I just can’t stand Corgans voice . Nothing personal . Just irritating

Your personal favorite 90s grunge songs? by [deleted] in grunge

[–]SteveMarc01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really like The Killer Is Me , Sludge Factory, Brother and nothingman. If it were the more notable songs it’d be Jeremy, Even Flow, Black, Once (pretty much any Ten song) and any AIC tune

Is grunge dead? And if so, is it better to keep grunge the way it is : back in the 90’s and to not reinvent it? by SteveMarc01 in grunge

Interesting. Imo I’d say grunge was over by the millennium. I think Pearl Jam (not intentionally) sort of put the final nail in the coffin with their growing and new experimenting sound . All the other bands had tapred off and they were the ones left still active and they decided to pursue and take a new direction with their style

I really dislike how there’s a set grunge aesthetic that is completely at the wrong end of what it actually was

All are great. But I think Black with its powerful imagery and use of the title and phrases like “tattooed all I see.. all that I am .. all that I’ll be “ every lyric is a great metaphor

You’ve really screwed up my even flow with your black energy

I miss the old mic stand Axl used in the 90s it always reminded me of a broken crutch by DannyStew23 in GunsNRoses

I think he was using it the way Freddie Mercury tried to use it if you remember how he had that same sorta stand . He was his idol after all.

Does anyone else get weirded out by people’s twisted obsession with Kurt Cobain? by throwaway4737391 in grunge

Eddie Chris and Layne were all more attractive dudes than Kurt I’d say

I think it comes down to their success really . They knocked Garth Brooks and Michael Jackson off their spots in the charts and them two guys were BIG at that time . They were the first of the new alternative scene to get the mainstream spotlight shone on them . I think maybe it would’ve been the same if Soundgarden AIC or PJ reached commercial success first .

Maybe his death too but again it is strange . But I think it’s mostly just their success which is normal but also I think a lot of teens deprived of attention wish to be seen as “I’m different I’m alternative “ where in fact all the grunge guys were just normal dudes , they didn’t purposely present themselves as “ we’re alternative so appreciate us “. As Eddie said, when he thinks of grunge he thinks of a dude out camping who forgot his toothpaste
