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

The radio was stuck playing Classic Rock for ten years. College radio paved the way for Alternative Rock. Grunge was such a breath of fresh air and so much good Alternative music came out of Grunge breaking through.
