SOUNDGARDEN

Soundgarden was a Grammy Award winning American rock band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1984 by lead singer and drummer Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band's permanent drummer in 1986 while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. Soundgarden was one of the key archetypes in the creation of grunge, a style of alternative rock that developed in Seattle and was based around the band's record label Sub Pop. Soundgarden was the first grunge band to sign to a major label, though the band did not achieve commercial success until Seattle contemporaries Nirvana and Pearl Jam popularized grunge in the early 1990s.

ALICE IN CHAINS

Alice in Chains Discography

Alice in Chains is an American rock band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1987 by guitarist Jerry Cantrell and original lead vocalist Layne Staley. Although widely associated with grunge music, the band's sound incorporates heavy metal and acoustic elements. Since its formation, Alice in Chains has released four studio albums, three EPs, two live albums, four compilations, and two DVDs. The band is known for its distinct vocal style which often included the harmonized vocals of Staley and Cantrell.
Alice in Chains rose to international fame as part of the grunge movement of the early 1990s, along with other Seattle bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. The band was one of the most successful music acts of the 1990s, selling over 35 million albums worldwide, and over 15 million in the US alone. The band achieved two number-one Billboard 200 albums (Jar of Flies and Alice in Chains), 14 top ten songs on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and eight Grammy Award nominations.
Although never officially disbanding, Alice in Chains was plagued by extended inactivity due to substance abuse, culminating in the death of Layne Staley in 2002. Alice in Chains reunited in 2005 with new lead vocalist William DuVall and released Black Gives Way to Blue, their first studio album in 14 years, on September 29, 2009.

HOW TO BE GRUNGE

Study the roots of grunge.

• Grunge was heavily influenced by Sonic Youth and the Pixies. Also, the Beatles and many other pop bands as well.^[1][2]
• Grunge was also influenced by heavy metal of the early 70s, particularly Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.
• Punk also played a role in the development of grunge.

Protest the mainstream by opting out.

This is a key tenet of grunge. While punk and heavy metal objected to pop culture by catering to the opposite in flashy ways (e.g. mohawks, lyrics about Satan), grungers objected by simply not participating. They didn't care to shock people, and they didn't go out of their way to "nonconform". They just poked fun at mainstream America, and didn't bend to its ideals. A true grunger doesn't care to draw attention to him or herself, and doesn't do things with the motivation of raising eyebrows.

Don't give a %*&^ about your appearance. 

At all. Spend minimal time shopping and grooming. The customizing and tailoring that you see in DIY punk culture and the carefully chosen clothes you see in metalhead culture are nonexistent in grunge. Don't even go out of your way to wear flannel. Grungers wore it because it was readily available in the Pacific Northwest climate, and comfortable. So wear whatever is comfortable, and requires the least time and money to put on your body.

Stop caring about being admired. 

In fact, loathe it. The people who made grunge famous actually detested fame, and didn't want the huge following that many musicians dreamt of. Recognize that fame and popularity are shallow forms of validation that have no value to you, and can be an obstacle to your pursuit of music (or whatever else you're passionate about).

Try to be good but don't flatter yourself in front of other people. 

You (or anyone, Grunge or not) don't need to do it, and it only shows low self esteem and that you want to be admired.

Try to know as many grunge bands and grunge history as you can and want to.

If you just know Black Hole Sun and/or Kurt Cobain you're a poser.

Don't just listen to grunge music. 

Admit what other kind of music you like. Labeling yourself will only make you a poser. Whatever you do listen to though, make sure the person has talent.

Don't be a "drama queen" or a "drama king". 

It is okay to express how you feel, as long as it is real and you are being real with others. The frontmen/frontwomen from many of the grunge bands were able to express their feelings with raw reality and not with a synthetic, overly dramatized singing voice. They connected better with their audience by trusting them enough to be real with them, and not come off as an "unreachable" figure".

Listen to Grunge bands.

Listen to bands like Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, The Sons Of Elvis, Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Green River, etc.

Grunge (kadang-kadang disebut juga Seattle sound) adalah sebuah sub genre dari rock alternatif yang muncul pada pertengahan 1980-an di negara Amerika Washington, khususnya di wilayah Seattle. Terinspirasi oleh punk rock, heavy metal dan indie rock, grunge umumnya dikenali melalui suara distorsi gitar yang berat dan lirik melankonis atau apatistik.
Gerakan awal grunge mulai terlihat pada akhir tahun 1980-an di sekitar Seattle melalui label independen Sub Pop. Grunge menjadi sukses secara komersial pada paruh pertama tahun 1990-an, terutama karena dirilisnya Nevermind oleh Nirvana dan Ten oleh Pearl Jam. Keberhasilan band-band ini meningkatkan popularitas rock alternatif dan membuat grunge menjadi bentuk musik yang paling populer pada waktu itu. Namun, banyak band grunge tidak nyaman dengan popularitas. Meskipun banyak band grunge yang bubar atau menghilang dari pada akhir 1990-an, pengaruh mereka terus memiliki dampak bagi perkembangan musik rock modern selanjutnya.
Grunge adalah suatu musik yang menceritakan tentang luapan yang ada di dalam diri, atau menceritakan tentang kisah hidup yang tak bisa dilupakan.
