Post-grunge

Last updated

Post-grunge is an offshoot of grunge that has a less abrasive or intense tone than traditional grunge. Originally, the term was used almost pejoratively to label mid-1990s alternative rock bands such as Bush, Candlebox, Collective Soul, Live, Foo Fighters, and Silverchair, that emulated the original sound of grunge.

Contents

In the late 1990s, post-grunge became a more clearly defined style that combined the sound and aesthetic of grunge with more commercially accessible songwriting, rising to prominence that lasted into the 2000s. Bands such as Foo Fighters, Nickelback, Creed, Staind, Puddle of Mudd, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Shinedown, Seether, and Matchbox Twenty achieved mainstream success in this second wave.

Characteristics

During the 1990s, a post-grunge sound emerged that emulated the attitudes and music of grunge, particularly its thick, distorted guitars, but with a less intense and less abrasive tone. [1] [2] Unlike a lot of early grunge bands, post-grunge bands often worked through major record labels and incorporated influences from a variety of musical genres such as jangle pop, pop-punk , ska revival, alternative metal, and classic rock. [2] Post-grunge music tends to be in mid-tempo and is noted for having "a polished, radio-ready production". [2] Tim Grierson of About.com wrote that musically, post-grunge bands "split the difference between plaintive ballads and aggressive rockers, resulting in songs that combine the two extremes into a sad-eyed, propulsive middle ground". [3] Post-grunge tends to feature the "...same kind of melody as...bubblegum pop" and pop song structures. [4] [5] On some occasions, post-grunge music features both an electric guitar and an acoustic guitar playing simultaneously. [4] Post-grunge tends to have production quality that is much higher and cleaner than grunge. [6]

A "major rift" between grunge and post-grunge is in the lyrical substance of the music; grunge often expressed emotion through loose metaphors or third-person narratives, while post-grunge was known for being direct and blunt. [4] While describing lyrics that are common in post-grunge, Sasha Geffen of Consequence of Sound wrote that post-grunge "plunged directly into the 'I.'" [4] Geffen also wrote that most post-grunge songs that achieved mainstream success "call after a prospective or past companion in the first person". [4] Post-grunge lyrics also tend to be about topics such as relationships, romance and drug addiction. [4] [7] According to Geffen, "grunge's frontmen posed with their addictions; post-grunge's songwriters sought redemption for them". [4] Geffen then states that post-grunge songs "fit the mold of songs made for...teenage boys and girls" who were "longing for a distant someone". [4]

Pejorative labels

British band Bush (pictured) were described by Matt Diehl of Rolling Stone as "the most successful and shameless mimics of Nirvana's music".

Originally, post-grunge was a label that was meant to be almost pejorative, suggesting that grunge bands labelled as post-grunge were simply musically derivative, or a cynical response to an "authentic" rock movement. [1] When grunge became a mainstream genre because of bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam, record labels started signing bands that sounded similar to these bands' sonic identities. Bands labeled as post-grunge that emerged when grunge was mainstream such as Bush, Candlebox and Collective Soul are all noted for emulating the sound of bands that launched grunge into the mainstream. [1] According to Tim Grierson of About.com, the almost pejorative use of the "post-grunge" label to describe these bands was "suggesting that rather than being a musical movement in their own right, they were just a calculated, cynical response to a legitimate stylistic shift in rock music". [1] In the late 1990s, post-grunge morphed, becoming a derivative of grunge that combined characteristics of grunge with a more commercially accessible tone. During this time, post-grunge bands such as Creed and Nickelback emerged. Grierson wrote:

Creed and Nickelback espoused a more conventional, almost conservative worldview built around the comforts of community and romantic relationships. Ironically, this attitude was diametrically opposed to the antisocial angst of the original grunge bands, who railed against conformity and instead explored troubling issues such as suicide, societal hypocrisy and drug addiction. [1]

Grierson also wrote, "Post-grunge was a profitable musical style, but bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam were beloved partly because of their perceived integrity in avoiding the mainstream. Post-grunge, by comparison, seemed to exist in order to court that very audience." [1]

