The Grunge Sound, referred as the Seattle sound in some occasions is really a form of alternative rock that that originated during the mid-1980s in the state of Washington, mainly in the Seattle area. Influenced through hardcore punk, heavy metal, and indie rock, grunge is normally known for its heavy distorted guitars rough sound and tough and hard driven lyrics. Grunge is more rebellious and compared to other forms of rock music, many grunge musicians were seen for their dirty appearances and rebellious in their performances.
The beginning grunge movement emerged around Seattle’s independent record label Sub Pop in the late 80’s.

“Grunge became commercially successful in the first half of the 1990s, due mainly to the release of Nirvana's Nevermind and Pearl Jam's Ten.”

As these bands became successful, they became a catalyst for the genre’s recognition. There were actually a lot of bands were generally uncomfortable with how popular the genre has become. Can you imagine that? The genre has had its peak and is already has faded however, a lot of aspiring rock composers still create some sort of influence from it
