This happen s with all popular art. At first it is cutting edge and exciting until successful and co-opted to sell ideas and products to the masses. The last thing the status quo wants is a true rennaisance allowed to reach a natural conclusion as it is unpredictable and could mean they lose their status as powerful elite in a world of consumer children. Better to profit and and control the outcome. This is why so many of the pure artists off themselves once reaching the pinnacle of success. They become either disillusioned and kill themselves or uncontrollable and someone kills them.
David Duncan it died on its own when most of them couldn’t last past the mid 90’s because of either death, addiction, or creative differences. To me you can’t go wrong with any 90’s music, the mid 90’s was just as great as the early part. Shit didn’t go bad until about 2004 and has gotten worse since. Currently there are some good bands but they don’t get mainstream
Intoxicated Daze not necessarily, besides Kurt I guess. For Layne it was DEFINITELY heroin, and for Chris, considering it was just a few years ago, I’m pretty sure it was depression that he had been fighting throughout his life, mostly unrelated to fame.
and Scott too! but chris was the one that hit me the most because i looked up to him. only recently i was able to cover his songs and listen to his music cause i would break down crying for him. i was a bit like that with layne too because he knew he was dying and couldn't be saved i was so sad for him when he passed he was unbelievably talented! i always wished layne and chris did music together as a super group. two of one of the greatest voices of all time. they were simply that amazing. i remember kurts death too that made me sad but didnt impact me as much as chris etc. i was young but upset that he was gone. we need eddie vedder in a vault hes the only one thats left.
I was 13 in 1991 and remember when grunge was spat on in school because it was the shit those kids in the back of class listened to. Rocker kids were often thought of as dirtbags back then. Then suddenly it was a tsunami across MTV and corporate media and it suddenly became "fashionable" and even the popular preppies, princesses and jocks in school were jumping on the bandwagon and dressing in plaid shirts. It was a weird time, but a true gem of an era in music history.
Great comment, JJ. Reminds me when I was in high school, '84-'88, & I hung around the skate-punks who turned me onto the punk scene, as it was dying out actually. Black Flag & FEAR were my favs & my normie friends/family/baseball teammates thought I was "turning bad". 😎
I was born in 78, listening to slayer, pumpkins, nirvana in 91. One year I was getting bullied and made fun of for what I listened to and what I wore (which had nothing to do with fashion and everything to do with the fact that I was poor). A year later, everyone was listening to the the same music as me and shopping at Value Village. But Grade 11, I was being made fun of and being called a wannabe. Bunch of bullshit.
@ripsaa2003 yeah, I completely agree, even though I never lived up there, personally, it's my ever so humble and usually ignored opinion that Courtney is in fact a great freaking songwriter and singer. And all that shit about her killing Kurt is exactly that, a completely superfluous pile of shit. Kurt Cobain was on his way to the graveyard the first time he ran dope up his arm, some people live through it, some don't. It's almost that simple in some respects. I'm a recovering alcoholic and addict myself, while I can respect both the music that he made and the struggles that he went through, I have major problems with the choice that he made to check out. Once you bring a child into the world, you're simply no longer allowed to do that. Once you undertake the responsibility of becoming a parent, it's more than just yourself that you are responsible for. It's a damn shame that he couldn't see that. I hope that it's better wherever he is now
Calling it the last great era feels kind of like a betrayal to all the people making good rock music today, but I totally agree it was the last era of rock legends, and looking at how people are consuming music differently now, no matter how much good new rock music there is it will probably always be the last legendary era
Ollie Foxx Nu-Metal, Pop Punk and Metalcore are some big genres which came up after the 90’s. I’m sure that the present lack of popular rock will soon result in some new genre too.
I don't care what anyone says. Courtney had Kurt killed. I will believe this until my dying day. Even her own father said he believed she was capable of killing Kurt.
The Lawnmower Ix. 091 they literally showed the 5 main Seattle bands to hit it big. If you wanna say they should’ve highlighted more than those bands I’d agree but they didn’t just show nirvana here
@The Lawnmower Ix. 091 To be fair, it was Nirvana's success that sparked the explosion of the so-called "grunge movement". Were it not for them, all those other great bands might have never reached the general public.
