When I began in the late '90s, I felt quite lonely. We were coming out of the grunge era; it was the time of Corinne Day, The Face, the height of the YBAs, where models had to be "real," on real locations with no lighting. I rebelled against the grungeys - I didn't find the faux naturalism to be representative!
Grunge, like Nirvana and all that. Heavy metal, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Guns and Roses, drum and bass. I like to listen to it and try and break down what makes a fan of that music say 'Ah @#$%& that other music', do you get me? Trying to figure out what makes them tick, I always try and break that down with every piece of music. But the energy in that music, I love it.
Every day my style changes with my mood. Some days I'll feel a little more grunge and wear boyfriend jeans, but in the summer I like to feel girly and wear dresses.
In the early '90s I was floating somewhere between the Brat PackAndrew McCarthyJames SpaderPretty In Pink kind of stuff and the alterna-pop look, crossed with a very distinct grunge sensibility.
I hate grunge. It was the worst period of my life.
Punk came along and grunge made guitar solos uncool.
My aunt and overprivileged cousin only recognize two states of being: glitter and grunge. And if you weren’t glitter, well, that only left one other option.
I don't know much about that whole grunge thing.
One thing about my mother is that she has her taste: She knows what she likes and what looks good. It's not studied. There is no insecurity in what she is going to wear, and I think that translates into effortlessness. Her career has been a steady rise, and it hasn't been about the fashion of the moment. It's been because she has kept to her style. She didn't go grunge when it was grunge, or 70's when it was 70's. It's about being secure with what you like and not worrying about what's in fashion that particular day. That's what I admire about her.
There hasn't been anything real since grunge. That was the last movement led by music or an art form.
If punk was about getting rid of hippies, then I'm getting rid of grunge.
As far as the grunge thing, there are three bands from Seattle that I would call true grunge.
The world is a pile of grunge.
Best two rock voices I've heard in a last few years both have been from grunge bands: it's Eddie Vedder and the other one is Chris Cornell from Soundgarden.
People act like Nirvana invented grunge; they just took it and personified it.
Doolittle was a major influence on the Seattle grunge scene, which emerged in the early 1990s.
Grunge is a hippied romantic version of punk.
There's not a word that describes us. We’re not alternative, metal or grunge - we’re not any of that. We’re just what we are.
I never really followed grunge.
Im the mold that grunge was grown in.
