Why Grunge Was The Darkest Era In Music

[@reaIIifebootbaby]

Bro, continue to create the eery biographies. As someone only born 12/23/1998 I never got to experience the great 90’s. You make it feel like you’re there in Seattle watching the rain fall.

Heroin was the epidemic that destroyed the music scene. Heroin is the devil incarnate. When I think of Seattle I think of rain, depression, heroin and serial killers.

[@peacetheory5544]

I was about 12-13 at the time grunge was getting big. I was super depressed. I had close family getting into drugs at that time, I felt isolated and alone, and it just seemed like there was a blanket of darkness over the world. But-I got over it…sober.

[@NCSUME1]

Don't forget Mike Starr. Nice production and video with mild inaccuracies, but overall well done. The genesis of this scene really was in the 80s, the world didn't figure it out until the 90s (e.g. Soundgarden had 3 recordings by '88 - Screaming Life, FOPP and Ultramega OK)

Another Alice In Chains album that had a lot of drug references was "Dirt". The song, "Down in a Hole" is definitely about addiction, and obviously "God Smack" is too. I know that pain all too well. The last time I shot up was over four years ago, but this past summer just wrecked me, and I'm still so devastated that lately I've been thinking about relapsing. At least the delusion that I can use once in a while is gone, and I know that if I do relapse, that I won't get clean again. I know that the first hit after so long of abstinence would feel amazing, but also that's when I'm the most vulnerable to overdose. It's just really tough sometimes.

[@freeman4real]

@RickFlanagan Bro Pantera, Slipknot Korn & Godsmack are my shit I like them seen all of them at least twice before BUT they were not half as big as Nirvana so i dunno how they stepped on anything if anything they kinda took what Metallica did and made it their own. And the same could be said for music that you cannot even understand what the singer is saying at all because they are just screaming and hollering to play devil's advocate. I liked grunge because I suffer from depression and I feel like I related to Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden plus they didnt wear thier sisters clothes and make up with a perm! Green day, The offspring & Weezer kinda changed it and made it their own and that's fine. But it's sad rock music doesnt really have anyone right now. It's either scream and mosh which doesn't appeal to alot of people or super soft no middle ground. People like what they like you might not and that's fine but u dont gotta try to shit on what someone else's likes because you feel its depressing because they might feel what you like is shit. I like all types of music aside from country but YES grunge and Motown are my favorites and that's just what it is...

[@freeman4real]

@RickFlanagan I digg it. I think Layne just gave up. I personally was a heroin addict for some time and what I found was I was running from pain and mental illness and when I stopped using I had to deal with everything anyway plus a entire set of new problems. I also think that's why I connect with that music because it sounded like how I felt like a soundtrack to my life type of shit. I have seen OZZY twice, godsmack four times, drowning pool 3 times they were actually great live, korn a bunch, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains together, Judas priest, motley crue, papa roach twice, slipknot, and the list goes on. I'm not into Pearl Jam personally but my son who is 16 now even tho I'm 32 is into Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Piolts and he likes Pearl Jam which is ok but I also turned him onto Nas, Wu tang and Tupac as well so he is well versed for a kid. Music is like a time machine for me I hear a song and can remember exactly what I went thru with the music. I didnt really like 80's rock like the "glam rock" and I felt the 90's music was better but it had its downfalls too with N'sync, backstreet boys, etc....

You had a few mistakes, but pretty good overall! 2 things I noticed are that you said Demri was Layne's ex girlfriend, when in fact they were still together when she died; and that you gave the members of Screaming Trees as examples of people who survived- when in fact 3 of them (Mark Lanegan, Van Conner and Sean Hollecomb) died within the last 18 months.

[@rockrealmm]

Layne and Demri were not together at the time of her death. Demri was dating an older man who was with her when she passed out, he then took her to the hospital where she died. Screaming Tree’s members survived Seattle. Yes they died but they survived the Grunge era.

