Heavily distorted electric Guitars, dissonant harmonies. Grunge musicians were noted for their unkempt appearances and rejection of theatrics, complex instrumentation. Incorporates themes such as social alienation, apathy, confinement, and a desire for freedom. Basically disenchanted with the crap that has become society. Also grunge bands were uncomfortable with popularity.
"Grunge concerts were known for being straightforward, high-energy performances. Grunge bands rejected the complex and high budget presentations of many musical genres, including the use of complex light arrays, pyrotechnics, and other visual effects unrelated to playing the music." You see they are there to rock and for music not to draw attention to themselves or their hair or fancy lights. This is what I believe music should be about. When you make the music about itself, it benefits others and gives them an experience that they will remember forever.
One amazing concert or musical gathering can change the world. Take Woodstock for example. Grunge musicians come to play music and they come as they are which is what I believe you should do when playing music. When you go to a rock concert or go to practice an instrument, does the teacher say to you or does your music book say, "Did you brush your teeth, wash your hair, trim your nails? NO it does not.
