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.
