Last night I was in a hipster bar in DC and noticed multiple appearances of buffalo plaid. A resurgence of grunge can be but moments away.

However I did succumb, for a time, to the Guatemalan textile thing in the 80s, which was probably worse than grunge due to its self-righteousness about supporting the grassroots and whatnot.

On the other hand, they're a tad more metal than grunge, but there's a heavy dose of grunge for sure.
