re: is pearl Jam alt rock or grunge?

And lyrically they weren't singing/living about LA's 80's excess or cheesey ballads.

In the end it's all about getting women, but Seattle made you believe it wasn't. Hair Metal was ONLY about poon.

Seattle sound is the Alive riff and Cobains vocals. AND Staley/Cantrell harmony. Melt those three sounds together you have, Seattle music.

But to the OP again. Grunge is Alt Rock. It's THE sub genre of alt rock that made people come up with a term "alternative".

When really in the early 90's there was nothing that was "rock".

It was.....

1. Pop rock.

2. Guns and Roses or Metallica.

3. Alternative rock.

And alternative rock became everything not in 1 or 2. Can anyone name anybody else making music besides GNR?


Oops Metallica.

ETA I got 12 hours of "work" tomorrow. So I will be here all day to talk grunge.
