April 4, 20188 yr There certainly are plenty of songs in the grunge genre that aren't necessarily intended to be about the most positive of topics...but that's because in most ways the genre is a response to the music of the 80's age of excess. The big-hair music of the 80s and its flashy rockers, the 80s new wave and its artsy, produced synth/electronic sounds...in a lot of ways grunge rock was a counter-cultural response from the music community. Musical counter-culture is much of what has driven the change of sound in the 20th and 21st centuries. In the early 1920s/30s/40s you saw big band jazz and crooning that was responded to with the converse sound of the blues - which even by its own namesake is not exactly intended to be the most uplifting of music. Still, even though the sound may be called grunge, there are still songs that come off more as anthems than as downers...like Pearl Jam's " " and Smashing Pumpkins' " ". To each his own. And I’ve not been impressed wth the direction of music in the 21st century. With 2 boys in the early 20’s I’ve sufferered thru their rap and what ever else they listen to. I understand my folks hated what I got into. Just goes to show, I’m getting old.
