grunge was just a glimmer between punk and all the pearl jam wannabe/sound-alike bands out today. it was a great wave of music, but the bands that try to recreate it never will, because it was as much a time period as it was a sound. had grunge not caught on as well as it did, it may still be around but, unfortunately, it never really stood a chance after it was neatly packaged and sold. do any of you listen to green river, mudhoney, brad, bushpigh, the jesus lizard, the new strychnines, or monkeywrench... all great 'grunge' bands that were actually all around when it was happening.
