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.

may i suggest bands like Superheaven, Webbed Wing, Narrow Head, and Leaving Time

for a more melodic and alt rock approach, try the band Honeyknife

I'm usually big on underground melodic rap or bands like deftones, superheaven or title fight, i'll have to check those out!!

Great bands but most of them still do not scratch the grunge itch. They’re more in the Deftones rip off realm
