Answer:
Grunge was a musical style of the early to mid 90s. It was generally played on electric guitars and took influences from rock, metal and punk. Aesthetically, it was the antithesis of the 'rock star' mentality so prevalent in the 80s and rejected fancy clothes, preferring to appear scruffy and down-and-out. Some leading bands were Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.
