3.1 Conclusion
So let's summarise what we've found
out about the phenomenon called grunge. It was originally used for the early Seattle
bands and their sound. Then with Nirvana's breakthrough the word grunge was used
for the much cleaner and more commercial sound of the modern grunge bands. The
music business and the media all made money with this new phenomenon. A grunge
fashion was established and the musicians got a very uncommercial attitude which
was directed against the media as they didn't want to be exploited by it anymore.
Kurt Cobain killed himself and Eddie Vedder found ways to avoid the mass media
attention. So grunge was declared dead. But the media found new targets in the
new grunge bands who worked together with it. Today the word grunge is nothing
more than a designation for a musical style which is a mixture between punk, heavy
metal and rock. As I already said at the end of 2.1.2 it has become a vogue word
and was thus alienated from its original meaning of which there is not much left.
3.2 Literary Sources
I'm sorry but I can't write down all
my sources here because I have got many texts from the Internet of which I simply
don't know anymore where they are from and as my brother has sold our modem and
as I hadn't got the time I couldn't surf in the Internet to find out the locations.
Further there may be things from many not mentioned texts as I have read very
much about grunge. I have only used very few texts but I also wrote a lot of things
from what I remembered.
