to me, it signifies loud, messy guitar rock, influenced equally by Blue Cheer and the Stooges. i love that sound.
i will admit that some of the more prominent major label bands who got stuck w/ that tag don't really fit it, but i do like a lot of the Sub Pop records that came out from '88 to '94 or so.
Loud and messy guitars are good, but rich white kids singing about how much their heroin addiction sucks bugged the crap out of me...imho, it begat Emo.
I cant think of any other grunge bands...I guess the therapy was succesful! Stooges rock, btw. I am with you on that!
I really cant stand NiN either...
One of my friends loved Creed, and when I finally told him that I thought it was odd that he was so into a Christian band, he said, "Dude, you must be thinking of the wrong Creed. These guys are always talking about atheism and stuff. You need to listen to the lyrics."

311 tops the list. Stupid white bread kids from a suburb of Omaha with a name that came from two of the guys swimming naked together. How did they sell one CD?

as a product of the 90's and i think grunge music / bands / flannel should come back . i think every band i liked in the 90's and still listen to was pretty much listed.this has to be the worst thread ever !
i'd have to vote for Chumbawumba. i was in Vegas for a hockey tournament and me and the team were at the Hard Rock and those Chumba tools were at the bar and so many people were hanging all over them!! i just laughed at them because they were acting like they were gods and s**t, fvcking tools!!
It's funny.........growing up in the 90's (as that's when 5th/6th grade & junior high/high school) was for myself most of those bands are what we had for music to listen to. A lot of the bands listed that people hate (which I don't care for the bands either) some of their songs were ok. Songs, not the entire CD, or even the ones that got airplay. I have to argue that much.
It's like you growing up in the 80's, that was your time-era's music. So of course you'll think the 90's stuff sucked butt. I'm sure it's the same though out the other generations as well.
I have to agree with the above, most of the music that has come out of the 90's, and for that matter the current trend of reality TV people just makes you shake your head. I'm still stuck in that 80's/90's stage with all types of music. I'll listen to classics, but with surfing/cycling and the more "extreme" style sports a lot of that music just blends in. A lot of the bands USE to be bad ass back in the day.......then as time has gone on (since people were bashing AFI) they've become more "radio friendly".
But other wise music is music. But I'll admit, anything no doubt gets old fast
