Early Grunge Era, you could see Seattle dominate the world music. It is also bring along the fusion between Punk Rock (US Based)+ Glam Rock era = Grunge. Dr Martens, Converse, Shorts, Cut-off jeans,ripped levis jeans, oversized checked american trucks shirts,Funny+weird kind of hats and sunglasses were parts of gears for the expression.

Early stage you could see lots of heavy rock bands from USA wear shorts and simple shirts with boots. Classic example Ugly Kid Joe, Faith No More and etc. Most of the bands told, this is due lack of money to dress like rock stars.Even Jack Endino has mentioned that he only get paid couple of hundreds when he assigned to record 'Bleach' album.

However, grunge has change fashion world completely since 1991 and it is part of fashion calendar now. Alexander McQuinn, UnderCoverism, Marc Jacobs, Heidi Slimane have introduced grunge elements in their design years ago, completely thrash the runaway.
