THE RETURN OF 90S GRUNGE STYLE

The 1990s grunge or alternative rock movement was the music of my generation. It is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged during the 1990s in the American state of Washington. The aesthetic is stripped-down compared to other forms of rock music, and many grunge musicians were noted for their unkempt appearances and rejection of theatrics. Inspired by hardcore punk, heavy metal, indie rock, and noise rock, grunge is generally characterized by heavily distorted electric guitars, contrasting song dynamics, and apathetic or angst-filled lyrics.

Everyone knows that music and fashion have a major impact in redefining every generation. If you were a teen in the 90s like me, for sure you were a member of a grunge/alternative rock movement and helped catapult Kurt Cobain in godlike status (the lead singer of Nirvana, was an inspiration for the grunge look that made its entrance into mainstream fashion in the early 1990s.) You adore Brenda (Shannen Doherty) and never missed an episode of Beverly Hills 90210. You at least owned a flannel shirt and a pair of Doc Martens boots or what we called back then as DM's. During the 90s the music scene began to apply the "anything goes" fashion approach, any teen or even kid of that era will remember the influence of grunge.

While were reminiscing about the 1990s, style bloggers all over the net have already revived the 90s look with a massive shot of sex and glamour. Trendsetters and style innovators everywhere have been rocking everything from faded denim to chunky work boots. Undeniably,  the iconic grunge style of the 1990s is back with a vengeance!

Nineties nostalgia is booming, so just lie back and enjoy the ride. Learn to celebrate the past by representing pieces of our lives that meant something to us & focusing less on the unattractive aspects that occurred. It is therefore crucial that old mistakes are not revisited and old prejudices rekindled. Oh yes! Just like style and fashion of the 1990s it should always be remembered with equal measures of nostalgic joy and embarrassment.
