Grunge has been perceived as the music that defined 'Generation X'.
Twenty years after the height of the movement there is still
considerable interest in its rise and fall, and its main figures
such as Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. As a form of 'retro' music
it is even experiencing a resurgence, and Cobain remains an icon to
many young music fans today. But what was grunge, and what has it
become? This book explores how grunge has been remembered by the
fans that grew up with it, and asks how memory is both formed by
and forms popular culture. It looks at the relationship between
media, memory and music fans and demonstrates how different groups
can use and shape memory as part of an ongoing struggle for power
in society. Grunge was the site of such a struggle, as popular
music so often is, with the young people of the time asking
questions about their place in the world and the way society is
organized. This book examines what these questions were, and what
has happened to them over time. It shows that although grunge
challenged many social structures, the way it, and youth itself,
are remembered often work to reinforce the status quo.
