Come on, Cobain's look was heavily fucking marketed, you retard. Grunge was a safe commercial rebellion.

The music in the end meant something though, it wasn't watered down. All these bands take the style, and rip it apart. Nickelback? Creed? Three doors down? Gimme a break. Same thing with Seether.
And at the time, it was the media who looked for something to label it. The bands didn't go out of their way to just go with it. In fact they did everything they could to avoid the limelight. Hence Pearl Jam stopped going to huge venues, releasing music videos..all that jazz.
BTW, to the guy who said there was no underground back in the day. WTF?
Most everything was underground. A few bands made it big, but you still had sonic youth, the pixies, mudhoney, the melvins, tad..none of those bands made it huge.
