Post-Grunge

Post-Grunge is a genre of music that derives from Grunge. Originally used as a label to many bands that were emulating Grunge music outside of Seattle, it became more defined as bands of that style after the popularity of the genre drifted after Kurt Cobain's death in 1994.

== Characteristics ==
The sound of Post-Grunge is typically described as that of Grunge. Just like the earlier sound, distorted guitars and darker lyrics make up a bunch of the sound. However, unlike many of the early-mid 1990s contemporaries, bands that were considered Post-Grunge had better production quality, song structures similar to that of Pop Music, and was much more mainstream in accessability.
Sly takes the approach of describing Post-Grunge as any style of Grunge music that came after 1994, or from 1995 onwards is considered Post-Grunge. The reason being is that the divide between Grunge and Post-Grunge is seen as splitting hairs during the mid 1990s, and would feel off if a band that debut after 1995 was considered Grunge, but not a band that debut in 1992.
