Post-grunge is a very diverse subgenre of
rock music that emerged in the mid-1990s immediately following the downfall of
grunge music as an offshoot. It is characterized by its radio-friendly style, distorted but often simple guitar
riffs and "soft verse, loud chorus" song patterning. At the turn of the millennium post-grunge began to experience a stronger resurgence as bands like
3 Doors Down,
Nickelback and
Creed began to gain popularity. Many of these newer bands alienated fans of the original grunge and early post-grunge sound and are often referred to or even self-identify simply as either alternative rock or "
modern rock," rather than as post-grunge. While there are exceptions, many post-grunge groups do not explicitly refer to grunge bands as influences. Rather, they often cite as influences those bands that influenced the development of grunge itself, such as
The Melvins and early hard rock acts such as
Led Zeppelin and
Black Sabbath. However those bands show less of a relation to these "influences" making them more of idols than the true influences they were for grunge bands of the early 90's.
