I have always asserted that there is no such thing as grunge. that "grunge" was a tag, a label used by those outside the musical underground to describe, very poorly, the sound of certain bands (mudhoney, tad, melvins early soundgarden etc.) the "grunge" look is tyhe same look that american punks wore for decades.
it's fucking rock n roll man.
even the definitive "grunge" act Mudhoney was essentially overdriven creedence mixed with stooges.
Like thurston says in that article, it was just metal kids without the leather.
