Your Definition

A derivative genre of grunge that incorporates other elements of rock. The earliest varieties had mainly strophic melodies with folk and hard rock auras (Pearl Jam, [Collective Soul], The Smashing Pumpkins, the Foo Fighters). Approaching the twenty-first century, post-grunge had diversified. Some bands drew from a melodic grungy punk vibe (e.g. Eve 6, Feeder), some blended bluesy or soulful singing with a subtle Jam Rock/Glam Rock facade (Counting Crows, Matchbox Twenty, Spacehog, Dishwalla, Marcy Playground), some were engrossed in turning nu metal into an alternating consonant-dissonant sound (Creed, Limp Bizkit, Incubus, even Live had undertones), some were inspired by the ethereal ear wash of psychedelic ambiance of Space Rock (Course of [Nature], The Tea Party, Ours, 3 Doors Down's "Kryptonite,"), some thrived off the pumped drumming and psychedelic strumming of Stoner Rock (primarily bands whose earlier songs were classified as Grunge, such as Soundgarden, [Screaming Trees], STP), and some flooded their melodies with the flat minor chords characteristic of blues rock (Mad Season, Powderfinger, Wide Mouth Mason, Kenny Wayne Shepherd). In the early 2000's, post-grunge garnered a widespread mainstream crowd with bands who focused on the mellifluous fluctuations of the singing voice and on a Roots Rock/Soft Rock [instrumental] precedence (Lifehouse, O.A.R., The Calling, [Matthew Good] Band).
