Abstract

For my project, doing a comparison of American and London grunge music, whose time periods ran almost simultaneous to each other. During the grunge era, cultural and societal issues were often incorporated into the music, which affected the sound and lyrics. This project is very special to me due to the fact that the music has been a great part of my life since I was a child playing violin. So this project incorporates my propensity to music or more specifically grunge music.

Introduction

This project is meant to be used as an introduction to the misunderstood genre of music of Grunge, which dominated the music scene during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. It will produce a sort of guide to listening to Grunge music along with an accompanying “mixtape” to distinguish the differences between American and London Grunge music. Then cover what others have done like it, how your project is different. Discuss the extent to which your strategy for completing this project was new to you, or an extension of previous HUA experiences.

This milestone is very much the music history of grunge music in London. very much the who, where, when, what, why, and how of the grunge music era in London

Background

Grunge music is classified as a genre of rock music that came to fruition from the late 1980’s to the early 1990’s. During this time grunge did not only appear as a genre of music, it also became a fashion trend that donned an unkempt and dirty look. (there is so much more to write, but I need a book that I got from the library)
