Meet the Black woman who created grunge

[JadeB]

nikkas clearly don't know what grunge sounds like. This sounds more like New Wave mixed with post punk.

It's widely agreed that it's early grunge

sadly, it's the same story - pioneers rarely get rewarded

Exactly

And not one post from a coli queen
They love chaos and dikk watching threads
But actual threads acknowledging black women pioneers
Them hoes quiet as a church mouse
And y’all love giving them birds attention like they really wit it

How in the world am I just now hearing about this woman?

We literally created every popular aspect of American culture.

 

[TripleAgent]

Why am I not at at all surprised...

I just ran back a few songs and I don’t see it. I guess you might be able to make a connection with the guitar playing, but a lot of grunge took from and punk and metal. Big stretch.

What kinda son did she give birth to? Dead for weeks in her apartment before she was found? And he’s an award winning documentary maker and didn’t do a documentary on his own history making mother?

Yeah, that was pretty suspect.

How cool was she?

Cacs just love to steal from black people. It’s sick.

Grunge was always heralded as enlightened and socially aware music but it’s clear that it had a strong race and misogyny problem. The erasure of black people and particularly black women from punk and punk adjacent culture has been so weird. Black Americans made rock n roll and influenced everything from punk to metal to industrial to alternative but Black Americans aren’t even found in any of the aforementioned scenes except for small numbers.

America is a sick place. The next big musical innovation of Black America must be gatekept and monetized for the benefit of Black Americans

Black People say they hate Capitalism, so most likely it will never happen

Sounds like pretty much ALL the post-punk music from that time, so, all post-punk could be considered early grunge by that criteria......​

​

This is just a couple tracks from the early years of MTV that I remember.

With that said, I acknowledge that she was an early pioneer, but naming her the 'creator' is a bit of a stretch.​

One of my favorite genres



Not surprised it’s stolen


It’s really too good for cacs to have invented it
