I was a Grunge teenager in the 90’s (in the uk) I got bullied at school because of how I dressed. Then the high street shops started stocking Grunge inspired clothes and all the girls who bullied me were now wearing Grunge. So many music movements end up being popular high street fashion. I still predominantly have a grudge style now in my 40’s

I like how you include the history and the impact on culture

Oh and yes PLEASE do a video on fairycore grunge and even twlilightcore I think that would be so cool! ModernGurlz did an excellent video on twilightcore that I think you would love!!!!

This is such a good analysis. No one ever mentions green river in grunge analysis! They were the first grunge band.

I got really involved in this one, taking notes and thinking of analogs in art and intellectual history and I thought I had what Grunge was nailed but near the end I wasn't sure. This was a hard subject for me, anti-fashion fashion, a dialectic.We all know what the Grunge "look" is, we know it when we see it. Punk: get the hell out of here with Punk. Punk isn't even on the same end of the spectrum as Grunge. For the same reason I didn't take to the Pale Grunge and Fairy Grunge. How dare they appropriate the name! Those are CLEARLY intentional fashion. I don't know what I would have thought of Pale and Fairy if it didn't misappropriate Grunge. Now, you could argue that after Nirvana realized that not making a statement was becoming a statement that they should have changed. But then that would be intentional, the opposite of Grunge. So, all of these dialectics: grunge=scum becomes chic; ripped jeans cuz I'm poor man, to deliberately ripped jeans. I'm sorry, that's pathetic. You cleared this confusion up for me when you said near the end that Grunge was all about "authenticity." That reconciled all of the contradictions to my satisfaction. Can you tell I liked this vlog? :) I really, REALLY did.

I really appreciate the acknowledgment of how characaturized certain elements of alternative styles have become (ex. Wednesday Addams dresses, leather jackets becoming mainstream, EXPENSIVE boots/platforms, etc.). I think that alternative styles becoming more mainstream is kinda frustrating but NOT completely problematic UNLESS the subversiveness and roots in poverty are ignored.

I grew up listening to grunge music, and have been dressing grunge since I was small. Kinda helps that all my clothes were hand me downs lol. Still dress grunge today. Baggy clothes be mah favourite things, Always so comfy and easy to move in :)

love this!!! I dress grunge-ish ever since 2013 and honestly it's one of the coolest aesthetics we had so far in the 21st century! it needs to make a comeback!!!

I loved that you mentioned/acknowledged Tina Bell yesss

Just listened to bambam ground zero. I can see why kurt liked them

I'm here for the kinderwh0re love

please do fairy grudge analysis~!! thanky you~~

you seem like such a pleasant and fun person, this video was really cool to watch !!

Grunge is probably the easiest to dress up as for a costume

I’m not sure if that’s entirely what androgynous means? For when you said androgynous looks consist of men wearing dressing and women wearing baggier men’s clothing. To be androgynous in fashion is to not present in a particularly feminine or masculine way :) but I totally get what you’re trying to say, and I love that grunge has that aspect too!!! Love ur videos so so much as well as the effort and research that goes into them

I wish I could have grown up during the grunge era except I was only just born lol

Please do a Fairycore video!! Your video essays are always so interesting and in depth xx

you can do a video where you speed run thru substyles like fairy grunge and ofc more. love the video as always

the line that you put in that punk is the holden caufield of musics GOT ME

This video is very helpful for me as a character designer as I have a character from the 90s.

This was sooo good!! I agree with the others, a fairycore video (especially for the spring equinox!) would be so sweet 🧚‍♀️💗

you make great analysis and videos, such good quality, you deserve more recognition gorl!! you should def do more of this fashion analysis and the fairycore it's also very interesting! 🖤

Nice Vid Dion :) Looking forward to the next one :)

Grunge style is essentially 'I don't care for style' style. Colorful Emos.

This is awesommeeee

Good video I think fairy core is lovely. Would love to see you do a video about it.

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Great video, great research, great work. I subsbscribed❤

I really loved your analysis videos! and yessss to fairygrunge! I am so into it lately but I find how people style it is very much limited to green colors only. I think fairy grunge is about this magical + grunge attitude rather than the color itself.

