Talk:List of Post-Grunge artists
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Much like alternative rock in general, Post grunge is highly diverse. Many bands can differ in sound and style a lot, but still the line must be drawn at one point or another. Where can post-grunge be said to start and end? The only reliable definition of the genre is that Post-Grunge is any rock music after the mainstream popularity of Grunge, besides that the term is too vague in defining the genre as a whole.
One major factor that contributed to the explosion of Post-Grunge's popularity was the Punk rock revival by artists such as Green Day and the Offspring. Much after that post-Grunge fused with Pop Rock and later sometime before the turn of the millenium, approximately 1998 to 1999 the genre began to split away from what it started as. These branches later became Pop-Rock of the 2000s, Nu-Metal, Pop-Punk, and today's Modern Rock. All of the artists in these branches are considered to be Post-Grunge as well as Alternative Rock. However one thing is certain that Post-Grunge has evolved a lot since its days in the '90s. (Tigerghost 23:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC))
[edit] GREEN DAY, OFFSPRING, AND BLINK-182 are not POST-GRUNGE!
Jesus...these bands share no characteristics of post-grunge. Hell, GD and Offspring were there around the time of post-grunge. These bands came from the punk scene in California. Maplejet 14:48, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
