Post-Grunge Refers To The Wave Of Bands Who Appeared Shortly After Seattle Grunge Hit The Mainstream. The Major Difference Is That While The Seattle Bands Were Firmly Rooted In Underground Alternative Rock Of The '80s Post-Grunge Was Influenced By What Grunge Became -- A Wildly Popular Form Of Inward-Looking Serious-Minded Hard Rock. That Meant Many Post-Grunge Groups Imitated The Sound And Style Of Grunge But Not Necessarily The Individual Idiosyncracies Of Its Original Artists. The Angst-Ridden Sober Introspection Typically Associated With Grunge Became Virtual Requirements In The Hands Of Post-Grunge Which Tended To View It As A Path To Artistic Legitimacy. In Its Worst Excesses Post-Grunge Took Itself Extremely Seriously And Was Highly Self-Conscious About Its Own Significance As A Result Grunge's Most Personal Aspects Essentially Became Components Of A Formula For Making Grand Musical Statements. That Wasn't Universally True Of Course But Post-Grunge Did Help Codify What Was Expected Of Mature Mainstream Hard Rockers For The Rest Of The '90s. And Despite Its Alternative Roots Post-Grunge Was Definitely A Mainstream Commercial Style -- It Was Released On Major Labels And Its Thick Distorted Grunge Guitars Were Given A Polished Radio-Ready Production. Yet While Much Post-Grunge Is Similar It Isn't Identical In Addition To Grunge Post-Grunge Bands Might Draw From Early-'80s Jangle Pop Punk-Pop Ska Revival Alternative Metal Or Classic Album Rock. Plus A Few Quirky Post-Grunge Outfits Succeeded Because Of Their Wiseass Senses Of Humor Rather Than The Style's Typically Dour Melancholy. After Grunge's Breakthrough It Didn't Take Long For Post-Grunge To Appear Bands Like Bush And Candlebox Became Huge Successes Just A Couple Years After Nirvana Topped The Charts At The Beginning Of 1992. After Grunge's Initial Heyday Had Passed Post-Grunge Kept Going Strong With A New Wave Of Bands Appearing In The Mid- To Late '90s Some Were Able To Maintain Their Popularity From One Album To The Next While Others Wound Up As One-Hit Wonders. At The Turn Of The Millennium Post-Grunge Was Still A Popular Style And Creed And Matchbox 20 Were Two Of The Biggest-Selling Rock Bands In The U.S. Post-Grunge Every artist, every band, and every song you can imagine, from the newest to the oldest, are easily accessible through Frogtoon Music.
