Grunge Pop

Grunge pop is a subgenre of alternative rock that intertwines the abrasive, gritty musical elements typical of grunge music with the catchy hooks and melodic sensibilities of pop. Stemming from the early 1990s and gaining prominence in parallel with the raw sounds of Seattle's grunge explosion, grunge pop artists often showcase distorted guitar riffs, a powerful, driving rhythm section, and introspective, often angst-filled lyrics delivered with a potent vocal style. Despite its roots in the heavier, more dissonant grunge aesthetic, grunge pop distinguishes itself with more accessible, radio-friendly structures and choruses that emphasize melody over dissonance, aiming to strike a balance that resonates with a wider audience while retaining a certain level of grittiness and emotional depth.
