This book explores how grunge has been remembered by the fans who grew up with it, and asks how memory is both formed by and forms popular culture. It looks at the relationship between media, memory and music fans and demonstrates how different groups can use and shape memory as part of an ongoing struggle for power in society. 'This book is a welcome addition to academic libraries collecting in the sociology of popular music and memory.' Association for Recorded Sound Collections Journal '[Strong] does a remarkable job of historically contextualizing grunge and investigating how it is understood today... Strong's examination of how women are either denigrated or excluded from the canon is fascinating and opens up avenues for further research into the displacement of women not only in grunge, but also in rock music more generally... for those scholars who are looking for a book that attempts to situate grunge historically while also discussing its remnants in modern consciousness, Grunge is an exceptional foray into the genre.'
