Artikel - GRUNGE IS DEAD...OR IS IT? (PART 1)


GRUNGE IS DEAD...OR IS IT? (Part 1)

Melalui perspektif aku sebagai peminat genre rock yang tegar...

Ahad lepas aku terbeli(?) dvd konsert Nirvana Live at Reading 1992, aku terpaksa la beli cetak rompak punya disebabkan kesukaran mendapatkan yang original di Bintulu ni dan duit aku pun cukup2 makan ajer haha.Selepas aku menonton dvd tersebut, aku recall balik pengalaman aku di era 90'an dahulu dikala aku masih berjinak2 dlm muzik rock, baru nak berjinak2 praktis jamming di studio & mula menjadi die-hard fan untuk band legenda Nirvana.

Nirvana bukan nama asing dalam persada seni muzik rock antarabangsa, ditubuhkan oleh Kurt Donald Cobain dan seterusnya merekrutkan bassist Kris Novoselic,tak lama kemudian Dave Grohl pula muncul.

Tapi di sini kita bukan mahu bercerita panjang mengenai Nirvana kerana asalnya tajuk karangan ini adalah mengenai muzik grunge.berikut merupakan info yang aku dapati melalui wikipedia mengenai definasi grunge:

Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound) is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American state of Washington, particularly in the Seattle area. Inspired by hardcore punk, heavy metal, and indie rock, grunge is generally characterized by heavily distorted electric guitars, contrasting song dynamics, and apathetic or angst-filled lyrics. The grunge aesthetic is stripped-down compared to other forms of rock music, and many grunge musicians were noted for their unkempt appearances and rejection of theatrics.

The early grunge movement coalesced around Seattle independent record label Sub Pop in the late 1980s. Grunge became commercially successful in the first half of the 1990s, due mainly to the release of Nirvana's Nevermind and Pearl Jam's Ten. The success of these bands boosted the popularity of alternative rock and made grunge the most popular form of hard rock music at the time.[1] However, many grunge bands were uncomfortable with this popularity. Although most grunge bands had disbanded or faded from view by the late 1990s, their influence continues to affect modern rock music.

Berikut merupakan senarai band2 grunge yang terawal mempelopori muzik ini di Seattle:

7 Year Bitch
Alice in Chains

Gruntruck

Wow! Itu baru pengenalan sahaja kawan2 ku sekalian, mungkin esok lusa aku akan update lagi tentang isu ini.Aku akhiri bahagian pertama ini dengan kata2 hikmah Kurt Cobain "Peace,Love,Empathy"