I thought so at first, but when the played the slow motion, I noticed that he turned that into the "h1dd3n h@nd" gesture, so we know what that means -- m@50n1c nw0.
If anyone started a station just playing videos from beginning of MTV, VH1 with videos of the new(er) organic BANDS that actually play organic instruments they’d be watched 24/7. Just like the good ole days, no polarized propaganda just a great escape where music brings ppl together.
4:48 I know exactly what that kid means. When you like a band that isn't well known then hits it big & gains thousands/ millions of fans & is constantly on Tv/ radio/ internet, it's like someone stole something special that you felt only belonged to you. It's a shitty feeling. That's how I felt about Nirvana. PS- why tf does he have earplugs in his nostrils?
I'm 53 and Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, The Melvins, Mudhoney, STP, and quite a few unmentioned bands are STILL in my daily rotation of music I listen too. Without question one of the greatest time periods in music history...... and definitely the "coolest" bunch of musicians ever assembled.

You know after all this time it's still offensive to me that "the Grunge look" was ever mass marketed as a "new" trend that "originated" in Seattle. For fuck's sake the whole thrift store, hand-me-down clothes, flannel, long johns, knit hats, sensible stout footwear was NOT a Grunge or Seattle thing. It was - and still is - a fucking working poor thing. We dressed in layers in fall and winter because my parents couldn't afford a good winter jacket for each kid. We wore thrift store clothes for the same reason. We wore flannel because it was soft, warm, cheap, easy to layer and found in every thrift store for under three bucks. We wore stout sensible shoes like boots because while a good pair would cost your parents a pretty penny they wouldn't have to buy a new pair for three years and you could find them for cheap at army/navy surplus stores. We could tell the posers because they were the kids whose parents picked them up from school in new Mercedes and BMWs, lived in the million dollar home area of the city and wouldn't have been caught dead in flannel before some douchebag, has-been, pop star put their name on the front pocket or collar. It took twenty years after Cobain's death for the price of a brand new flannel shirt in a department store to drop back down to ten or twelve bucks from a high of around twenty five for the store brand and over eighty bucks for the name brands.
As a broke person who thrifts clothes in a time when "vintage" is becoming synonyms with "fancy" and a pair of old mom jeans cost around the same as a a new pair of jeans, making once-cheap thrift stores inflate their prices and attracting the upper class, I feel this in my soul.
Bottom line is even tho people say there is still good rock you gotta find it, that there is no big movement or collective group of people in rock music now days.
Mosh pits were beautiful, insane, and most of all fun. Such a pure expression of angst and frustration with corporate fascism until it became corporate just like all popular art eventually does.
Rob Banks he meant that the raw and organic musical movement got engulfed by corporations. And that is exactly what happened, I saw it change. It was sad.
I was born 1983..I remember wearing a flanel with a chain wallet with a soundgarden superunknown shirt with ripped up jeans with converse shoes with my hair parted directly down the middle..
Bonus 90s points if you used punky colors or manic panic to dye your parted hair blue,green or some other unnatural color. I think i had just about every color of the rainbow by the time I was 12 lol. It was a huge trend in 6th-7th grade and the kids whose parents wouldn't let them use dye used magic markers. Also jnco jeans and airwalks, babydoll dresses with doc martens, smeared lipstick for the girls emulating Courtney love and Babes in toy lands style .
