Hi! I really like Indie rock! Especially 90s grunge bands! Are you a fan?
Oh yeah, I've sometimes got the Strokes on repeat for days! I'm not really all that familiar with the genre, though.
Well, sometimes it's also called "alternative rock." I really like the Strokes! How about Green Day?
Their albums were essentially my high school theme music! Plenty of nostalgia comes with these bands, doesn't it? How did they come up with the term "grunge" bands?
I'm not exactly sure, but the term came from the Pacific Northwest, particularly Seattle. It's also sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound. I think that describes Nirvana pretty well, doesn't it?
That's pretty interesting; although, I've never been to Seattle so I unfortunately can't say. Did Nirvana start out in Seattle?
I think they did! 80s and 90s Indie rock was all about being different, like an outsider or underground band. But I think that with the Internet, things have changed and these bands are now more mainstream. What do you think?
I totally agree. Media is so widespread and easily accessed these days I think bands really have no choice but to conform to the masses. But like they say, the dream of the 90's is alive in Portland.
