'Grunge'

'Grunge' is not only a salacious slang, but a widely known form of music. Grunge is a slang that uses the word 'grungy', which originated around 1965 and means 'filthy', or 'dirty'. Mark Arm, vocalist of Green River, used the word (generally know) first to describe his music. Grunge is also known as the Seattle Sound, owing to the fact that it originated in the mid 1980s in Washington (USA), and particularly in Seattle. It was inspired by hardcore punk, heavy metal, and indie rock. The music includes heavily distorted electric guitar, bass guitars, drums, and vocals; often uneased lyrics. The grunge movement united in Seattle's independent record label; Sub Pop. It became more and more successful in the mid 1990s, and tied in with commercials. This is mainly because of the release of Nirvana's song "Nevermind", and Pearl Jam's song "Ten." The outspread made grunge the superlative form of hard rock. However, in the late 1990s the music style faded again, and became less known. Although it has only been majorly known and advertised for several years, it has influenced today's music loads.
