| kthrn - 11:27 am (24.90.12.113) old news duder I haven't seen any top 40 acts playing neo-grunge yet, and paying attention to that stuff is my job. It's actually still tough to find new bands self-identifying as grunge. |
| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 7:29 am |
| It's felt imminent for at least two years, though. |
| mustachedeath - 6/9/09, 7:30 am |
| hasn't it already happened and sort of ended? |
| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 7:31 am |
| When and where? If it did, it ws before 2005. |
| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 7:36 am |
| seriously, if this happened and somehow I missed it, I should know for professional reasons. List at least 5 major label (or manor indie label) bands that self-idientify as "Grunge" and were formed in the last 5 years. |
| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 7:36 am |
| *minor |

| TEX - 6/9/09, 7:37 am |
| another 5-10 years. The kids who were born 1990-95 will make the revival happen in their mid -late 20s and early 30's in a wave of ironic nostalgia as they near "adulthood". Of course, the grunge revival will have stiff competition from the nu-metal revival. |

| I think it's kids born between '83 and '86 who are goign to do it, myself. |
| meaghan - 6/9/09, 7:40 am |
| yeah as far as i'm concerned this is already well under way |
| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 7:42 am |
| As long as it's better than early 80s rockabilly. |
| TEX - 6/9/09, 7:42 am |
| Really, 83 -86? I don't even consider "grunge" being on the general public radar until 88-89, when the first Sub Pop bands started getting popular. |

I don't even consider "grunge" being on the general public radar until 88-89, when the first Sub Pop bands started getting popular.</i> Right, when those kids werre just getting old enough to start picking up bits and pieces of what filtered into the popular culture. Meaghan, I think we're using "revival" differently. I've been seeing musicians "rediscover" early Grunge stuff off and on for the last 10 years, but I haven't seen any major flood of NEW "grunge" into the mainstream, although the last two years have definitely seen it heating up a bit. |

| <i.mikee - 11:45 am (66.205.90.107) I don't understand how waff and wbcn will be able to fit more grunge into their already grunge-filled playlist.</i> They'll drop all of the first generation stuff, which will move to late nights on Oldies 103, and their playlists will cnsist almost entirely of grunge bands formed since 2006. |
| meaghan - 6/9/09, 7:48 am |
| yeah i see what you're saying, it's certainly not THERE yet, but it's defintiely started |
| TEX - 6/9/09, 7:48 am |
| And didn't 'grunge' really hit the mass market in the early to mid 90s, after 'the year punk
broke'? Then came the first wave of awful horrible watered down heavy rock bands like Alice in Chains. 1994-95 I would say was the peak of this wave. Some wildly shitty music being made at the time in the name of "grunge" - pretty much 100% across the board, complete and utter shit. |
| mustachedeath - 6/9/09, 7:48 am |

Just because the Beatles are on the radio doesn't mean Oasis is cool right now, you know? |
| Drana - 6/9/09, 7:58 am |
| Considering all the young hipsters are dressing "grunge-inspired" nowadays (and almost all the vintage clothing I look at on Ebay is tagged with "grunge"), I'd say this is most definitely imminent if not happening already. |
| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 7:59 am |

| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 8:13 am |
| I used have a two poage spread from the Boston Globe Parade Magazine ca. 93 about flannels and how everyone from grandma to the baby looks good in them. It was amazing. Big, two page photo of an upper-middle class suburban family all wearing untucked flannels, with the token GTOTALLY GRUNGIFIED teenager with whiteboy dreadlocks biut a disarming good-b oy smile standing next to his mom. I really wish I still had it, it was a fixture on my betroom walls until I was like 19 or 20, even though I was pretty much fed up with grunge by 9th grade. |
| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 8:15 am |
| Maybe the next two years will see a flood of decent, cheap acid onto the black market like the 90s (according to people I knew who were taking it back then; I was basically edge for most of the 90s, but it seemed like everyone with questionable fashion sense was getting cheap, good acid without even trying for the whole damn decade). |
| JayCal - 6/9/09, 8:18 am |
| i was hoping we'd see an influx/revival of liberal/positive/creative/novel bands, kinda like the early 90s, but so far that doesn't really seem to be happening |
| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 8:20 am |
| Actually, the early 90s was more like a big wave of "me too" bands riding on the coattails of the interesting, creative bands of the mid to late 80s. |
| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 8:21 am |
| The number of good/interesting bands is probably pretty constant, it's just a matter of access. |
| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 8:23 am |
| I could definitely see some kind of new/cheaper/more varied and localized festival scene exploding in the next 5 years because of the economy (less money and fewer jobs = more people making more music; with incomes dropping, people might be more willing to spend $40 for a couple days of shows out in the suburbs than $8 for one show in a bar down the street) |
| JayCal - 6/9/09, 8:25 am |
| good point, yeah. i guess i was just thinking that the interesting/creative bands would be pushed into the limelight a bit more, as part of some overall sort of cultural shift towards liberalism/creativity/arts. wishful thinking. |
| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 8:25 am |

Even though musically, it was more indie+thrash than indie+punk, even though nobody ever seems to talk about that (except one period Cobain thing I read where he was complaining about Nirvana being lumped in with all of the "grunge" bands like pearl jam and alice in chains, who were the same bandwagoneers that had been in Guns N Roses soundalike hair bands a year or two earlier). |

