    in all honesty i dont think you can say that grunge was confined to seattle.it was started there and mainly based there but i stand by that the pixies were basicly grunge and that and the smashing pumpkins were grunge even according to themselves when they mistakeingly said "we are takeing grunge to a new level"

    For the love of god, being in Seattle does NOT define grunge. Its not an encapsulated country or something. Thousands of bands picked up the sound along the way. It just happens that a LOT of pioneers came from Seattle.


    oh, and imo releasing those goddam Cobain diaries is the most retarded thing I could have though of.

    actually, to be grunge you MUST be from seattle. the name came when Mark Arm was asked about the music scene in Seattle at the time and he said it was 'grungey' therefore, only bands from seattle at the time are grunge bands. any one else who sound like it are either alt. rock or 'nu-grunge' and dont even argue with that because im right

    Grunge is not a sound, it is a scene. the early 90's seattle rock scene. you cannot say that some band are grunge because they sound like it, as it doesnt work like that. grunge does not have a definative sound. Pearl Jam sound nothing like Alice In Chains who sound totally different to Nirvana who in turn sound very different to Soundgarden who are nothing like Mother Love Bone who have no musical similarities to Mudhoney. i could go on. the point is, grunge has nothing to do with a sound of music, it is to do with a place, at one time, and therefore no one outside it can be classified under it. NO EXCEPTIONS.

    Looks like Matthew agrees with you Darren. What a surprise!!!

    However, what you say about Pearl Jam, AiC, Soundgarden, etc. not sounding the same can be said about most types of music. AC/DC and Maiden sound nothing alike, yet they are classed under the same genre.

    I mean lets face it, if all bands in a particular genre sounded the same, there would be no point in having so many of them, they might as well just merge and form one big band.

    Maiden and AC DC sound a like. not very, but still. AiC and PJ etc sound NOTHING like each other. they have nothing in common with each other. there is a difference
