I seriously do not think Nirvana is grunge.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As far as the grunge thing, there are three bands from Seattle that I would call true grunge.
Grunge is a hippied romantic version of punk.
I never understood bands saying Nirvana had anything to do with derailing their career. Maybe those bands didn't have the goods.
I was big into grunge, like Nirvana and Hole, when I was younger, which has been a really huge inspiration because of its rawness and honesty.
We were perceived as a post-grunge band.
I never really followed grunge.
When it comes to grunge or even just Seattle, I think there was one band that made the definitive music of the time. It wasn't us or Nirvana, but Mudhoney. Nirvana delivered it to the world, but Mudhoney were the band of that time and sound.
I'm a huge Nirvana fan.
The world is a pile of grunge.
Nirvana is not the blowing out of the candle. It is the extinguishing of the flame because day is come.
