oisincoleman64: Top post-grunge that no wants to call post-grunge

pizzamachine 09.10.23	Ur trollin
oisincoleman64 09.10.23	not even
pizzamachine 09.10.23	Damn. Well, 8 is more like indie poser bullshit. 3 is defs metal
JohnnyoftheWell 09.10.23	the timeline on this thing is fucking broken jfc
TheArtofTheGanja 09.10.23	none of these are post-grunge
JDubb 09.10.23	Ummm… I see where ur going. temporally, these may be”post grunge”. But several of these aren’t technically post grunge (the genre). 3 is nu metal at its best/peak. And 17 is more early post hardcore (like Far, Quicksand and Handsome).
DarkSideOfLucca 09.10.23	Siamese Dream was fucking 1993 and that's post grunge? lol
Valzentia 09.10.23	8 is more like indie poser bullshit [2] also Boulevard of Broken Dreams is more post-grunge than Whatsername
JDubb 09.10.23	Did I mention that I detest post grunge! I usually equate that genre to Creed, Puddle of Mud, Tonic, Matchbox 20, 3 Doors Down, Cake, etc. several of the bands on this list would fall under 90’s punk and alternative.
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 09.10.23	lmao did you just say cake. huh
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 09.10.23	leave cake out of this
oisincoleman64 09.10.23	"Siamese Dream was fucking 1993 and that's post grunge? lol" post-grunge started in the early 90s pretty much as soon as grunge was big enough to be commercialized
oisincoleman64 09.10.23	"Did I mention that I detest post grunge! I usually equate that genre to Creed, Puddle of Mud, Tonic, Matchbox 20, 3 Doors Down, Cake, etc. several of the bands on this list would fall under 90’s punk and alternative." this is the issue, people have such a negative connotation with post-grunge cause they think it just means butt rock and dont want to apply it to any "respectable" music
oisincoleman64 09.10.23	"And 17 is more early post hardcore (like Far, Quicksand and Handsome)." there's honestly a lot of shared DNA between post-hardcore and grunge/post-grunge, even an album like The Colour and The Shape is deeply inspired by phxc
ArsMoriendi 09.10.23	My Own Worst enemy is just pop punk what do you mean? Today is closer to actual grunge. I mean how could post grunge even exist before 1995?
EoinCofa 09.10.23	Gotta be a joke
Havey 09.10.23	everyone itt has 5'd at least 1 post-grunge album but will never acknowledge this due to extreme levels of cognitive dissonance, proving oisin's point
JohnnyoftheWell 09.10.23	white light white heat is the lost post grunge grail
hillbillyag 09.10.23	I see where you are coming from with this list, but it seems like you are just equating any rock-ish music after the early 90's as post grunge? You don't agree with the poster who named Cake do you? What is your definition of Grunge? Post Grunge?
bellovddd 09.10.23	20 is the goods
Koris 09.10.23	"Did I mention that I detest post grunge! I usually equate that genre to Creed, Puddle of Mud, Tonic, Matchbox 20, 3 Doors Down, Cake, etc. several of the bands on this list would fall under 90’s punk and alternative." Never heard of Cake being considered post-grunge, but ok lol
JDubb 09.10.23	May detest it, but also thankful for post grunge. Really pushed me into metal (the alternative to the alternative) at the time - Pantera, Sepultura, Stuck Mojo, etc.
JDubb 09.10.23	…and Cake was feeding off the success of grunge and alternative, just like the others noted above. same people listening to them were listening to the above - and Jars of Clay, DMB, Blues Traveller, and more I would rather not recall. Derivative times.
theBoneyKing 09.10.23	Post-grunge isn’t real, it can’t hurt you
Snake. 09.10.23	when is the alison boucher alt being resurrected
claygurnz 09.10.23	Delete this asap
SomeCallMeTim 09.10.23	Best list ever, will change the course of scholarly musical studies
oisincoleman64 09.10.23	"My Own Worst enemy is just pop punk what do you mean?" That song is not punk at all, people just started equating all power pop infused alt rock to pop punk at some point
oisincoleman64 09.10.23	"but it seems like you are just equating any rock-ish music after the early 90's as post grunge?" Definitely not there's heaps of rock 90s and onward that has nothing to do with the sound
oisincoleman64 09.10.23	I mean when you consider how massive of a shift Nevermind caused it makes sense how much of alt rock onward was influenced by grunge, it became the standard
oisincoleman64 09.10.23	"I mean how could post grunge even exist before 1995?" Candlebox, Collective Soul, The Posies, Bush?
oisincoleman64 09.10.23	All I'm saying is you could put a gravely voice no name Eddie Vedder impersonator over any of these instrumentals and no one would argue they're post-grunge
TheArtofTheGanja 09.10.23	I would argue the lack of a Scott Stapp or Chad Kroeger-esque singer on these songs is precisely what doesn’t make them post grunge. It’s kind of an indispensable aspect of the sound
oisincoleman64 09.10.23	I think that's a stigma that happened over time because it's hard for a lot of people not to notice (and grow a distaste for) and that's coloured people's idea of the genre, when post-grunge was first coined it wasn't used nearly with as much disdain, there's no shortage of post-grunge bands who have vocalists who don't fall into the stereotype such as Local H or even Foo Fighters tbh, I don't find Dave Grohl to be very similar vocally to Scott or Chad but for whatever Foo Fighters are the only band people actually like that isn't off limits when it comes to the label, I suppose it's because of Dave's past in Nirvana and the fact they came at just the right time before post-grunge was a dirty word
Snake. 09.10.23	"coloured people's idea of the genre" might wanna edit this asap
TheArtofTheGanja 09.10.23	wtf lol just noticed that
pizzamachine 09.10.23	Holy fuck
oisincoleman64 09.10.23	Lmao bad choice of words but you get what I meant
EoinCofa 09.10.23	I just imagined Eddie Vedder blaring "coloured people's idea of the genre"
JDubb 09.10.23	Foo Fighters, as they were initially all Dave Grohl by himself, seemed to have more street cred; he was a member of Nirvana at their peak. The others (the Scotts and Chads. Bush) though - they jumped on the bandwagon. And they never had enough musical ability (past a few open chords and power chords) to expand their sound. Nickelback sound about as derivative today as they did back then.
random 09.10.23	Check the song “Bitter” for an actual post-grunge song by Lit.
Ryus 09.11.23	"The Taste of Ink" ???????????????????????????????????
JohnnyoftheWell 10.31.23	i have mailed this list to your mother it didn't take long to arrive

