Where does the Grungs look come from?

The grunge was born in the 1960s. Rock bands created this new extraordinary music genre. It was shabby, distorted, melancholic, different.

The worldwide breakthrough made the music style in the 1980s/1990s. Bands such as Mudhoney, Nirvana and Pearl Jam are considered well-known pioneers of the Grunge movement. Due to the international sensation that the bands aroused, her style also became more and more focused on. Nothing stood in the way of the commercialization of the looks.

The legendary singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain - who became an idol of an entire generation, was particularly in the spotlight of the public. The history of the broken rebel, which ended his life at the age of only 27, was tragic and fascinating at the same time. His voice still touches today and his appearance is unforgettable. Half -length, streaked hair, white, printed shirt and a wide cardigan - Kurt Cobain brought this look onto the stage and looked incredibly cool!

Barefoot shoes between punk rock and metal

It is November 18, 1993. Nirvana records its legendary live album “MTV Unplugged in New York”. Pat Smear does not wear shoes, just socks. And Kurt his cardigan, which was later to be auctioned for a high amount of money.

Fashion is not just clothing or "wearing something". She is a mirror of our self -who we are what we feel. It is an expression of our inner attitude, our conviction, our state of mind. And sometimes we also dress up because we want to slip into the role of another. Also inconspicuous and modest today, tomorrow like a star.

We can now start speculating why Pat did not wear shoes or Kurt a worn cardigan. Was it the resistance to the mainstream? The longing for "being different"? Was it a spirit of rebellion and independence? The longing for freedom? Or was it just fatigue in terms of life itself? Maybe it was just the thought: "Today I don't care what I put on, I'm just wearing anything." Or: "Oh, today I let my shoes away."

Whatever the motives were, the style of the time extends to the here and now and is an integral part of the fashion scene. Today, however, the Grunge style occurs in a cubble and everyday variant. However, he essentially remains true to himself: Punk rock and metal set the idea of ​​freedom and the Grunge style gives him a face.
