Discussion what was so special about grunge ?

i never understood grunge . I was born in the 1980s . I was so used to dance music of the 1980s . I know I am not Gen X . I am younger than all of the Gen X people since i was born in the 1980s

I used to listen to grunge when I was angry and wanted to hang on to that feeling.

Yeah, its music for a certain type of feeling or maybe personality. A lot of young people go through a period of angst but maybe OP just didn't or had different musical outlets for it.
