Thesis: How did the bands Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Nirvana of the 1991 to 1994 Seattle grunge movement affect the angst-ridden attitude, lyrics and melody of alternative hard rock music in 1999? Inspired by the documentary "hype" and the soundgarden song "karaoke" i am writing a research paper about the affect these 4 bands (soundgarden, pearl jam, alice in chains and nirvana) from the "seattle grunge movement"<91 to 94-- during the peak of all the hype> have had on modern rock as it is presently. by this i mean... ***lyrics, attitude and musical melody in general***. i chose these 4 bands for the sole reason that they were the 4 most commercially successful bands to come out from the whole "grunge thing". i know we all have our viewpoints about who/what is "real grunge" from subpop to the deep6... to the u-men.... to selling out... to the classification of 'grunge' bands in general but bear with it... ((in your reponses interject your viewpoint if you wish)) but what i am looking/asking for is lyrics- similarities b/w these 4 bands and a new band, anything which alludes to this subject (karaoke), bands whom have openly expressed their influences to be one of these bands (i.e. creed, bush and days of the new), articles, url pages, books, magazines, quotes- band members, managers (kelly curtis/susan silver), producers, similarities in melody of songs... ANYTHING!!! if you have any relevant dates.... like the release of "smells like teen spirit" which mtv stated as bringing grunge mainstream... when 'black hole sun' hit radio airwaves and everyone went crazy.... the premiere of certain videos etc. etc. whether the information is in praise or against the influence of soundgarden, nirvana, pearl jam, alice in chains, it is welcome information. it doesn't even have to take an actually viewpoint... it can just be a review. it doesn't even have to be a lot of info... one quote or idea you maybe in mind is awesome. ohhhh man i hope i got my point across. if you're confused please feel free to email me and i can try to explain again. thanks soo much everyone :) keep me in my mind the next time you run across an old article with kim thayil making fun of "alterna-types" ;) or eddie vedder complaining about being a "rock-star" or chris cornell making fun of "bush". this will be a long on-going project. thanks.... and i have an easy email address, unknown000@hotmail.com !!! hopefully this wasn't too redundant for those of you who frequent the newsgroups. =O thanks everyone. rock on! sls(into chris' fire she goes) Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 20:51:36 -0500 From: David Reyes Subject: Help me!
