Grunge music is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged in the mid-1980s. Grunge bands were influenced by punk rock and heavy metal, and many grunge bands featured elements of those genres. Grunge music often has a dark, bleak, or gloomy sound, and lyrics are often about depression, angst, or alienation. Some grunge bands achieved mainstream success, and the genre became one of the most popular forms of alternative rock in the 1990s.

The term “grunge” was first used in print in 1981, when Seattle music journalist Chuck Panic used it to describe the music of local band Green River. By the early 1990s, grunge had become a mainstream genre, with bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains achieving commercial success. The popularity of grunge music declined in the late 1990s, but many grunge bands continue to tour and release new albums.

The term “grunge” was first used to describe the Seattle music scene by music journalist Mark Arm in the May 1981 issue of Seattle fanzine Desperate Times.
