Talk:Grunge

"Less Visible"?

The article states, in the third paragraph, that grunge bands "became less visible", and later says they "faded from view". This is unclear, and should probably be reworded. Even I am not sure exactly what this means. Darkflux (talk) 14:48, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

An earlier use of the term referring specifically to the Northwest sound

From the album notes of Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 7: The Northwest (1984): "Take a loud, sloppy, grungy band, give 'em an old R&B riff like "Louie Louie" or any Little Richard song, add a vocalist who has mastered the blood curdling visceral scream and an inept but deranged guitarist conditioned to spring into action at the words "Let's give it to 'em!", and record the whole thing in some teenage nightclub in suburban Oregon or Washington, and you've got the prototypical Northwest disc." - Jmabel | Talk 20:19, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Proto-Gunge: Early Seattle Band

This is a great page, but I noticed that there is no mention of Tina Bell and Bam Bam. They are widely regarded as one of the first bands to begin shaping the early Seattle Grunge sound.

Drummer, Matt Cameron was in the band and went on to play with Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. In fact it has also been reported that Kurt Cobain was a fan and even was a roadie for them prior to forming Nirvana.

Can we please add some information about their contribution to the sound and Tina Bell being considered the “Godmother of Grunge?” ~2026-14658-84 (talk) 21:13, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

This is nonsense. Firstly, Tina Bell is already mentioned in the article. Secondly, claims of her being the "Godmother or Grunge" etc. are false over-reactions that have come up in recent years. Matt Cameron is fully entitled to speak up for a lost friend of his, as is her son, but Tina Bell was not particularly important to grunge. There is nothing to add.
