In 1991 music changed forever. Three misfits from Aberdeen, Washington unleashed āSmells Like Teen Spiritā onto the world and alternative rock became the mainstream. Grunge wasnāt so much a genre as a close knit selection of bands that came from the same approximate area, its epicentre being Seattle. The Sabbathy-doom of Soundgarden sounded little like the Garage Rock bluster of Mudhoney. But at the same time they were all tied together with a sense of exi-stential angst, unhurried tempos and dirty, sludgy, grungy audio qualities. But what was this scene? What were the essential steps along the way, the key tracks and influencers? And how did it get to the point where Nirvana could dethrone Guns Nā Roses as Americaās biggest rock band. This is the journey to Nevermind: how Grunge became Grunge.

It was a magical time to be a music fan living in Seattle. I was there and I can't help but feel like I won my generation's musical lottery.

It would be interesting if you made a sister video called āafter grungeā and how a lot of these bands formed or took a different direction after Kurts suicide, talking more about Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, etc.

It's incredibly sad, and tragic, that so many talented people have died from this relatively small scene. I am just glad they got to share their gifts with us all before they passed. They will live on forever.

It's required genius touch to make a combination of Yardbirds with Stooges and record ultimate Seattle anthem "Touch me I'm sick" .Thank You Mark

This is a master thesis on grunge. Very informative.

I feel like Soundgarden is that big brother archetype that nobody really talks about, but was always the best

Finished college in 1990. The early 90s were fantastic for exploring music and life in general. I had a blast.

my favorite aspect about Kurt Cobain most people ignore, or don't know much about, is that the success of Nirvanaāboth sonically and lyricallyācan be owed to the fact that he was the biggest student in the John Lennon School of Pop Writing...I loved that he was smart and capable enough to combine that with all of his other influences (and Krist and Dave's) to create some of the best/most enduring music to ever be put on tape; just incredible!

Bam Bam are a real discovery here. What a shame they were not able to put out a 45 or LP.

Thatās the first time Iāve heard āAliveā compared to āFree Birdā and Iām perfectly okay with it.

Not only was I in Seattle from 1985 until 2004 but, I moved there from Grays Harbor. HOQUIAM/ABERDEEN. I was fortunate to be both places at the right time. I also worked within the Music Industry. I saw some incredible shows by some incredible Bands. Going to shows was a part of my job. I cherish this time in my life and know how lucky I was. To me, it's still The Seattle Scene. The Grunge word was a joke to most of us.

Pixies original line up and first album, Surfa Rosa, are underrated and understated in their influence on Nevermind, Kurt said that at all the band listened to while to was Surfa Rosa and their friends, Sonic Youth's Music for weeks and months on tour, Grohl had joined and they did their last tour before recording 'Nevermind', he's on record as saying"Do you think we can release a Pixies song?" To Kurt and Chris. I'm not trying to get anyone to acknowledge anything about anyone, but if you haven't had a listen, Pixies "Come on Pilgrim"' "Surfa Rosa", and "Dolittle", do yourself a favour, the next two albums are good, 'Bossanova' and 'Trompe le Monde' are strong albums for '90 and '91!

I've never thought of About a Girl being "Beatles-esque", but now that you mention it, I can totally imagine how a Beatles version might sound.

I remember seeing Guns'n'Roses in 91, some band I never heard of was opening. It was Soundgarden. They were amazing and made Guns'n'Roses look like a artifacts from the past. I never turned back after that, it was a new age of rock for me.

I love that you mentioned John Peel; a legendary British DJ and promoter, who's personal favorites included, from one end of the spectrum to the other, Sheena Easton's Morning Train, to Teenage Kicks by The Undertones. Still loved and remembered by many; RIP John Peel.

I saw Nirvana play a gig in a music store. Two weeks later, they were HUGE. Before that, if I heard the word āgrungeā it meant the sound and attitude of Mudhoney more than anything.

People underestimate the diversity of influences and how these bands (Nirvana, Hole, the Pixies etc) were honest to god music fans and of music that transcended genres. Kurt and Courtney loved Tracey Thornās Marine Girls (early 80s), a rather obscure DIY post punk band from the backwaters of the UK. Most of the people in these bands were in it for the music, the politics, the DIY energy, the connection with other musicians.

I never forget the sheer awe, when I first saw Soundgarden's Hands All Over on Headbangers Ball, somewhere around 1990.
Then came AIC and PJ. My life changed. AIC is still my all time fav.

amazed whenever talking about Grunge or rock and roll in general nobody ever mentions The Fabulous Wailers, the first band to ever cover Louie Louie (which inspired The Kingsmen to do their own version,) pioneered garage rock, self-released their own records, and inspired The Sonics to form (which in return inspired dozens of other bands,) Jimi Hendrix would practice their songs when learning how to play, etc
probably the most influential band nobody knows about