In the late 2000s and 2010s, the derogatory term "butt rock" gained traction when applied in relation to many post-grunge artists who were popular during the genre's prime, such as Nickelback, Creed, Puddle of Mudd, and Hinder. While the origins of the term are debated, the term "butt rock" usually comes from someone critical of an overuse of raspy vocals (often described as imitations of Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder) or, less often, overly clichéd or angsty lyrics. [9]

History

1993–1997: First wave and rise in popularity

Even at the height of their popularity, after the release of Nevermind (1991) brought grunge to international attention, Nirvana experienced increasing problems, partly caused by Kurt Cobain's drug addiction and growing dissatisfaction with commercial success. [10] In late 1992, Cobain was photographed in a T-shirt with 'Grunge is Dead' printed on its front [11] at which point the genre's decline started to be widely discussed. [12] [13] Cobain's suicide in 1994, as well as Pearl Jam's touring problems, marked a decline for grunge that year. [2] Problems of addiction for Layne Staley of Alice in Chains led to the band cancelling scheduled dates in 1995. [14] Addiction and legal problems for Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots led to the band having touring problems, causing the band to tour their album Purple for only four months, and their follow up album Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop for only 6 weeks. [15]

As the original grunge movement began to fade, major record labels began signing and promoting bands emulating the genre in a more mainstream style, dubbed by some writers as "post-grunge". [16] Though bands such as Bush [17] [18] [19] and Candlebox [20] have been categorized as grunge, both bands have also been categorized as post-grunge. [2] Collective Soul [1] and Live [7] are two other bands categorized as post-grunge that emerged along with Bush and Candlebox. Bush, Candlebox, Collective Soul and Live all achieved mainstream success; Candlebox's self-titled album (1993) was certified 4× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) [21] and, according to Nielsen SoundScan, sold at least 4,000,000 copies. [22] Its song "Far Behind" peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100. [23] Collective Soul's song "Shine" peaked at number 11 on the same chart [24] and was certified gold by the RIAA in September 1994. [25] Collective Soul's album Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid (1993) was certified 2× platinum by the RIAA, [26] and the band's self-titled album released in 1995 was certified 3× platinum by the RIAA. [27] Bush's debut studio album Sixteen Stone (1994) was certified 6× platinum by the RIAA [28] and the band's second studio album Razorblade Suitcase (1996), which peaked at number 1 on the Billboard 200, [29] was certified 3× platinum by the RIAA. [30] Carl Williott of Stereogum called Bush's album Sixteen Stone "a harbinger of post-grunge's pop dominance". [31] Live's album Throwing Copper (1994) was certified 8× platinum by the RIAA, [32] and the band's album Secret Samadhi (1997) was certified 2× platinum by the RIAA. [33] Both Throwing Copper and Secret Samadhi peaked at number 1 on the Billboard 200. [34]

In 1995, former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl's newer band Foo Fighters helped to popularize post-grunge and define its parameters, becoming one of the most commercially successful rock bands in the United States, aided by considerable airplay on MTV. [35] Like grunge bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains, the post-grunge band Candlebox was from Seattle, but post-grunge was marked by a broadening of the geographical base of grunge, with bands categorized as post-grunge such as York, Pennsylvania's Live, [36] Atlanta, Georgia's Collective Soul, Australia's Silverchair and England's Bush, who all paved the way for later post-grunge bands. [2] [37] Female solo artist Alanis Morissette's 1995 album Jagged Little Pill , which is considered a post-grunge album, became a hit [38] and was certified 16× platinum by the RIAA in 1998 [39] having sold at least 15,000,000 copies in the United States. [40] Matchbox Twenty's 1996 debut album, Yourself or Someone Like You , was a success; it was certified 12× platinum by the RIAA. [41] A 2024 review of Live's Throwing Copper by Consequence of Sound 's Paolo Ragusa credits that album with starting post-grunge and shifting rock music to a new direction after the death of Kurt Cobain by combining some harder rock influences with clearer vocals, softer guitar melodies, and the production of Jerry Harrison to make a distinct sound. [42]

1997–2010: Second wave and peak popularity
