- Grunge (à s vezes chamado de Seattle Sound ou Som de Seattle) é um subgénero do rock alternativo que surgiu no final da década de 1980 no estado americano de Washington, principalmente em Seattle, inspirado pelo hardcore punk, pelo heavy metal e pelo indie rock. As letras das bandas nomeadas grunge geralmente caracterizam-se por altas doses de angústia e sarcasmo, entrando em temas como alienação social, auto-dúvida, abuso, negligência, traição, isolamento social/isolamento emocional, trauma psicológico e desejo de liberdade. A estética grunge é despojada em comparação a outras formas de rock e muitos músicos grunge destacaram-se pela sua aparência desleixada e por rejeitarem a teatralidade nas suas performances. O inÃcio do movimento grunge agrupou-se em torno da gravadora independente Sub Pop, de Seattle, no final da década de 1980. O grunge tornou-se comercialmente bem-sucedido na primeira metade da década de 1990, devido principalmente aos lançamentos de Facelift, do grupo Alice in Chains, de Nevermind, do grupo Nirvana e Ten, do grupo Pearl Jam. O sucesso dessas bandas impulsionou a popularidade do rock alternativo e fez do grunge a forma mais popular de hard rock na época. No entanto, muitas bandas grunge estavam desconfortáveis com tal popularidade. Apesar de a maioria das bandas grunge se ter separado ou desaparecido no final da década de 1990, a sua influência continua a afetar o rock moderno. A popularidade do grunge começaria a diminuir em meados da década de 1990. Das grandes bandas que deram vida ao movimento, só essas estão ativas: The Melvins, Mudhoney, Alice in Chains e Pearl Jam.]

- Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound) is an alternative rock genre and subculture that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American Pacific Northwest state of Washington, particularly in Seattle and nearby towns. Grunge fuses elements of punk rock[1] and heavy metal, featuring the distorted electric guitar sound used in both genres, although some bands performed with more emphasis on one or the other. Like these genres, grunge typically uses electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals. Grunge also incorporates influences from indie rock bands such as Sonic Youth. Lyrics are typically angst-filled and introspective, often addressing themes such as social alienation, self-doubt, abuse, neglect, betrayal, social and emotional isolation, psychological trauma and a desire for freedom. The early grunge movement revolved around Seattle's independent record label Sub Pop and the region's underground music scene. The owners of Sub Pop marketed the style shrewdly, encouraging the media to describe it as "grunge"; the style became known as a hybrid of punk and metal.[10] By the early 1990s, its popularity had spread, with grunge bands appearing in California, then emerging in other parts of the United States and in Australia, building strong followings and signing major record deals. Grunge was commercially successful in the early-to-mid-1990s due to releases such as Nirvana's Nevermind, Pearl Jam's Ten, Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger, Alice in Chains' Dirt, and Stone Temple Pilots' Core. The success of these bands boosted the popularity of alternative rock and made grunge the most popular form of rock music at the time.[11] Several factors contributed to grunge's decline in prominence. During the mid-to-late 1990s, many grunge bands broke up or became less visible. Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, labeled by Time as "the John Lennon of the swinging Northwest", appeared unusually tortured by success and struggled with an addiction to heroin before his death at the age of 27 in 1994. Although most grunge bands had disbanded or faded from view by the late 1990s, they influenced modern rock music, as their lyrics brought socially conscious issues into pop culture[12] and added introspection and an exploration of what it means to be true to oneself.[13] Grunge was also an influence on later genres such as post-grunge (such as Creed and Nickelback) and nu metal (such as Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Slipknot).