1:06 and that’s where the downward spiral and constant pain began for poor ol Kurt... Jokes aside him and Krist look like they wanna sink into the floor lol
I don't know whose face is funnier in the Nirvana SNL promo, Kurt trying so smile while cringing or Dave's eyes gradually bugging out, looking like something is slowly making its way up his leg lol. It never fails to make me laugh

Extremely sad seeing Loder's report of Kurt's death though 😔. R.I.P, Layne and Kurt 💜🤘🏻. Your wings are no longer denied
Yeah...I have SuperUnknown and their double CD of Greatest Hits & B Sides and LOVE alot of Soundgarden's songs (Blow up the Outside World, Fell on Black Days, Rusty Cage, Jesus Christ Pose, Spoonman...I could go on) but Layne and Kurt were my Idols. Chris was DEFINITELY one of the greatest and made a shit ton of a contribution to the grunge/heavy rock movement and I have a fuck load of respect for the guy but, as I said, wasn't exactly my Idol. Same goes for Scott Weiland. I love his music with STP and VR (aswell as own all STP's albums and VR's Contraband) but although his death was upsetting, it didn't floor me

I’m currently 25, and I’ve always been stuck on music of the 90’s. Early 2000’s was a grab at the past, with a twist. Both are amazing, but 90’s was essential for all we have now nearly. Nirvana, Faith No More, Bush (obviously the Melvins too). I mean metal as well, and the evolution of punk.. grunge/whatever you want to call it. Even rap was at its best. Skateboarding was blowing up at the same time. I love all this stuff to this day, even though I was super young when it was all happening. It stayed around, coming from a working class background I think it was the most accessible social culture. It was super diverse, fashion wasn’t all that expensive when everyone wears old T-shirt’s and ripped up home made stuff. Movies as well! A lot of my favourite movies are from the 90’s. I discovered Nirvana at 13 years of age.. bit late to the party but they seemed timeless. I couldn’t believe what actually happened with the band, and how Kurt was just.. gone. It was soul destroying man. Anyway! Just thought I’d share ;) the 90’s were awesome and I’m glad to have caught the last bit of it! It’s still with me to this day :)
This is for S K but, thought I'd throw this out for Grunge Scene family to digest. (Epic Tome time) S K, I feel you. Back in the late '80s I was obsessed w/Led Zeppelin & Black Sabbath. I hated that I'd never see them live. In '91 my Cajun friend bought a used Fender Jazz Bass(no shortage of music shops in Mid TN) & found us a place to practice/learn to play. An old early 20th century cannery converted to 12+ practice rooms for bands. I picked up a sweet used Pearl Export 5-pc drum kit in red metallic for $200 and we moved into stinky, dank room #9 at Concert Productions Murfreesboro TN. We absolutely sucked. We would sometimes wait hours for the "real" bands to leave b4 we even plugged in we were so bashful. Didn't matter that we sucked. We kept at it like a miner digging for gold. Continued in Replies....
We became a screeching, distorted 2-pc band (inb4 White Stripes-love 'em) and enlisted our Arkansas Hillbilly friend who loved to hunt & scream as our lead singer and it was perfect. By '93 we had 3 original, complete songs: All of Your Lies, Jimmy Had a Dog & our all-time #1 hit, C@@n Huntin'. We played at the infamous Springwater in Nashville & parties various/sundry. We still sucked but, it didn't matter. Even the Boomer hippies at Springwater liked us. Said, "You guys sound like a rough Foghat." Best compliment I ever got. Continued...
We were like you, S K. We looked back at the '70s as you look back at the '90s & that's cool. We started this alt.-thrash-rock band as a catharsis and dove head-first into a scene we really had no b'ness being in. And in so doing had the time of our lives in the always hated, never duplicated dirty South. I want to hear back in the future from S K that he's bought a guitar or drum kit, something and is searching out his local live scene. You won't regret a single minute of it.
Rock didn't seem to recover after Kurt's passing. It was such a huge blow to music perhaps "the day that music died". All that crap that came out in the early 2000's to today's generic robot beats, auto tune, whisper singing with zero emotion or talent I don't think would of ever been. Grunge would of went in longer, would of influenced more young people, and would of set a higher standard to get a record deal than today.
I was born in 95. A little too late to see it happen. My parents went through the 80 as teens/young adults and love the 90s more. I can remember my dad blaring a mix of grunge and classic rock in his carpentry work shop at all hours. He passed away when I was 17 in 2013 and these songs bring back memories like nothing else. Grunge is one of the greatest genres to come out of rock n roll/blues/folk music and to those that enjoy it, it holds a special place in their heart.
