Over 25 years ago, Kurt Cobain predicted that grunge would become corny. "Grunge is as potent a term as new wave," he told Rolling Stone. "You can't get out of it. It's going to be passé."
At the time, Eddie Vedder was on the cover of Time, fashion designer Marc Jacobs was dressing models in flannel and even The New York Times was questioning, "How did a five-letter word meaning dirt, filth, trash become synonymous with a musical genre, a fashion statement, a pop phenomenon?" Although the word has fallen out of vogue, the music from the time remains vital.
