Your Definition
a derivitive of punk rock that has a disorted, murky sound. Term was first used [in the early] to mid 1980's to describe bands such as green river, the melvins etc... also called the 'northwest' sound-as the majority of this music origionated in [the pacific] north west of america-especially around the seattle area, or the 'subpop' sound, as many of the 'grunge' records were released on this small lable. 'grunge' reached the mainstream in the late 1980's/early 1990's with the breakthrough of acts such as nirvana, soundgarden, mudhoney, pearl jam, alice in chains and so on and so forth. grunge really ended around the time of the death of [kurt cobain] in 1994, but many origional fans see the end of grunge with the over comercialisation of the music around the time nirvanas nevermind was released, the most extreme case of this overcomercialisation being the vogue grunge spread.
