The 1990s music scene was a time where newer generations of music were originating from the older ones from the past 30 years and ones of those genres was Grunge. The grunge movement first originated back to the 1980s all the way into the mid 90s but really goes back to the 1970s for its influence from punk and heavy metal. Punk and heavy metal was a heavy influence on grunge and first originated in what is considered the birth place of grunge music Seattle,
Washington plus it formed around the time where glam metal was reaching its prime and by the early 90s the grunge movement was known everywhere in America and then worldwide. The grunge movement goes back to the mid 80s where some of the first bands formed out of Seattle with bands like Mother Love Bone and the Melvins and then came bigger bands like Pearl Jam, Sound Garden, Alice in Chains and Nirvana who boosted the genres success of modern rock music into the 21st century, Grunge has gone on to influence the likes of modern day bands such as Queens of the Stone Age, Seether, Theory of a Dead man and many more.
The image and fashion of the grunge movement was very different to other music fashions like thrash and glam metal because unlike other types of fashion in music it was seen as a plain simple kind of fashion, a very down to earth type look it included clothes such as checked lumberjack shirts which represented its down to earth look, unlike glam metal which was all the makeup, big hair and platform shoes the grunge image was just plain and simple and didn’t want to look too fancy.
Nirvana were one of the biggest grunge around from their debut in 1987 until 1994 the band started out with Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Aaron Burckhard (they went through many but he was the first) in 1987 who started to get popular around the Aberdeen music scene and in 1989 they released their debut album ‘Bleach’ which sold over £35,000 copies worldwide until it was topped by their second album ‘Nevermind’ which was their biggest album ever made and included the song ‘Smells like teen spirit’ which (in my opinion) was the biggest song they wrote because it was a huge hit when the album debuted and long after the band split up it is considered one of the greatest rock song ever wrote. Other big grunge bands included Pearl Jam, Sound garden and Alice in chains who like Nirvana got just as big and just as popular and really earned success the same way other bands had done. The grunge movement had influences of metal and punk but everything about it was different. Unlike glam metal grunge never had a fancy fashion sense; it never had any great visual or special effects for gigs it was all just plain and simple gigs and image but they had their own thing and other genres had there’s no I don’t think there was any commotion.
