Grunge Rock?

Question

Im doing a report on grunge rock what kind of clothes do they wear their clothes and pretty much how do they act in plubic

Answer 1

You ask a very broad and confusing question, but here is my best answer. Grunge wasn't just a genre of music as many dismiss it as, it was a movement. Grunge music was rooted in loud cathartic guitars and self-loathing lyrics, but this was simply the soundtrack to the lives of the alienated, and rebellious in the early 90s. Clothing was a central issue for those who were part of this, but it cannot be stereotyped into 'they wore ratty clothes with holes in 'em'. Essentially they were saying who gives a flip how I look respect my art. Kurt Cobain was one Grunge icon, he would dress in everything from flannel, and holy jeans, to a hospital gown. He also frequently dyed his hair with koolaid. Many of the t-shirts that Kurt, Layne Staley and other grunge legends wore were homeade, generally promoting a favorite indie band, or an independent spirit. The public behavior of most tends to range from the lonely outsider on the fringes of society, to the junkie socialite, just like most people, it is dependent on personality of the various people involved. I hope this helps.

Every day we wore jeans, t-shirt, and a flannel long sleeved shirt unbuttoned. Supplemented by optional broken-in and usually dirty baseball hat, preferably turned backwards. Other variations: long sleeved tee shirt under tee shirt.

Layering was a big part of grunge. The musical scene was Seattle. It is cold and rained there a lot of the time. That was just how people dressed there. Everyone else picked up on it as a fashion trend. Even though I wear a suit to work, I dress on my days of with a variation of that style still. Yes, my hat is backwards right now.

Most people who listened to grunge didn't act a stereotypical way. Grunge was the music of the people in the early to mid nineties. Everyone was into the scene.

I think we all came out of that era with a very developed appreciation for good music. Manufactured pop was not acceptable. Rap, rock, and even dance music all matured because of grunge. All three genres turned the corner at the same time.

There were no boy bands or pop princesses during the reign of grunge. Across the history of popular music, there has always been teen idols, but not during grunge. The music was powerful and so was the overall movement.

With clothing from thrift stores mainly, unless you were a poser with rich parents and you bought new clothes and tried to make them look old, though these days that seems to be exactly what a lot of name brands are selling. You wore what was comfortable, and cheap enough to leave you money for cigarettes. However, common clothing items included flannels, baggy jeans, chains on your wallets, and/or a t-shirt with a long sleeve shirt under it. Hair was often unkept, especially for the guys.
As for acting in public, that really varied from group to group. You mainly hung out with other "grunge" like people, but you're group may have been mild-mannered while another group was often out seeing what petty crimes they could get away with.
Besides the bands people have listed (add Sonic Youth and Girls Against Boys to that list), check out some of the movies made back then that tried to capture the feeling of the day like Kids or Singles.

Answer 4

grunge was not a fashion statement.. it was a style of music.. to separate itself from the hairbands and plastic pop rocks that were all over the music scene in the late 80's early 90's.. but if you need an example.. use anything about Nirvana.. Kurt Cobain.. Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam.. all the were very popular in the beginning of the grunge movement.. I dont think they acted all the same in public.. so that part of your question is nonsense..

Answer 5

Oh I miss those days! I wore oversized army pants and had so many plaid flannel shirts. Band t-shirts. Baggy cut off army pants about knee length with those waffle long john things. Wool lumberjack socks. And you HAD to have a pair of Doc Martens. The 14 hole ones were the best. Just look at old pictures of Pearl Jam and Sound Garden. And who could forget Kurt Cobain. Look to him, he was our GOD!!!!!

Answer 6

That's a pretty stereotypical question. I don't think that there's a code out there that is supposed to be followed.

Answer 7
