Grunge never died it just lost popularity. I think the quality of the music is getting better this year. There is some new bands coming out and also veterans from the grunge era still rocking. Rock music in general is headed for a comeback. It is about time. Because music sucked for a while now. I have had a hard time finding bands that I liked in the last five years. Versus the early 90s that seemed to be a meca of great bands. We had the so called grunge bands and we had great bands like GNR, Metallica, Megadeth, Corrosion of Comformity, etc. I think we are finally headed for another period of great music.

Matter of fact I think grunge is headed for a comeback

we just got a great Pearl Jam record

AOA is coming out http://www.armyofanyone.com
VR is coming out with album 2
Audioslave just release revalations http://www.audioslave.com
burden brothers are releasing mercury http://www.theburdenbrothers.com

hell AIC is on tour

and smashing pumpkins are in the studio recording a new studio album.

This is all good man.

    I don't think it ever died as a sound. Fashionably it may have, but it has stayed around floating amoungst all the poo-poo.

    Apparently nu-metal is 'grunge' as well lol

    But seriously, to answer reeferchief's point: yes, the avocado is out, yes audioslave is out and doing well. But sadly it's primarily the 'grunge leftovers' - us, in our late teens, twenties and thirties - who are listening to them. These guys, Cornell, Vedder, Morello, the AIC guys. They're oldschool veterans. From old bands who already reached the height of their fame. Once they're gone, well...

    Only way real grunge will make a comeback is if the next generations started to listen to it in droves, which is unlikely. If I wanted to smile about grunge still being about, I'd smile about the fact that grunge has influenced every one of my favourite bands, and you can hear it in their current stuff.

    Y'see the problem with this is that most of those bands are beyond crap.

    And none of them are grunge. Just a few guys who used to be in bands that were classed as grunge.

    That will take at least another generation - like some young kids now get into ac/dc, zeppelin, pink floyd... i wouldn't rule out 10-15 years from now when grunge is considered part of classic rock....

    here is a thought..."grunge" never really existed!

    The term at best categorises a punk/heavy rock combination, but how many bands TRULLY were/are grunge? I don't think too many...ie...I never viewed Soundgarden, Sublime, PJ as grunge.
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    Dude 'grunge' never existed. Sorry, but it didn't. AIC, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana etc etc? They were all completely different. The whole concept of 'grunge' has more to do with geography than the music. Not trying to be an ass, merely making a observation.

    yeah I know what you mean that a lot of band that were labeled grunge sounded different. Soundgarden was more of a metal band. Pearl Jam more of seventies rock band my guess. Nirvana was more of a 80s indie band like their influences the meat puppets and such.

    Well anyways the music from that era seems to be making a come back. Eaither the old bands are getting back together or a new band is forming with old members. Also you got new bands that were inflenced by grunge. Like for instance Godsmack that was influenced by AIC. Days of the New sounded like AIC in some regard. Creed sounded a lot like a grunge band at times. Anyways yeah a lot of the new bands are not as good but you get the point.

    If you liked the Toadies the new band the Burden Brothers sounds a lot like them because it has the singer from the toadies.

    I think it is real exciting that AIC is touring again. I think it is awsome that Pearl Jam made a great record. I like Audioslave Revalations. Also, Chris Cornell is doing a solo project. Scott Weiland is doing a solo project. Hell the Foo Fighters are putting out a acustic album. We got AOA that is stp with the singer of filter putting an album out. This is the most activity I have seen in years. There is more bands that are worth listening putting out records now then their has been since the early 90s. That is my point.

    Rock is on a comeback in general. This is all good news for us music lovers.
