G: Grunge *90's Pop Culture Favorites* #AtoZchallenge

I may have come of age in the preppy 80's, but I was more than willing to jump off the overly-processed fashion train to embrace the grunge trend with worn jeans & cozy flannel---ironing optional. Thank you angsty Pacific Northwest bands who were too into your music to care about what you wore. Thank you.

Ah yes, grunge. I was definitely into the music more than the fashion. The worn & torn jeans were cool, and I had at least one pair of Chucks but I never wore boots or flannel (I always wore cardigans instead. still do.) so maybe I wasn't "grunge" as much as I just copied Kurt Cobain :D
Never into flannel, but I did dig the grunge music.

The grunge look amused me. I'm from the Pacific NW and we always dressed like that.
If flannel shirts, worn jeans, hiking boots are Grunge -- that's me -- if Stetsons are allowed that is. :-)
Didn't like the music or the style. Glad my children didn't embrace it either.

Look at all that fabulous grunge chic! I owned my fair share of flannel, too :)

Grunge didn't start until after we left the Seattle area. I had a friend who stayed there, and her daughter met all the members of the up and coming new bands, such as Nirvana. Ah, I always miss out.

Love,
Janie

I loved that baggy shirt and jeans stage. Why can't we go back to that? ;)

I still wear flannel -- it does a great job of keeping me warm when I'm out in snowy country and it's near zero degrees. And I still listen to a healthy dose of grunge.

kinda endured the 90s.

Is grunge like punk rock? But just a difference in era, maybe?

You know the father of grunge was Neil Young, though, right? Until he made that song. . .

It was the coolest thing to wear guy's flannel shirts. I wore my dad's clothes for awhile. That is pretty weird to me now. Later I wised up and went the girl-grunge route a-la Courtney Love with the babydoll dresses or little slip dresses. The 90s weren't all bad but grunge was almost like giving up. I'm glad we all saw the light!
