Grunge music originated in the late 1980s and became popular in the 1990s. Bands like Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, etc. are examples of grunge music bands. And what about grunge fashion? Now you can learn how to be grunge, but also pretty and elegant at the same time!
Steps
Step 1. Before buying new clothes you need to familiarize yourself with this style
When most people hear the word "grunge" they think of dirt, garbage, rust, factories, etc. Grunge is a mix of punk rock leftovers and a bit of metal. So to be grunge, think grunge. This means not wanting to be popular or not wanting to become a pop icon. So get as far away as you can from popularity, or "fake society". You have to be independent and not give a damn about what people want or think of you. If you only listen to Nirvana all day and wear flannel shirts, you will be considered a fake grunge lover
Step 2. Start listening to music
Limiting yourself to Nirvana will make you a braggart who pretends to love grunge. There are a LOT of other grunge bands you've probably never heard of. (For example: Hole, Dinosaur Jr., Green Magnet School, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Garbage, etc.)
Step 3. For girls, jewelry is very important
Piercings are good for grunge, but they don't have to be extreme. Vintage or mechanical style jewelry is perfect. For example, bracelets and necklaces made of wood or rusty metal with mechanical-style pendants are perfect. Beware that they are not too punk, because that is a subsequent trend. Crucifixes are fine too and CND symbols of peace.
Step 4. For sweaters, opt for fleece or checkered flannel shirts
For a more feminine touch, choose a checked or plaid dress and ripped jeans. Other essential items are sweatshirts and vests. Avoid new clothes. Good places to shop are open air markets and second hand shops. Choose earthy colors like brown, green, dark blue, and something more feminine like red, burgundy or dark pink. As for jeans avoid skinny ones because they will make you look like a fake grunge lover. Opt for patched, ripped, baggy jeans. To be more feminine, choose ripped shorts with knee-length flannel socks. For shoes, wear Converse. If you buy a new pair, dirty them in a puddle of mud or use scissors to break them up a bit. Other recommended shoes are boots and amphibians like the Doc Martens.
Step 5. The trick must be kept to a minimum
Use brown or green eyeshadows, dark brown eyeliner, and brown mascara. Lips can be dark red, burgundy or burgundy.
Step 6. Avoid straightening your hair and leave it natural (people didn't own hair straighteners at the time
)
Step 7. Finally, follow all these tips
Don't be too careless towards people, always be nice!
