Grunge Music so far
I have learned alot about Grunge music so far since studying it and I found that one of the most significant things about it was that it was not as much about how people loved the music of Grunge but that it was used to make money by businesses such as MTV so the lifestyle was advertised. Just because of Grunge Seattle was able to up the prices of flanel shirts to $40 because everyone wanted to wear grunge like shirts and ripped jeans. I also learned that most people who became Grunge music stars all came through the same record company sub pop records because that was one of the only Grunge record companies.

I think it's interesting that grunge music was used to make money for MTV. I usually associate rap or hiphop with MTV, not grunge music. I also think that's funny that grunge seattle made 'grunge' clothes so much more expensive because it seems like the whole point of grunge is to not spend a lot of money.
ReplyDeleteMan it sucks to see that the music wasn't spread with passion, but spread for profit. That seems like a downswing in moral to find that grunge is just an image used to make money. Its odd how research can reveal the dark underside of something once loved.
