The grunge movement

During the 1980’s the grunge movement was introduced in Seattle. Suddenly, the punk rock and heavy metal scene mixed. Although a lot of small bands existed only some became famous. However, the punk movement also introduced a new way of lifestyle. This new generation wanted to rebel against their environment. They believe that society is trying to limit their freedom and control them. The grunge scene is fighting against this control of freedom by listening to loud and provocational music. In addition, they are trying to rebel with their looks by coloring their hair and wearing spikes and old jeans. In the beginning their rebellion was successful as many people felt rejected by this new lifestyle. However, as soon as the first band, Nirvana, got successful with the music, the rebellion was once again sold through media.
