Collection: Grunge

Grunge, a raw and gritty genre that emerged in the late 1980s, blends elements of punk, metal, and alternative rock to create a sound that's both heavy and melodic. With its distorted guitars, angst-filled lyrics, and DIY ethos, grunge encompasses a wide range of subgenres and regional variations. From the sludgy tones of alternative metal to the more polished sounds of post-grunge and nu metal, the genre has evolved while maintaining its core intensity. Grunge's influence can be heard in modern hard rock, noise rock, and even emo-tinged offshoots. The genre's global reach is evident in its various national scenes, including Canadian rock, Australian alternative rock, and Czech rock, while also inspiring feminist-driven movements like riot grrrl. Whether it's the spacey atmospherics of grungegaze or the politically charged energy of hardcore punk, grunge continues to shape alternative music worldwide.
