If the
sight of an overstretched grey wool cardigan gets you all excited for some
garage rock, you my friend are ready for Grunge 2.0.
I
haven’t heard it officially called that yet, but it seems incredibly fitting
since the genre is not quite new and ground zero for all things grunge – Seattle
is also the home of Microsoft. But I
digress…what I really want to say is: what’s going on!? Grunge only surfaced in
the 90s; some might even argue it never really died, giving way to lots of
scruffy bands, plaid shirts and Dave Grohl.
But
this year fall fashion spreads were all about the over-priced thrift looks
again, and bands like Dinosaur Jr. and Pavement are back headlining Sasquatch and the Pitchfork Music Festival. One has to
wonder – where will it all end.
Or
should it?
ARE YOU
HAPPY TO SEE GRUNGE AGAIN?
WERE
YOU A FAN BACK IN THE DAY?
WERE YOU AROUND FOR GRUNGE?
Let us
know your thoughts on grunge music and fashion, back then…and now.
