“It’s not thriving anymore. I haven’t been to Seattle for a long time now because of the touring. And we actually grew up about 60 miles away from Seattle but the past year, there hasn’t been a band which started out, which really caught my attention at all. All the Seattle bands like Tad, Mudhoney, Soundgarden are leaving Seattle to tour and they are getting signed up by the majors too.” - Kurt Cobain on the “Seattle Grunge scene”, 1992.
