Here's why grunge is bad:
Awake 1999 2/8
"...Tribalism is also evident in some subcultures, such as the music scene: "In many cases," says Maclean's magazine, "the clothing matches musical tastes: reggae fans wear the bright colors and caps of Jamaica, while those favoring grunge rock sport ski tuques and plaid shirts." But whichever variety, the thrown-on, dressed-down, waiflike look of poverty, dubbed grunge, can cost a bundle."
I was deeply insulted by that statement. It is very innacurat, arrogant, and rude.
Grunge isn't about paying lots of money to look sloppy, and real fans know this. It's about not caring whether you have the best hair, the newest clothes, the sexiest makeup- that's why grunge bands frequently looked plain, and, yes, sometimes unkempt. The best grunge bands cared more about music than looking hot.
Edit: I can't paste the other reasons. I'll try to post them in a seperate comment. Stupid computer.
