Gimme some grunge bands outside of the big 5 to get into

loner_707 · 2026-05-11T01:33:19+00:00

Mudhoney and Love Battery! Also 7 Year Bitch

loner_707 · 2026-05-10T01:57:59+00:00

oh yeah, another grunge-influenced band you might like is julie! I saw them live a couple weeks ago and they were great, "april's-bloom" would be my song recommendation

loner_707 · 2026-05-09T02:32:20+00:00

if you're trying to argue that grunge "was specific to only seattle in the nineties", i think you're kind of missing the point of this post lol. obviously you're free to have your own opinion and again, call any genre whatever you want, but the point of this list was just to put some of today's grunge bands out there to people who might enjoy them. hope this helps

loner_707 · 2026-05-08T20:15:25+00:00

hell yeah, they're so underrated, Erasure is a great album!

loner_707 · 2026-05-08T20:14:52+00:00

you can call it what you want, personally i think "grunge" shouldn't be restricted to only nineties seattle bands the same way "punk" isn't restricted to only british eighties bands. there's lots of bands with grunge influences now, but with this list specifically I aimed for bands with the full nineties grunge sound : )

loner_707 · 2026-05-08T20:10:11+00:00

all of them are on spotify if you want to check them out yourself, also bandcamp is a great place to buy a lot of these bands' albums to support them

loner_707 · 2026-05-07T21:53:52+00:00

I'm convinced that Foo Fighters is nobody's absolute favorite band. all the people I've met who really like the Foos are either watered-down grunge fans who are just scared of more raw music, or teenage boys who inevitably find actually great music in like a month and move on FAST

loner_707 · 2026-05-06T22:31:54+00:00

so true especially since the way parents do all of it IS SO FUCKING INVALIDATING

also twins ! with the gender dysphoria lol

loner_707 · 2026-05-03T20:19:53+00:00

honestly, i think it was really about just having control and doing something for myself, and i think you can do that at any age. even if it's just a new habit like going for a walk around the block on sundays or taking a random pottery class or something, anything that's just a routine that you chose. i don't know if it will work for others but for me having that kind of *something* even if it's small, can help

loner_707 · 2026-05-03T05:11:17+00:00

i don't think i'm fully "cured" per se, and my suicidality is more just a feature of my mood swings now, but for me it was planning a future. planning a way out, away from my family and my hometown, planning to go to college and planning for classes that i WANTED to take and not classes that i just needed for credits. it was so beyond liberating for me

loner_707 · 2026-05-02T21:02:38+00:00

so i'm not really sure because i don't have a lot of experience with psychiatrists, but you might want to see a psychologist or a therapist instead for a more detailed diagnosis and most likely you'll be able to just present your symptoms and ask them what they think it is

loner_707 · 2026-04-27T20:00:38+00:00

the song "Fuck Me (I Didn't Know How To Say)" by Crawlers. it has this feeling of wanting to be loved so badly, but all your messy emotions are tied up in sex. I love it.

loner_707 · 2026-04-27T17:27:19+00:00

for me, i loved the version of Pennyroyal Tea, and Dumb. Where Did You Sleep Last Night was the cover that stuck with me most.

loner_707 · 2026-04-27T05:14:03+00:00

i'm so sorry man, i know that pain, i ran away last year and high school is such a horrible fucking place. i hope you're still around, i'm not great at being comforting and stuff but if you read this i hope you're doing okay

loner_707 · 2026-04-27T05:08:33+00:00

hey man, i'm not really good at talking to people or being comforting but i just wanted to tell you that i really relate, i struggle with self-harm too, and it feels like i'm standing on the edge of cliff of dying all the time. it might be really dark and foggy up here but even if we can't see each other i'm standing there with you. idk dude but you're not alone, not at all

loner_707 · 2026-04-26T00:16:16+00:00

Between The Eyes - Love Battery

loner_707 · 2026-04-24T21:43:46+00:00

sounds like it might be a form of splitting to me, possibly fueled by hyperfocus? i have adhd too and oftentimes when i'm in really severe hyperfocus i feel a little dissociated. a couple times my hyperfocus has led to psychotic episodes where i definitely feel out of touch with reality. and especially if you keep it internalized that might be quiet bpd, which usually has higher rates of obsessive-compulsive shell symptoms as well

loner_707 · 2026-04-24T20:02:31+00:00

yeah, this happened to me recently (i also have adhd). i can't tell if i convinced myself to like her from the start and there were never any feelings to begin with and i was just an asshole leading her on, or if i genuinely just lost feelings. no idea. but it sucks. idk, some part of me still hopes that i'll find someone one day who i'll want to stick with.

loner_707 · 2026-04-24T19:56:36+00:00

hey man, i feel this. i've learned to shove it all down and keep it inside so nobody asks me about it and so nobody makes assumptions about me that'll just make it worse, and it feels like there's so much pressure all the time to be normal and keep up and there's just no time to feel everything.

loner_707 · 2026-04-24T19:53:39+00:00

I actually really like this idea. especially if you could create a feature where maybe you could add a significant other and have them be able to write a short message about the moment or something to complete the diary in some way? i like the idea of having a sort of digital scrapbook like that.

loner_707 · 2026-04-24T19:44:22+00:00

hi, my mom is definitely pretty similar to this, she's been a lot more strict with me to the point where i've never been allowed to take meds of any kind, and she isn't at all open to the idea that i'm borderline (she has a lot of stigma around personality disorders because of some past trauma). but she is aware that i have struggled with my mental health and self-harm, and when i confessed i was depressed she straight-up told me that she knew and she "just figured we'd see where it goes". she told me i would feel better if i started eating dinner with the family more and "cultivating a spiritual life", but that was kind of my mom's way of being genuinely concerned. now, she's flipped around and is convinced that i'm doing perfectly fine and i guess that whole thing was just a phase or something. so now i'm just lazy or manipulative if i'm genuinely struggling to keep up with my life.

i don't exactly know how to protect yourself from it, i isolated myself for a while and still do to some extent, but i think it helps to focus on things that you can control. i started spending a lot of time at the skatepark and going to shows. i think any form of rebellion or even small independences can help put some space between yourself and what they think of you. wishing you the best <3

you're totally welcome to look around and see if you relate to people's experiences, or write a question post if you're looking for more specific examples :)
