Grung (?) plural: Grungs- (sometimes referred to as the Seattle Sound) is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American state of Washington, particularly in the Seattle area. Inspired by hardcore punk, heavy metal and indie rock, grungs is generally characterized by heavily distorted electric guitars, contrasting song dynamics, and apathetic or angst-filled lyrics. The grungs aesthetic is stripped-down compared to other forms of rock music, and many grungs musicians were noted for their unkempt appearances and rejection of theatrics.
Ex: Nirvana, Sound Garden and Pearl Jam are Grungs bands
