people call "grunge" to be. It's rock with an
edge to the music.
The funny thing to me is that bands that have a cool groove and some
intensity have *always* interested me, and I think they do to a lot of
other people too. They just weren't generally available through the
major labels until recently.
The bottom line is putting out music that people enjoy, and people are
tired of the same old sound. The 80s are over and bands that did well
then probably won't fly too hot now. The same thing will happen with
"grunge", the record companies will hire a buncha clone bands to
capitolize on the trend and people will get tired of hearing the same
sound all the time. Then something else will come along and take over.

| This was a great idea for a note... wtf happened?
Grunge is dead. It's more a fashion thing than a music
thing. I mean, it influenced Beverly Hills 90210, and
every other Fox show. I think the time I knew I hated
grunge was when I was retching through some Fox show,
the Heights maybe? And this guy had a gig as a gigolo
model-dude for some older, horny middle-aged photog,
and he couldn't relax. So, sensing that he was a rough-hewn
'man from the streets,' she demonstrated how hip she was
by helping him to chill, by swapping out his tux for a
baggy t-shirt, and asking him if he wanted some, quote
"Seattle Sound" music. And he said, amazedly, and probably
knowing he was gonna be playin tag-under-the-sheets with
her shortly thereafter, "sure! how did you know?"
Now you can't even buy ratty polyester clothing at the Salvation
Army, because all grungoids have watched MTV's House of Cindy
and saw the bit on how to buy the GRUNGE LOOK at second hand
stores. I shoulda kept all my clothes from high school, I'd
be freaking rich. I guess it's cool that bums are high fashion
now, at least.
Bottom line? "GRUNGE" sucks. It isn't music. It's fashion.
It's gonna die as fast as it took off, and, unfortunately, some of
the good bands associated with it are gonna crash and burn
along with it. If it ain't cool, it's dead. And if Brandon
Walsh is wearing GRUNGE clothes, it ain't cool.
Mudhoney says it best in Overblown.

dressed myself.I feel comfortable that way.

YES!!!!!! I'm completely nauseated by them!!!
But I've always liked the 'grunge' look way before it was called
'grunge'.....actually it was the 'skaters'/'posers'/'new
wave'/'punkers' that started that look.

I can't even grow hair there!If I want facial hair I have to comb

voila.......instant beard! 8)

| 921.29 | | SUBURB::COOKS | I`m so bored with the U.S.A | Wed Apr 21 1993 11:30 | 12 |
| I reckon it`s just a reaction.
It`s like in the early 70`s you had long hair/hippy dippy type crap,
then you had punk in the mid(ish) to late 70`s which was all,er,wild
and outrageous,then people got bored of that,and you got the smartly
dressed,i`ve got loads of money type conformist boredom of the 80`s,
and now it`s gone back to a cross between the long hair/hippy dippy
i want to save the planet crap and the i`m a sort of outrageous punk
type thing. Why people just can`t be themselves,i`ll never know.
Hope this makes sense.

| 921.30 | Who the hell came up with the label "GRUNGE"? | LUNER::BIRD | | Tue Sep 03 1996 17:06 | 21 |
|
First of all this labeling of music really s*cks. The image that
seems to go along with the "Grunge" stereotype is a little distorted.
Hell, I was wearing flannel shirts and combat boots before I even heard
a Seattle based band. Anyway, "grunge" is just plain old rock and roll.
No matter how you look at it. I'm a musician and I have noticed alot of
similar song structures and beats. The things I have noticed that are
different are the singers. Grunge singers tend to have more of a range
then the singers way back, also the drummers tend to add flair to thier
stylish drum beats. I have also noticed that these "grunge" bands are
evolving with the times. I personally think that Grunge is a feeling,
not a look or sound, but a feeling. It is the feelings we have as a
teenager or young adult trying to cope with the new problems we all
have as we grow up. I think that this definition can also be put on
rock and roll. For this reason I think that the label "Grunge" will die
but the feeling will always be there.
