Well since grunge is almost exclusive to Seattle it's a safe bet on my part. That's why all the talk with Weiland always comes with an asterisks
Music is not exclusive to a certain geographical location. Grunge was huge in Australia and England in the 90s.

Yes after a genre has been established to the point it becomes main stream. It is the original core that made it a genre to begin with that counts not all the 2nd and 3rd waves. Musical genres are created typically by local environmental variables that cultavate a certain sound. After that when it spreads the rest are copy cats. I.e Mississippi River Delta blues, Seattle grunge, DC go-go, west coast gangsta rap, la strip hair bands, etc, etc, etc.

I already feel old cause I realized today that the kids that graduate high school next year were born after I graduated.
Yeah, I've been realizing that most of the kids I'm in class with hadn't started kindergarten or first grade by the time I graduated. They still think I'm their age-ish, though

Shits weird

Yeah I don't buy that crap. It would be easy to then just claim grunge is just a modern rip off of 80s hardcore, which is a rip off of 70s punk. There's is nothing special about a genre. It's just a way to categorize media. And those that are the earliest to create music within a genre aren't the Gold standard of that genre. Especially when what is good or not is completely subjective to the individual.

I mean, I do have a teenager so it was bound to happen eventually. (Me getting old).
 
If you watch the Foo Fighters Sonic Highways documentary it goes through a ton of regional sounds and genres. As well as Metal: a headbangers journey. I've read a few stories recently exploring how with the internet and communication in general the local variables that influenced and created genres is basically gone.

Of course genres take off of previous ones and the environmental variables add their own piece. Like the grunge scene came out of the weather not really allowing people outside so they were constantly inside listening to music and creating bands. And at the time very few major bands would tour Seattle because at the time it wasn't cost effective so they grew up with the same people doing the same music switching bands and making new ones. Eventually it led to a specific sound. Even the name grunge came from an interview with Mark Arm. There's a book called Everyone Loves Our Town. It's a great historical run through of the time and music scene.

Big hit on my bus's radio when I was in kindergarten or so.

Wanna feel really old? People born in 1999 can be in porn now.
dunno if it was intentional but 1999 is when that album came out so if that album was a person, it could do porn
I was in 8th grade, and I got the CD as a gift from my secret santa, and I fucking loved it. it does not hold up :lol:

When I lived in Europe I only had a handful of CDs so we would measure distance by album length. Like how long does it take to drive to Luxembourg? Well 2 Dr. Dre and a Maxwell.

I'm not arguing that grunge didn't originate from Seattle. I'm arguing that grunge bands from outside Seattle aren't second rate, and some are better than some of the Seattle ones.
