Grunge music

Grunge music is a genre that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s in Seattle, blending elements of punk rock and heavy metal. It is characterized by its gritty, raw sound, often featuring distorted guitars, muffled or emotive vocals, and themes of disillusionment and angst. Grunge combines loud, aggressive riffs with introspective lyrics, capturing a sense of rebellion and emotional depth. Notable bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden popularized the style, making it a defining musical movement of the early '90s that resonated with youth seeking authenticity and raw expression.
