Green River, U-Men, Gas Huffer, Skin Yard, TAD…..so many great bands and too many to name. Of course everyone remembers the big 4, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam and Nirvana. But they weren’t what defined the scene. Maybe the early releases, but the mainstream albums hit for a reason. I still like it all though.

I’m that weird guy that still buys cassette tapes from Sub Pop haha.

If you get a chance and want to dive into it, then book by Mark Yarm (no relation to Mark Arm lol) called “Everyone loves our town, the oral history of grunge” is super wild. The guy basically interviewed everyone from the U-Men to producers and managers.

Don't hate me, but I never really liked grunge except for some of Pearl Jam. I do know a lot of people that love it, I'll pass the book info on.

No hate here! Music is super subjective. And that era of punk is…….somewhat an acquired taste haha.

Do you follow any of the Seattle communities here? It'd be nice to see one start getting more active.

[–] sparky1337@ttrpg.network 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately not! I’m nowhere near as active here as I was on Reddit. Also, I haven’t really looked either! If there’s one I can latch onto, I can certainly pump some info every now and again.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !seattle@lemmy.world
