Grunge:The Beginnings

In the beginning of the 90's noone knew exactly where music was headed. Everyone was coming out of the hair metal and pop songs of the 80's, but no one was prepared for the way the music industry was about to be rocked and changed forever. A dark punkish sound that was coming out of bands from Seattle Washington were starting to get noticed by more than just underground clubs. The event that really sent these bands into mainstream success was the release of Nirvana's 1991 album "Nevermind". After that all bands that either came from Seatle(which was considered home of grunge) or sounded similar to Nirvana were called grunge.
