much like punk blossomed in response to disco's popularity, grunge was a retaliation against glam bands. For this reason, I can't ever besmirch grunge.

and I may be wrong but bands like Skinny Puppy and the Smiths were bringing that darkness and self-loathing in the mid-80s, too, so it wasn't completely new.

Those bands were more cult following while grunge was mainstream, but fair point.
