Description
Grunge, a musical movement born in the Pacific north-west, emerged in the early 1980s. Its success was swift and unexpected, with Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' single catapulting the genre into the mainstream in 1991. Mark Yarm's book, Everybody Loves Our Town, offers a comprehensive account of grunge's history, from its origins to its eventual decline. Yarm draws on exclusive interviews to tell the story of grunge's key figures, including the founders of Soundgarden and the Melvins, the rise of the Sub Pop record label, and the meteoric success of Nirvana and Pearl Jam. The book also explores the intense media hype surrounding the genre, the tragic death of Kurt Cobain, and the eventual decline of grunge in the mid-to-late 1990s.