MoM 10.31.23	I like post-grunge. A lot came out after grunge started. I like a lot of pre-grunge too. And during-grunge is quite excellent. If we’re talking the genre, i still like a bunch, but this bait ain’t strong enough
oisincoleman64 11.01.23	not b8 im just on another level
JohnnyoftheWell 11.01.23	well WHAT LEVEL IS THAT THEN you disrespectful fuck

MoM 11.01.23	I thought sput was in a time loop for a second
Sinternet 11.01.23	this is the most musically illiterate thing i've seen all year
Jasdevi087 11.01.23	"top post-grunge that no wants to call post-grunge" precedes to list zero post-grunge gotta be at least an A-tier effort post
FREETHEGUYS 11.01.23	good list
SomeCallMeTim 11.01.23	my favorite post-grunge album is Earth 2: Special Low Frequency Version
Storm In A Teacup 11.01.23	"storm tries not to bring up hopesfall (impossible)" Hmm that is fair lol
oisincoleman64 11.01.23	Nirvana have some post-grunge songs
Snake. 11.01.23	kate bush making those donkey noises in the dreaming gotta be a sigma-tier post-grunge moment for me
Mort. 11.01.23	rofl
ArsMoriendi 11.01.23	If Nirvana has post-grunge songs wtf IS post-grunge
DocSportello 11.01.23	the grunge war did not take place
Kompys2000 11.01.23	"Nirvana have some post grunge songs" Lol, lmao even
Pikazilla 11.01.23	can we stop talking about nirvana in 2023 they stopped being relevant a very long time ago
Kompys2000 11.01.23	Lol do you as a metalhead really want to play the relevance game with Nirvana fans
Pikazilla 11.01.23	hey at least i'll admit that a lot of the music i listen to is irrelevant grunge was a mistake and the 90s were by far the worst period in guitar music
ncguitar 11.01.23	can confirm Snoop Dogg is post grunge
Pikazilla 11.01.23	can confirm Snoop Dogg has some great songs unlike Nirvana
ArsMoriendi 11.01.23	Pikazilla, I like you bro, but your music hottakes are so consistently just no Grunge rules and was among one of the best things in the 90s
FrozenFirebug 11.01.23	slint - spiderland
JohnnyoftheWell 11.01.23	90s guitar music fucked, but grunge is an angsty glorification of butt rock and ain't the reason why
Mort. 11.01.23	yeah ive always struggled to get into grunge
oisincoleman64 11.01.23	"If Nirvana has post-grunge songs wtf IS post-grunge" a more streamlined and accessible version of grunge, let's not act like some of Nirvana's bigger songs weren't noticeably more poppy than the grunge that preceded it
ArsMoriendi 11.01.23	Grunge is already accessible as fuck Might as well call all of Nevermind post-grunge, which would just be ironic because it’s the card carrier of what grunge is and it’s essentially a pop rock album
MoM 11.01.23	@Ars Agreed. The whole list is pretty crack-smoked
ArsMoriendi 11.01.23	Honestly Television were apparently playing songs from Marquee Moon as early as like 1973, before The Clash even formed and their performances are credited as inspiring Patti Smith to record Horses in 1975, so if Television are post punk, than post punk predates punk
MeatSalad 11.01.23	Good grunge is v good but like a lot of lesser guitar genres, there's very little actual goodness to dig into Nirvana is good, cobain was a real one
ArsMoriendi 11.01.23	Idk GhandhiLion would prob say Television are art punk and not post punk so it depends if you agree with him or not Where’d pigglesteins comments go whoa boo
