Kim, I didn't listen to much grunge, but I certainly dressed in the "grunge" look
It happened that comfy clothes like jeans, flannel shirts, Doc Martens, not overly brushed and done hair, and tartan skirts
it was good the under maintenance look was "in" when I was in high school and couldn't be bothered to over do it in the girly department.
My mom and aunt didn't listen to much music so I didn't get too exposed in the 80's. However, my aunt used to like horror movies because that's how I started watching them on her VCR. She would never admit she liked those movies now, though! But there was no other way for me to watch them..... except that time my mom rented me "The Howling" when I was 7 or 8 cause I wanted to see more wherewolf stuff after Thriller. But that only lasted til the scene with the naked woman came on and she ran in front of the tv and blocked it while my brother was probably 6 and me laughed at both my mom and the fact there was a naked woman
Ahhh, memory lane!
