Is it a good thing or a bad thing to be labeled this? ( not okay'ing sterotypes w/ this though) I was just wondering what 'certain style' went along with the title

Oops...put it in the wrong catagory I believe. Sorry xP

Thank you all! I finally understand why by ex- best friend used to call me that when we were friends...she's emo/scene as she calls herself

Answer 1

"Grunge" as a style is usually associated with a certain type of music that was popular in the 80s and 90s.

Here is a link to the Wikipedia entry for Grunge:

As far as the Grunge style, see this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990s_fashion#Grunge_era

which says:

"The most important event in 1990s fashion was the rise of the grunge style into the mainstream in 1992. Grunge fashion was influenced by grunge music, which achieved mainstream popularity in 1992. The grunge style resulted in a decline in bright colours, and was dominated by plaid flannel shirts, stonewashed blue jeans, and dark colours like maroon, forest green, indigo, and brown. White and black were also popular colours in grunge style.

Grunge fashion popularized Doc Martens style shoes and boots, and high-top sneakers in red, indigo, forest green, and black (such as Chuck Taylor All-Stars). It emphasized long, straight hair, which most teen and pre-teen girls already had, and which a few teen and pre-teen boys adopted. Grunge fashion was a unisex phenomenon. Although the grunge look was considered "anti-fashion", the fashion industry made it a distinct fashion style by selling plaid items like hooded sweatshirts, sweatshirt vests, long sleeved t-shirts and shorts. Grunge fashion remained popular through 1994."

I enjoyed the Grunge years and Grunge style myself, so I would not call it a "bad thing," but everyone's tastes differ.

Answer 2

Its not bad, but many conservative people wouldn't like it because they live in a box. I guess if you were to stereo type it,which is a bad thing, it would probably be discribed as rock and roll and kind of dirty looking like you just throw on a dirty t-shirt and some very old ripped jeans. Basically its like you don't care about what you wear. People like what they like and it should be respected.

Answer 3

I think of Kurt Cobain
