Check out the song "My Pal" by the Australian band GOD. It came out in 1988. They invented grunge and nobody knew it.

I'm not saying they invented grunge, but I wish we'd hear about Bundle of Hiss more often. TAD, too.

Music Labels, and "Music Journalists", "create" genres. Musicians just do their thing, without worrying about what it's called.

Well to be honest I think the award should go to Nixon and Reagan era legislation and policies. If it wasn't for those two men ripping the economic guts out of your country through the legislate you wouldn't have the poverty and disconnect grunge was born in.

I don’t care about the originators of grunge I just wish people understood that post grunge began when Nevermind was released. Alice in Chain, Pearl Jam, and STP were not Grunge bands! They were post grunge which means they were hair metal bands with extra steps!
