Rezensionen

'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.'
