GRUNGE

Now this was the "Web definition of grunge".
------------------------------------------------
The label applied to a rock form featuring distorted guitars, whining vocals and
flannel-shirt-wearing band members. Popularized by and associated primarily with
Seattle bands such as Nirvana and Alice in Chains

I thought that the music band GARBAGE was essentially grunge.
I dont know whether it is a separate genre by itself , though.

There is a basic melancholy and a cynical look at life if you check out
the lyrics.Although it is cynical, it conveys the gloom with real
simple lyrics...like
"I am sad" or "You want somebody who doesnt want you" or "No i dont have a gun" or "I am so ugly" , "You can keep me company as long as you don't care".

The guitars arent very clear.You dont have the 'clear twang' in the string.
mmmm...let me say it they go "whyoww whyoww".....Distortions are
really there and they are yes! distorted!.

The videos too.They are obscure and a crude mix of
pretty young things , unshaven dudes with dirty jeans almost falling,
blood , cigarettes , couch potato-ennui.

The artistes are young and pissed off at everything...

Have you have seen these videos ....You'll know what i am trying
to say!

"Come as you are" ,
"Heart Shaped Box" ,
"Black Hole Sun" from sound garden,
"I am only happy when it rains" from Garbage
"Sweet Dreams are made of these" by MARILYN MANSON not Eurhythmics!

A typical grunge lyrics of
"Im only happy when it rains".

I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
And why it feels so good to feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me

I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are going wrong
I only listen to the sad sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains

I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me
You can keep me company as long as you don't care

I'm only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession
I'm riding high upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour some misery down on me
