Kurt sang his songs in what he was comfortable with: worn jeans, loose shirts, soft T-shirts, the famous “Krugger” sweater. No wonder that the tastes of the beloved musician were adopted by a whole generation of fans.

And in those years, young people were attracted by the gloomy content, the rejection of the adopted rules, the rejection of excessive decorativeness and luxury in favor of freedom, practicality and shocking.
In the old days, grunge style fans dressed upin shabby jeans, coarse boots, embroidered with metal spikes and plaques, leather jackets and T-shirts with portraits of favorite rock musicians. It was not so easy to distinguish a guy from a girl, especially from a distance. After all, even the hairstyles were about the same: long hair could be pulled together with a rubber band or simply spread over the shoulders.
