Yeah, I think that grunge music, college rock, and older "alternative rock" like Dinosaur Jr. will make a big comeback c. 2011 and the fashion will come back with it.

Grunge wouldn't be a big deal because it has no 'dragon' so to speak, to conquer. No great stagnating mass like 'Hair-metal' to totally destroy. I think a grunge revival wouldn't make an impact because the music today is too 'hip' and 'cool' in comparison.

Grunge music sucked. It always did, and it always will. No offense to anyone who likes it .. it just was never my cup of tea. IT was just loud noise

Grunge was alright. It had a few good songs here and there. I like a few songs but I always prefered classic rock and 80's rock.

Nirvana were amazing, but Pearl Jam is just sludge to me. I actually think a grunge style/ethos revival, or the ethos of '90s hipsters (very slackerish, relaxed, chill) will come back in the early '10s and be a big, big deal, and wipe away the stagnant hipster rock and glam rap. Revivals can be fairly selective, though. Like something about the early '80s new wave that's popular now fits the "futuristic", highly designed feel of the '00s.

I wonder if that's why new wave is back, because their fantasties about the future proved true in some ways.

I would like Grunge to come back, but I'm not too keen on it. After all, it'll be big for a few years, but it would eventually become commercialized. What do we get out of that? Well, after a few years of possibly great music, we'd get stuck with Post-Grunge (AGAIN!) and we would eventually be consumed by another crapfest of music. Let's face it, Grunge is partially responsible for the crappy Nu-Metal and Emo bands. If Grunge becomes popular again, we just run the chance of repeating history and eventually declining into yet another crapfest of music in the 2020's.
I'd like Grunge to come back, but I'd prefer it if something influenced by Grunge, but completely new at the same time, became popular. Kind of like how Punk influenced Grunge, but Grunge brought completely new things to the table at the same time. We should be trying to create completely new types of music, not endlessly copying the music of the past.

I was actually hoping for the neo-wave bands to break out big. Seems like all it really is is a part of Emo, though.

I agree that Pearl Jam Sucks. BUT, there is one exception, their Song called "Alive" is Awesome. But pretty much every other song from them is Horrible
Kurt Cobain once went up to Eddie Veder and told him that he thought Pearl Jam Sucked ;D

Pearl Jam was amazing. Eddie Vedder's voice is so powerful and enigmatic........I could listen to him sing for hours.

Now that does surprise me I would not have called them that by any means.

he actually apologised later because he didn't want to offend Vedder.
He realised just how talented he was (is) and at one point he even admitted being jealous of him for being able to write such great lyrics.

You can't possibly be serious? I've always thought that "pearl Jam" were the Worst Lyrical Rock Group ever! Just listen to the song "Alive" and tell me those aren't pathetic lyrics. Sounds like they thought of a great 2 minute guitar solo and needed a song to build around it, so they just used filler material for the song just so they could get to the guitar solo ;D
I mean, check out these lyrics
Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin

Alive is their most overrated song IMO and I agree the lyrics are not special but there are so many other amazing Pearl Jam songs that aren't popular.
But if you look at Nirvana lyrics..it's usually full of contradictions,Cobain even said when they recorded their songs he had to improvise because he didn't really have any lyrics.
Sorry but Vedder's lyrics are way better than Cobain's.

Kurt Cobain actually said that his lyrics really don't have any meaning at all. He just made them up and thought they sounded good. Also, in my opinion, Pearl Jam is the best Grunge band, closely followed by Soundgarden. Nirvana's a great band (I own all their studio albums as well as Unplugged), but they're overrated. Ironically enough, people assume that Nirvana was the most popular band of the early 90's despite the fact that Pearl Jam sold more albums. Also, in 1992, Kurt Cobain himself said Guns N Roses were "sadly the most popular band in the world." This was around the time November Rain came out.
The funny thing is that Kurt Cobain called Pearl Jam a "commercialized version of Alternative" (he never used the term Grunge except in a negative manner) when two of the members of Pearl Jam were in Green River, which is agreed upon by critics as the first real Grunge band (just barely though, as Soundgarden and the Melvins were formed soon afterward).

I actually hope the "grunge trend" never comes back, I mean it just belongs to the 90s...any band of the 00s claiming to be grunge..No that just doesn't work out,it would just be a poor imitation made to be listened by the masses.

This is the "future" of our music listening experience...why the hell do we need to refurbish grunge now or in the next recycling decade? Grunge belongs with the fishes....or even http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/15/spam1.gif
