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 . . . .