[@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaid]

@@rockrealmm I'll take the word of the band members themselves over what some random guy on KZbin says- and they said on multiple occasions that Demri and Layne were still together at the time of her death (as did other credible sources)- so unless you've got some credible sources that prove otherwise, I'm going to believe this version. And you're saying that the members of Screaming Trees survived Seattle, as if the others died from living in that city... it's not like there was some big earthquake that killed everyone because they lived there. Not to mention that their drug use damaged their body and their immune system (for Lanegan, at least, he said so himself)- so their illness induced deaths can actually be partially attributed to their drug use that made their illnesses worse. It's not even far fetched to assume that since prolonged drug use is known to damage the body's durability, and it's not that common for people to die from such illnesses in their 50s. Also- I said you had a great video. I was complimenting you, not trying to bring you down. You need to learn how to accept it when you make a mistake, because doubling down on a mistake like that is not a good look.

Grunge was miserable music made by miserable people, and a scourge on the pop music scene. Growing up in the 1980s, with so much clean, positive and upbeat music to choose from, I detested the awful, inescapable grunge music of my college years. The world would be a better place had grunge never been made. Another commenter referenced the rejection of Christianity prevalent in the Seattle music scene. Well, you reap what you sow. There's the fruit of the vine: Depression, drug abuse, divorce, general misery, ugliness, and so on. Sadly, another commenter was also right: Grunge left a stain on the pop/rock music scene, the effects of which it still suffers. Grunge was indeed a dark era. Those who don't see this have never seen the light. Good riddance, grunge.

Great commentary! As I listened to you, it occurred to me that the reason I dislike grunge is that it’s heroin music, as opposed to classic rock and glam rock, which are cocaine music. Heroin makes you sleepy, depressed and homeless, while coke makes you feel alert, energetic and sexy. So if you want to be depressed and angry and self-pitying, you should listen to grunge. Everyone loves a depressed, angry person, right? But if you want to be energetic, positive, motivated…. You need rock music! I’m just glad I didn’t have to go through high school as a fan of grunge music. Teenagers are already prone to being anxious, depressed, and feeling sorry for themselves. The last thing they need is music that feeds those negative feelings. It’s okay to listen to something like that for an evening and have yourself a good cry or scream, but listening to it daily would almost certainly have a detrimental effect on your mental health. People don’t seem to realize that music can affect your mood in a major way. I wish someone would do serious research on it, so people would be more careful about what they expose themselves to. In fact, having to play that depressing music night after night probably drove those musicians to use heroin, which killed them or made them suicidal.

The ‘Nam-war-era tune-in-drop-out acid-rocker hippie heads of the Haight/Ashbury ~ Laurel Canyon ~ Woodstock-adjacent ‘peace, love & tie-die’ scene saw the sudden demise of a huge number of its most inspirational scene- shapers and luminaries also. Janis, Jimi, Jim Morrison, Pig Pen of the Grateful Dead, Gram Parsons.. and you could include the Mason Family, with all the carnage they wrought on our collective psyche - Charlie, at least, had ties to the hippie-rocker scene before he went full death cult false-messiah mode. His resentments stemming from those pre-cult rocknroll days, when he used to play music with Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys, were a main motivating factor leading him to command the heater/shelter bloodbath for which he became forever infamous. And speaking of Brian Wilson and casualties of the flower power scene, we could tag on a whole sub-category of people who didn’t die outright, but got swept away down the deep-fried perma-grin neverland rabbit hole of LSD - too much too fast - and who never quite found their minds again. This would include such notables as the aforementioned head of The Beach Boys, and of course, Sid Barrett. I’d be willing to wager that the hippie-freak ‘60’s/70’s California scene had about the same percentage of sudden deaths in their prime, as did Grunge Seattle.. but the aesthetic of the former is so bright, optimistic and flowery - where-as, Grunge is just the opposite.. and as a result, all the deaths that struck the hippie scene are kind of taken in stride, rather than serving to define our impression of the era. But the converse-and-flannel scene 2 decades later expressed a massive pre-occupation with the heavy, morbid side of life from the get-go, so when tragedy befell some of its top voices (as tragedy is wont to do in literally every social scene on the planet..) it matches so coherently with the overall vibe of the movement, leading to a natural tendency to latch onto to the mortality-events that occurred while it was in vogue, and make them a bigger part of the mythos of the movement.