Viewing irony in life and expressing that in your lyrics doesn't mean that your music is ironic, i.e., tongue-in-cheek, being half-serious half-not, etc. IMO. What's the argument for Nirvana not being the main thrust of grunge? Please note I considered Stone Temple Pilots and their ilk utterly worthless major-label ripoffs. I agree it's ridiculous we ever had to start using the word "grunge" seriously. |

| I agree it's ridiculous we ever had to start using the word "grunge" seriously. We did? What's the argument for Nirvana not being the main thrust of grunge? As a pop culture phenomenon, there isn't one, but if you listen to their music it's quite a bit different from, say, Alice In Chains (who were the first "grunge" band to really break into the mainstream) or Pearl Jam (who were probably the most successful). their music has a lot more to do with 60s and 70s pop than with 80s, which is really the main musical antecedent of grunge. |

| Hmmm ... According to wiki my big brother and I must have been picking up psychic signals from Mark Arm: Origin of the term The word grunge is believed to be a back-formation from the US slang adjective grungy,[2] which originated in about 1965 as a slang term for "dirty" or "filthy." Mark Arm, the vocalist for the Seattle band Green River—and later Mudhoney—is generally credited as being the first to use the term grunge to describe this sort of music. Arm first used the term in 1981, when he wrote a letter under his given name Mark McLaughlin to the Seattle zine, Desperate Times, criticizing his band Mr. Epp and the Calculations as "Pure grunge! Pure noise! Pure shit!" Clark Humphrey, editor of Desperate Times, cites this as the earliest use of the term to refer to a Seattle band, and mentions that Bruce Pavitt of Sub Pop popularized the term as a musical label in 1987–88, using it on several occasions to describe Green River.[3] Arm used grunge as a descriptive term rather than a genre term, but it eventually came to describe the punk/metal hybrid sound of the Seattle music scene. |

| lusty morgan, i agree 90%...almost always the studio let that genre down badly fun as fuck at the show tho |
| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 1:06 pm |
| Yeah, totally. The Cramps stuff worked in the 80s on albums because they didn't really capture their live sound at all, it was a whole different thing. |

| I consider Alice In Chains the template for the grunge stereotype. I totally own Grunttruck vinyl, by the way. |
| TheLustyGhost - 6/9/09, 1:09 pm |
| Creed doesn't even count, Christian Rock exists on an alternate timeline (except for emo/screamo and more recently grindcore, which seem to have integrated their CCM counterparts into the touring and festival circuit pretty tightly). |

| Has anyone heard the new Blacklisted album? It sounds like they're trying to be at the forefront of the grunge revival by becoming Nirvana. |
| thedeathofsid - 12/21/09, 12:51 am |
| I dunno about a grunge music revival I'm ok with people dressing like john fogerty again. |
| chrissie - 12/21/09, 12:52 am |
| aimy & i were looking at the rodarte for target collection last night and it was filled with courtney love style slips. |

| TheLustyGhost - 12/21/09, 11:14 am |
| A couple months ago I found Pearl Jam VS at the Good Will on vinyl and I actually kept it. I even listened to it a couple of times. |
| jgonyea - 12/21/09, 12:22 pm |
| JayCal - 12/21/09, 9:40 am ha, yeah, the "hey!" in I Am Weighing Me Down is straight up kurt wrong album, but sure. they don't have any of the new songs on the myspace for some reason. here's a video of them playing one of the songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_rxKEtUFr4 |

| "jessie your a good dog such a good dog" remember that one PAW dragline album. got it on cassette when it came out and i still listen to it. |
| JayCal - 12/21/09, 6:08 pm |
| two paw albums were great |
| TheLustyGhost - 12/21/09, 6:17 pm |
| Picked up Siamese Dream on vinyl this afternoon. Not really grunge, but period appropriate. |
| JohnK - 12/21/09, 6:18 pm |
| hi morgon! |
| TheLustyGhost - 12/21/09, 6:18 pm |
| Was listening to the Giant Sand set from Vermonstress earlier. They played really badly, but it's pretty awesome to hear an Electrohamonix Talking Pedal. |
| djd - 12/21/09, 6:19 pm |
| I see that JayCal agreed with me, but djd - 6/9/09, 12:39 pm TheLustyGhost - 4:31 pm (68.163.142.215) ac,I've heard that story, too. djd - 4:09 pm (192.136.22.4) Grunge wasn't ironic. I was going to agree with you, but then I remembered the lyrics to like 30% of Nirvana's output. Although despite their iconic status, they're not really part of the main current of Grunge at all. Viewing irony in life and expressing that in your lyrics doesn't mean that your music is ironic, i.e., tongue-in-cheek, being half-serious half-not, etc. IMO. ... what the fuck was I talking about? |
| TheLustyGhost - 12/21/09, 6:19 pm |
| Grunge Revival started for me when I downloaded the Vermonstress tapes off a blog back in '07 and heard the Pond set. |
| JohnK - 12/21/09, 6:46 pm |
| 70's psycrock/metal is imminent |
| TheLustyGhost - 12/21/09, 6:49 pm |
| JohnK - I think that revival was really around '04 to '06. P.S. I loved Jimmy The Idiot Boy and the Bjork videos you did. |
