'Grunge' was laughable as soon as they started trotting that stupid ****ing word around.
No one my age used that word, unless we were making fun of old people.
'My aunt said 'grunge', hahahah!! Then I said I didn't want gravy on my mashed potatoes, and she said 'that's okay, you're 'alternative'. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!'
But no one who was in the moment ever went 'think I'll listen to some 'grunge' as they reach for the Mudhoney CD...ever.
Like, it was just rock music to us. There was no 'grunge movement' - all that shit's in hindsight. Geffen records was pushing Nirvana's Nevermind just as hard as they pushed GN'R and Aerosmith back then, played them all on the same radio stations. The compartmentalization within the industry didn't happen until later, after Nevermind went to number one and they realized the MARKET that was available.
