Talk:Grunge

College rock

Can someone verify that a stylistic origin of grunge is college rock? Roscoe the Horse (talk) 07:15, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Should We choose a new Main image?

if you showed a person who has never seen/listened grunge music before and show them this image, they would think its a 2000s ska punk genre. Some suggestions for me is any frame from the American Idiot (song) music video, or an image of Foo Fighters drummer Dave Grohl. I don't like the image at the top of this article, same goes for Nirvana (band) and Kurt Cobain. Hous9onhishead (talk) 05:47, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

I...what? First of all we can't do the Green Day song for copyright reasons but they're on an entirely different planet than grunge. Are you implying either of these would represent grunge better than Nirvana? I'm sorry, but are you sure you know what grunge is? mftp dan ^oops 05:52, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

I'm not saying that Nirvana isn't a good face of grunge, that image in particular just dosent look grunge like. I understand the Green Day argument, but i think it would be better if we did a better image of Nirvana or any other band, it would be healthy. Hous9onhishead (talk) 09:38, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Tell me then, since this image apparently doesn't represent grunge well, what is your idea of what grunge does look like? mftp dan ^oops 18:11, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

I disagree. Nirvana is undoubtedly one of the major bands that come to mind when thinking of the grunge genre (I say this while listening to Heart-Shaped Box). Defiantly can't do a frame from a music video, as that's a copyright vio. If your problem with the picture being just of Kurt, then how does a picture of just Dave Grohl improve the article? ☩ ^{(Babysharkboss2)} 18:14, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Again, Nirvana is a good face of grunge, but that image in particular of them isn't very good. Its a little blurry, you can only see two members of the band, and they look like a ska punk, yacht rock band from that angle. A different image of nirvana would be better, but not that one.

No, really, they don't look like a Ska punk or yacht rock band. I doubt you're going to find anyone who agrees. We're not trying to gaslight you, and I'm not sure how to say this politely, but you sound like you don't know what you're talking about. If you read the Clothing and fashion section, Kurt's actually a pretty good representative of what grunge looks like in this shot. mftp dan ^oops 17:29, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

I think that it is a pretty safe conclusion that "Hous9onhishead" has no idea what they are talking about. CAVincent (talk) 01:51, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

Calling a spade a spade isn't offensive. ☩ ^{(Babysharkboss2)} 14:46, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

No offense intended, but anyone who thinks "American Idiot" is grunge should probably not be making substantive edits to this article. CAVincent (talk) 05:22, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
