Grunge music was born in the late 1980s in Seattle, Washington. It was a subgenre of alternative rock that slowly began to take over the mainstream in the early 1990s. The grunge look was characterized by plaid shirts, ripped jeans, and scruffy hair. The music itself was raw and unpolished, with heavy guitar riffs and angsty lyrics.
One of the most iconic grunge bands was Soundgarden. They wereformed in 1984 by singer Chris Cornell and guitarist Kim Thayil. The band released their debut album Ultramega OKin 1988, but it wasn’t until their 1991 album Badmotorfinger that they began to gain mainstream attention. Badmotorfinger contained the hits “Rusty Cage” and “Outshined,” both of which received heavy rotation on MTV.
Soundgarden’s success reached a new level with their 1994 album Superunknown. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart and spawned several hit singles, including “Black Hole Sun,” “Spoonman,” and “My Wave.” Superunknown ended up being nominated for five Grammy Awards, winning two for “Black Hole Sun” (Best Hard Rock Performance) and “Spoonman” (Best Metal Performance).
The band continued to tour and release albums throughout the 1990s, but tensions between Cornell and the other members eventually led to their breakup in 1997. Soundgarden reunion in 2010, however, and they have since released a new album (King Animal) and embarked on several successful tours.
