Anyway, metal (thrash/heavy) has it's popularity back and it's only growing and will be there for next decade undoubltly . Haven't heard of any new grunge/nu-metal tho :) P.s. Sound of white Noise and Cuatro has a heavy grunge influence in them, so they didn't survive that era.

Lucky for us, they fail miserably and only tour for a short period of time with their geriatric groupies a-following. Grunge had it's ups and downs. I mean there were some good rock bands that brought rock to a different level than what was considered mainstream at the time. Again notice that the ones that were musically strong are still around. Well, ok, Pearl jam is still around. Everyone else has pretty much broken up or band members have passed away. AIC is sometimes considered grunge but I really don't like that they got tossed in to that because they were truly one of a kind.

I grew up in the 90's. My father grew up in 60's and 70's and typically made me listen to early rock which I enjoyed. I degrade many 80's bands typically because of the glam metal it was bad. And I cant stand to listen to men that sound like women and dress and look like women. Terrible era of Metal. Metallica, Priest, Iron, Megadeth now that was metal hard and something that you can bang the head to. Little history did you know that Pantera started out as Glam Metal. And turned into what I believe revolutionized the kind of metal we listen to today. I think the grunge era turned Pantera into what I believe the Best hard heavy metal band ever. Are they heavier than Metallica? Yes! Priest? Yes! Maiden? Yes! Did they have the bad ass solos? Yes! Do they claim their glam metal past time? Hell no! Why you ask? Worst period of metals existence. Did grunge help? Every bit. Look I listen to anything big variety in my opinion. But no one should degrade grunge nor nu metal for turning into something different that the 80's were just so bad at doing from the 70's. And I know there is a bunch of 80 followers and I dont have too big of a problem with 80's except the ones that claim they are metal when only they have nice power chords to a man that looks like a women and sings like a ten year old. Thats not metal! Warrant! Haha, Skidrow! haha. There was metal before the 80's and there still is now. Why don't everyone step back and give all of it a chance. I did, and I pick out what I liked. Some people cant look past what metal was and has become. To be honest I loved the grunge era. I grew up in the 90’s.

You can not really deny the impact that those two albums had. Never said that I hated grunge music. I still own Nevermind and I just bought the new Legacy edition of Ten.

Let me also remind you that an iconic song in metal contains no solo at all....Breaking The Law. That song does not have any traditional solo in it, or anything that could really be considered a solo. Some of it was done right and if properly arranged, yes, it can be considered metal.
