Nirvana is hard rock with punk overtones. They were definetley an alternative band compared to the **** that was being put out right before them. :cool:

Grunge rock was a label that the media tried to put on the seattle music scene. Some think that grunge came about with The Melvins in the mid 80's. Punk rock was really cool back then and people wanted The melvins to play punk. The Melvins wanted to piss people off so they slowed "punk rock" way down and called it Sludge. The media changed it to grunge. It's a ll rock n roll to me. :cool:

Alternative is such a broad category.....It is the label given for everything from Punk to Grunge to Techno Goth to just straight Rock.

I ****ing hate all this pointless catagorising!!

Yet, at the same time, i hate it when people say they like ROCK. That could mean any****inthing!!

So, basically, im a hypocrite and full of ****....hey that ryhmes!!!

I like all of the above, especially certain Melvins. Nirvanas In Utero. and a bit of Primus....what the **** are they??? Oh and crack on occasion.
