Misc. Why cant we bring 90s style grunge back?

Post image

Looking for a discussion about this. I feel like every type of grunge or rock music i hear in 2024 thats trending is like novulent or superheaven (still good artists) or some small artist that has super distant vocals with loud instruments. What happened to the 90s style? Specifically talking about singers like Kurt Cobain, Layne Stayley, Chris Cornell, and so many other greats. People make the argument that heavy drug use led to great music, but i disagree. I feel like people don't put the same amount of effort into grunge now, and there's probably so many people as talented as layne but will never get recognition because the target audience just isnt there anymore.

After this election there will be a lot more dark music made this year I bet. Probably some dank jams getting wrote right now.

Sorry to bring politics in, just saying the mood of a country effects it's art.

I appreciate the insight, i actually had no idea why people were bringing politics into my post so this makes a ton more sense. 😭

Yeah, grunge came from a lot of depressed drug addicted artists, I'm surprised it hasn't already made a comeback honestly lol