Very, very good vivacious presentation!

Elder millenial here lol. Back in the day me and my friends used to joke it was a cross between hippie and punk lol. That might sound weird to folks nowadays, but there is a shared look and influence from both. Dressing like this wasn't just freeing to us a baby dŷkes (thank you for bringing this up), it also is a "look" unbound by a specific scene. Me and my friends listened to metal and goth music too and all kinds of music tbh. And that's kinda the thing about "grunge" as a look: it's aesthetically WHATEVER.

Oh you should do a video on princesscore

In 2014, I was in my grunge tumblr era. Now I’m falling back into it lol❤😂

I love the Style Analysis videos! :D What do you think do a video of Kawaii style or Lolita style? 👀

Nice name, never heard of a girl spelling 'Dion' that way before

21st century proper historian right here

This video deserves to be way up there, was searching about grunge fashion and I had scroll way down til I got this video. Gotta say love everything about what you talked about here. Big ups sister!

i think it's important to remember that grunge aesthetic was just what they already wore. and i think that's why it's still popular. it was just clothes and not a costume. it was distraught because they couldn't afford new. that fairy grunge just look like a renfaire costume. also water is the enemy of grunge don't wash your clothes and don't wash yourself

I love androgynous fashion including grunge

กรันจ์เป็นอย่างที่ฉันคิดมาตลอด ฉันกังวลในสิ่งที่มีมากเกเินไป

Question: I don’t really listen to nirvana or those bands but, I really like the aesthetic and don’t want to get bullied because I don’t listen to that music, I listen to more indie music and alternative rock bands like Lemon Demon, Tally Hall, and Jack Stauber. Can I still be grunge/egirl?

Love this

i never saw black sabbath with lipstick. good video but that was wrong

So my sister was 16 like in 2013 and when emo kind of died and twilight and tumblr was rising I could really see that the new grunge was kind of goth lots of hair dye and then it kind of came back in 2020 as alt with more hello kitty and emo but not so emo yet i think that grunge died but it wake up

Styles like grunge always ends when corporate America starts selling grunge wear at jc Penny's or Macy's they syarted selling way over priced cut up jeans and flannels and becomes uncool.I remember they were asking kurt cobain about his fashion style when he wear sweatrs flannels and layers cause he was skinny and always cold in Seattle but he was so embarresed to be asked the question and its when he started to hate the word grunge

Who still uses CDs?

More Elena Gilbert asthetic plz

Now name 5 pearl jam songs (jk, I could only name 3 without confusing them with soundgarden, hahaha (they're not so similar, but I tend to confuse them))

This is why I love learning about different subcultures and rock and roll history I never heard of this woman but I will be doing my research black people I'm not saying we started any punk rock music but we are punk rock and grunge without even trying we created rock music there is a long history of black people in rock and roll please do your research if you are curious also there are multiple different people different racial backgrounds that love or have somewhat been influenced in the rock music based subcultures like punk rock and grunge also there needs to be talked about more about racial diversity in different subcultures and in rock music

Name 5…….. I’m waiting…

Love how emphasized and included that ANYONE can wear grunge! I've sometimes heard people think that grunge is only masculine which is not true at all

Those “grunge” fashion examples look to me more like goth or punk? I guess grunge is a spin off of punk but like Kurt Cobain for example didn’t really dress “grunge” ? Was he like an outlier? Because most of his fashion seems to me very much a mix of him being insecure with himself and also a bit of laziness. And ironically his fashion was like an expression of himself. Didn’t feel like he tried to go for any particular style even though he’s always the poster child for grunge. The other ppl I see being referred to as “grunge” style look more goth/alternative. And it seems more deliberate not effortlessly just their style. So I guess the whole “grunge” scenes philosophy went out the windows the moment it became popular because now it’s just like any other clothing style and “cliquey” group mentality that grunge was supposed to be against. Once things become popular they are no longer authentic

Name 3 songs 🙄

lol Shows shit after the Styles came up

That style started with lazy teens on drugs couch surfing.. not showering or washing clothes.

grunge is a genre of music not a fashion style

You don’t know anything.
