Grunge, rock music style of the early 1990s, characterized by a thick, abrasive, distorted guitar sound. Grunge evolved from punk in the Seattle, Washington, area and came to prominence with the chart success of the band Nirvana in 1991.

The Melvins (a band that formed in Seattle in the early 1980s) pioneered grunge with their turbid, slow-moving sound. Pearl Jam (which formed in Seattle in 1990), with their powerful singer, Eddie Vedder, has been the most commercially successful grunge-inspired group.
