Grunge is a subgenre of alternative pop which emerged during the mid-1980's in Seattle (Washington, United States). It's inspired by hardcore punk, heavy metal and indie rock, and became commercially successful in the beginning of the nineties. However, many bands were uncomfortable with this popularity and this type of music faded at the beginning of last decade; nevertheless their influence continues to impact modern rock music.
The fans of this style of music wear stripped T-shirts (red and black, green and black…) and sometimes they wear jeans, Scottish shirts and dark Converse shoes. The most representative groups of this style are Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth and Soundgarden.
The people who belong to Grunge bands usually rebel against the consumerist society we're living in, and the fact that we are influenced by what television says. Finally, we have to mention that these groups are not violent.
