re: New conspiracy theory. Was grunge put together the same as boy bands in the 90's?

I was referring specifically to RHCP’s sound on Blood Sugar Sex Magic (which was actually released on the same day as Nirvana’s Nevermind and Soundgarden’s Badmotorgfinger).
You’re right in that they’re predominantly funk metal throughout their career, but the singles Under the Bridge and Breaking The Girl have stylistic overlap with grunge...hence them getting lumped in with the Seattle scene at the same time it was breaking.

I can see that 
grunge is weird in that it was such a big thing, but it really wasnt a thing at all
just packaging of post punk garage rock bands from the PNW in a massive PR campaign
I always laugh when grohl talks about his time in nirvana as “disco drumming as loud as I can play” because its true

Lollapalooza got them lumped. They toured with those acts as they were blowing up nationally. They were played on the same stations.
As already mentioned. The first few bands formed pretty organically. Then yes record companies stepped in and threw flannel on everything and Doc Martens. Many did start out as hair metal bands. These guys are older than most of the guys posting in this thread. I assume. They are all in their 50’s. Or would be if they lived. Their first groups they dabbled in were more metal and older punk. They later grew into their sounds. Tunings, amps, effects, writing. It all became dark and brooding more than screwing girls.
It was a great time to be alive for your ears. Your eyes? Not so much. Not nearly the number of hot groupies. Or women dressed like sluts.