I don't like or dislike the label of this music as Grunge. I think if it offends you so much just realise simple, mainstream people like to label things and move on with your life. Wish someone had said that to Kurt Cobain. He might still be here
I wore flannel and long johns back in the late 80's. I believe it was called "Ski Bum". Now it's kids that are living in their parents 3 story cabin in Lake Tahoe. Back in the day with the help of a movie called "Hot Dog". Made me go work at Squaw Valley. What I figured out was one had too buy a season pass and work at night. Go hot tubbing with my blonde green eyes girlfriend from San Francisco University. It was a dream
I agree with you and grunge peaked in '94 but still hung around in the mainstream until '96 or so. But yeah 93-94 was the peak. In Utero, Vs., Superunknown, Purple, Jar of Flies, etc.
1991 was a great year too. Release of “Ten” by Pearl Jam, “Nevermind” by Nirvana, and “Badmotorfinger” by Soundgarden. These albums helped propel grunge movement into the mainstream. I think ‘89 and ‘90 weren’t that bad of years either.
The quote at the end was from Courtney- it’s been said she was the one to always call the press and inform them of 80% of what was happening/not happening-
The part I don't get is Sound garden sounded nothing like Nirvana who sounded nothing like Pearl Jam, so why was it called the Seattle sound? They didn't sound anything alike.
Man once the media and corporations got a hold of it they really oversaturated and sucked the life out of the scene.

Jokes aside him and Krist look like they wanna sink into the floor lol
MTV buzz clips. Damn, they use to show music videos.
Cat Butt - best Seattle band name back in the day
I don't know whose face is funnier in the Nirvana SNL promo, Kurt trying so smile while cringing or Dave's eyes gradually bugging out, looking like something is slowly making its way up his leg lol. It never fails to make me laugh
I could watch 1:10-1:14 another 50 times and still find it funny asf 😆👌🏻. Gets me every time.
And "I'm Layne Staley and you're watching Rage.. aren't you? Yes you are"😆. Another funny asf fave of mine. Hilarious spunk he is💜. Dirt NEVER leaves rotation in my car CD player. Good to see the ad for its release here. Extremely sad seeing Loder's report of Kurt's death though 😔.
R.I.P, Layne and Kurt 💜🤘🏻. Your wings are no longer denied
And Chris. I mean, seriously...
Yeah...I have SuperUnknown and their double CD of Greatest Hits & B Sides and LOVE alot of Soundgarden's songs (Blow up the Outside World, Fell on Black Days, Rusty Cage, Jesus Christ Pose, Spoonman...I could go on) but Layne and Kurt were my Idols. Chris was DEFINITELY one of the greatest and made a shit ton of a contribution to the grunge/heavy rock movement and I have a fuck load of respect for the guy but, as I said, wasn't exactly my Idol.
Same goes for Scott Weiland. I love his music with STP and VR (aswell as own all STP's albums and VR's Contraband) but although his death was upsetting, it didn't floor me
« It pissed me off »
Why?
« Well, i liked them first ! »
Who can relate ?
06:00 I miss Chris, wonder what he would think of today?
That Soundgarden performance on Hype still gives me chills every-time I watch it.
5:13 Rest in Peace Mia Zapata
Does Smashing Pumpkins get excluded because they are from Chicago?
They are excluded because they aren't grunge. They are alternative. Even they have said that they didn't like being grouped as grunge.
For the last segment, you should have pulled the Blind Melon performance from David Letterman.
It's damn powerful.
I want those Grunge pencils!!!
My first album I ever bought was Pearl Jam - Ten on cassette
it was all fun and happy and then he brought up kurts death and im like o yeah :/ rip
Does anyone else remember those 1-800 Collect commercials in the 90's? That had to have been the most aggressive ad campaign I've seen by far.
Thanks Phone Dude!
not a huge deal but it’s ‘90s not 90’s. very very common error
Oh. Couldn’t it also be ‘90’s then?
Chernobog that would technically be possessive, meaning of or belonging to ‘90. ppl pluralize with apostrophes all the time but it’s not always right
Good call i didnt realize how silly that is. Its like saying the cloud's or the good 'ol day's lol
Hype! Is one of the greatest docs of all time. It captured a feeling so genuine, it changed my life.
Grunge should have never been called grunge. it should have been called lumberjack rock
Ooof
Baggy plaid
Maybe it looked like that but they were the opposite of those kinds of people
@@DrunkenSlob they were simply artist that formed a unique sound : a category of artistic, musical, or literary composition characterized by a particular style, form, or novel genre. 2 : kind, sort. 3 : that depicts scenes or events from everyday life usually realistically.
