what's the philosophy of Grunge music?

Question

please tell me all about it

Answer 1

Simple. No band is great and no one is special. Kurt would've told you that it didn't have to be him, Dave and Krist on stage, it could just as easily have been you and the kids who bash around old Misfits songs in your garage.

Grunge was honest (at least in the beginning). It was about finding your own sound, style and place. In the days before every smack addict in Seattle had a record deal it was about being outside the commercial fringe. It was about being young, broke, pissed off and not being able to do much about it besides bang out a few power chords in drop D.

I guess if you have to ask you are probably too young (or too old) to completely appreciate it. It was a great ride. It's too bad that all that's left of it today is whatever solo project Chris Cornell will be working post Audioslave.

Answer 2

Grunge came from the early 1990's and it was a answer to the hair bands at the time in rock music. Way too many guys wearing make up and fancy clothes. Grunge wanted to strip it down to the bare essentials of the music not the image. However, this was actually started back in the 1970's by the punk rock movement led by The Sex Pistols and The Clash.

Answer 3

Grunge, like almost all labels of modern rock n roll, was a label fabricated by radio stations and the MTV/music industry.

It described music stripped down to its bare sound and devoid of flashy stage antics and costuming. The bands that were labeled grundge, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Sound Garden, Nirvana, Alice in Chains etc. were reacting to the overly produced glam rock from the late 80's and seeking out something that personified their feeelings and generational angst better than Poison or Bon Jovi.

Much like Punk being a late 70's early 80's reaction to the arena rock, glam rock and disco of the 70s, is what the musicians labeled 'grundge' were reacting to.

Answer 4

Grunge having philosophy is like Fall Out Boy being able to PLAY their instruments...

Answer 5

A subgenre of the alternative music scene, emerging from Seattle. Musical characteristics are quite similar to hard-core. It was a fusion of punk and metal. At the heart of grunge is musical dissonance. Artists wanted to have artistic control over their music instead of it being relegated to a major recording company. Being sold out.

Answer 6

Many grunge musicians and fans displayed a general disenchantment with the state of society and discomfort with social prejudices. Also, many grunge musicians began their careers as teenagers or young adults, when feelings of angst are common. Often identified as 'slackers',grunge targeted themes such as social alienation, apathy, entrapment and a desire for freedom.

Answer 7

Sure I respect a lot of Bands I am not a fan of. I really cannot get into In Flames, Within Temptation, Opeth or many others..... but will not deny their talent and musicality. But since music is so subjective..it just happens that theirs doesn't really do anything for me. Favorite AIC song- Rooster.

Answer 8

If you have to ask you will never really understand,

looking at the world with no rose colored glasses, seeing the under side of society, knowing that no matter what, so as we come into this world alone, so shall we leave it alone, even if we are surrounded by people, we are still alone.

Answer 9

Abuse drugs, wear flannel or cardigan sweaters, and never wash your hair.

Answer 10

I'm guessing to vent anger?
