RE: Grunge the gift that keeps giving... another sub-genre of Metal is called Post Grunge [Metal Tree: 22]
I always thought of Nirvana when I thought of grunge, because well, they defined the genre. It's more of a slowed down punk than some of their contemporaries who sounded more like metal minus the solos to me (and lower register singers in most cases). Don't get me wrong, I like some of those bands, but I would file them under the catch all 'alternative rock' moniker.
Why the flag @asshole? Just trying to be an asshole I take it.
Yeah, you need to read my other posts and you will likely understand why these bands are here. Nirvana was covered in the post on Grunge (Metal Tree 14)... the post is covering a sub-genre known as Post Grunge.
Oh yeah, I definitely get why they're here, I was just more or less agreeing with your confusion as to why the bands here were labeled in this way in the first place. The band I was in during the early 2000s was labeled post grunge, but we weren't exactly going for a grunge sound.
Yeah, my goal is to complete that Metal Evolution chart. I may add a branch or two afterwards. I am not familiar with all of them. All I can tell about the Post Grunge is they all seemed to fall in the decade of the 1990s.
I did notice the vocals often had that kind twangy whining singing style that Grunge kind of created. So perhaps that is where the grunge elements came from.