No no he’s got a point
I’m currently 25, and I’ve always been stuck on music of the 90’s. Early 2000’s was a grab at the past, with a twist. Both are amazing, but 90’s was essential for all we have now nearly. Nirvana, Faith No More, Bush (obviously the Melvins too). I mean metal as well, and the evolution of punk.. grunge/whatever you want to call it. Even rap was at its best. Skateboarding was blowing up at the same time. I love all this stuff to this day, even though I was super young when it was all happening. It stayed around, coming from a working class background I think it was the most accessible social culture. It was super diverse, fashion wasn’t all that expensive when everyone wears old T-shirt’s and ripped up home made stuff. Movies as well! A lot of my favourite movies are from the 90’s. I discovered Nirvana at 13 years of age.. bit late to the party but they seemed timeless. I couldn’t believe what actually happened with the band, and how Kurt was just.. gone. It was soul destroying man. Anyway! Just thought I’d share ;) the 90’s were awesome and I’m glad to have caught the last bit of it! It’s still with me to this day :)
I recently have been listening music from 90's and I love bands like Nada surf or Hum.
Also 25 and honestly grunge was the shit...90s was am influential time for sure
I love this post✌
Early 2000s sucked Hell everything past 1997 has been total & utter goat shit.
"Skateboarding was blowing up at the same time." That's funny, skateboarding was blowing up for me back in 1976-78.
This is for S K but, thought I'd throw this out for Grunge Scene family to digest. (Epic Tome time)
S K, I feel you. Back in the late '80s I was obsessed w/Led Zeppelin & Black Sabbath. I hated that I'd never see them live.
In '91 my Cajun friend bought a used Fender Jazz Bass(no shortage of music shops in Mid TN) & found us a place to practice/learn to play. An old early 20th century cannery converted to 12+ practice rooms for bands.
I picked up a sweet used Pearl Export 5-pc drum kit in red metallic for $200 and we moved into stinky, dank room #9 at Concert Productions Murfreesboro TN.
We absolutely sucked. We would sometimes wait hours for the "real" bands to leave b4 we even plugged in we were so bashful.
Didn't matter that we sucked. We kept at it like a miner digging for gold.
Continued in Replies....
We became a screeching, distorted 2-pc band (inb4 White Stripes-love 'em) and enlisted our Arkansas Hillbilly friend who loved to hunt & scream as our lead singer and it was perfect.
By '93 we had 3 original, complete songs: All of Your Lies, Jimmy Had a Dog & our all-time #1 hit, C@@n Huntin'.
We played at the infamous Springwater in Nashville & parties various/sundry. We still sucked but, it didn't matter. Even the Boomer hippies at Springwater liked us. Said, "You guys sound like a rough Foghat." Best compliment I ever got.
Continued...
We were like you, S K. We looked back at the '70s as you look back at the '90s & that's cool.
We started this alt.-thrash-rock band as a catharsis and dove head-first into a scene we really had no b'ness being in. And in so doing had the time of our lives in the always hated, never duplicated dirty South.
I want to hear back in the future from S K that he's bought a guitar or drum kit, something and is searching out his local live scene.
You won't regret a single minute of it.
This honestly just makes me sad. I miss my youth
90s Dave grohl is so funny looking
Kurt at 1:13 being like "Bro that's kinda cringe bro"
lol no one from the 90´s generation would say bro
Rock didn't seem to recover after Kurt's passing. It was such a huge blow to music perhaps "the day that music died". All that crap that came out in the early 2000's to today's generic robot beats, auto tune, whisper singing with zero emotion or talent I don't think would of ever been. Grunge would of went in longer, would of influenced more young people, and would of set a higher standard to get a record deal than today.
Jack White is the Rock and Roll god of the 2000s.
There is no "grunge look". They all just wore what they wanted
2:36 "new music by"
Grunge: the fashion of the urban lumberjack. Duck boots and long underwear! 😂
0:37 this is what's known as " defeating the purpose"
Grunge isn't dead, it will return.
