It's funny to listen back to nevermind that was considered "grunge" at the time, yet to me now it seems so polished. What say you, hutch?
Grunge was a scene, an aesthetic, an attitude. Seattle. Flannel shirt, decomposing jeans, long hair. Heroin (idealism mixed with nihilism and hopelessness) and underlying heaviness.
Musically Nevermind was something else entirely. Besides being polished the songs take off like a jet. . .nothing grungy about that. The grunge was in the attitude, the lyrics, the compulsion to let the jet crash . . . .
