Grunge
You look like you just left a sound check, and you've never been to one.
Is this you? Only one way to find out
Take the testYour aesthetic, explained
Grunge grew out of the Seattle rock scene of the late 1980s, which hit the mainstream in the early 1990s, and its look: flannel shirts, ripped jeans, band tees, worn boots and a general refusal to try too hard. Every few years it returns, and it always looks like it never left.
You are authentic, creative and allergic to anything fake. You care more about the song than the spotlight. The roast: your "effortless" look takes 25 minutes, and you have rejected at least one perfectly good jacket for being "too new."