AIC, Pearl Jam and Mudhoney are still around.
The internet killed the band, and pretty much everything else
1:45 Tell me the guy talking isn't a Fred Armisen character.
I missed the 90s I was 16 in 93
Lol was that Larry 'Bud' Melman dressed in grunge clothes at 3:45? I remember him from the David Letterman show.
I was born in 95. A little too late to see it happen. My parents went through the 80 as teens/young adults and love the 90s more. I can remember my dad blaring a mix of grunge and classic rock in his carpentry work shop at all hours. He passed away when I was 17 in 2013 and these songs bring back memories like nothing else. Grunge is one of the greatest genres to come out of rock n roll/blues/folk music and to those that enjoy it, it holds a special place in their heart.
1:07 I thought they were sitting. Then I realized that’s the Chuckster. Then I realized Krist is freakishly tall
Cool dudes
The media ruins everything.
HOLY SHIT KURT LODER! Wow, haven't seen that guy, well since MTV played music! Awesome flashback.
Proud to be from Seattle. Xoxoxoxo
Man when MTV did live updates
The David fucking Spade commercial
" eheh heh heh save 44 % "
Grunge rocks
That sounds weird 🤣
That thumbnail! Lol
It's so sad to realize that many musicians from that 90's generation end up commiting suicide...
Jesus Christ,I am 12yrs old again 7th grade smh lol Damn
lol I remember 1800 Collect. Hadn’t thought of that in like 20 years.
“The grunge is spreading” 😂
thanks for adding the clip from rage was honestly surprised
I don't like or dislike the label of this music as Grunge. I think if it offends you so much just realise simple, mainstream people like to label things and move on with your life. Wish someone had said that to Kurt Cobain. He might still be here
I wore flannel and long johns back in the late 80's. I believe it was called "Ski Bum". Now it's kids that are living in their parents 3 story cabin in Lake Tahoe. Back in the day with the help of a movie called "Hot Dog". Made me go work at Squaw Valley. What I figured out was one had too buy a season pass and work at night. Go hot tubbing with my blonde green eyes girlfriend from San Francisco University. It was a dream
Now id love to see a nu metal collection of skits, commercials and parodys
that sounds like a migraine
1:06 Dave XDDD
1994 is the greatest year of music and the final year of grunge. Change my mind
I agree with you and grunge peaked in '94 but still hung around in the mainstream until '96 or so. But yeah 93-94 was the peak. In Utero, Vs., Superunknown, Purple, Jar of Flies, etc.
1991 was a great year too. Release of “Ten” by Pearl Jam, “Nevermind” by Nirvana, and “Badmotorfinger” by Soundgarden. These albums helped propel grunge movement into the mainstream. I think ‘89 and ‘90 weren’t that bad of years either.
Music? There was grunge, and after? Well, crap....I'm still rocki'n my grunge music in 2020, couldn't Jan with any other type of music.🤘
Very cool!
Nirvana were punk rock. A lot of their music did differ from the like of Soundgarden, Pearl Jam. They were a more unique sound imo.
The quote at the end was from
Courtney- it’s been said she was the one to always call the press and inform them of 80% of what was happening/not happening-
“It’s a great place to kill some brain cells”
I love how they used the melvins in the background of the news
GRUNGE 4 LIFE
The part I don't get is Sound garden sounded nothing like Nirvana who sounded nothing like Pearl Jam, so why was it called the Seattle sound? They didn't sound anything alike.
You said this was supposed to be funny.. I mean it was, until the end :(
What was that documentary called?
Hype
Seattle grunge rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! especially grunge icons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎶🔥🔥🎶🔥🎶🔥🎶🔥🎶🔥🎶🔥🎶🔥🎶🎶🔥🔥🎶🔥🎶
Plays Them Bones but doesn’t mention Alice In Chains at all
1800collect.....omg haha i feel old
Originally, SINGLES was what FRIENDS was based on . Then they had to clean it up and we get fucking Ross
John Norris looks like Flea while at a boarding school.
what is the song from 5.06 to 5.40??? sounded likable
What I want to know is how these things come out ? Like who is releasing TV adverts from 1992?
