Bands kept playing it (it's basicaly just underrehearsed metal, so there's very little time commitment), but no one would talk about it for fear of hearing the "we're not grunge" spiel (see also: emo, death of). Let's hope that the current future generation did not learn from that mistake.</P> @Zlevee: The exagerated death of grunge was brought about by too many obviously grunge bands saying that they didn’t play grunge and that grunge didn’t exist.

But radio followed suit by 1996 (yes, I'm actually claiming MTV had that much influence - back then, not so much now). When Rock tried to recover, bands grasped at rap-rock fusion, and that failed so miserably that emo was able to rear its ugly head.</P> <P>I'm glad some kind of grunge revival is occurring.</P> Grunge never got tired, it just got displaced by hip-hop on MTV, who in about 1994 relegated rock to the midnight hours after teeenagers were asleep despite it being overwhelmingly popular on radio.
