If T?’s music is grunge, then Metallica is folk music.

Who cares whether they’re grunge, punk, metal, indie, folk, hiphop, soul, funk, jazz or whatever. :rolleyes:
I like them, that’s all that matters to me.
And if I had to label them, I would say Rock…

When people ask me what Therapy? sounds like I shrug my shoulders and say “Rock”. Usually it involves me doing the sign of the devil and headbanging a little just to bring the point accross.

They cross genres which makes it impossible to pin them down on any single style…that’s what drives their record companies nuts. That’s what makes them great to me though!

Does it matter? Leave it to boring music journos to try and pigeon-hole them.

If anyone asks just tell them, “They’re Therapy? and they rock. Big f**king bells”.

I’d go with that. They’re not a grunge band predominantly because they don’t play grunge music. Simple.

Therpay? is not Grunge and since Kurt Cobain shot himself I assume Grunge isn’t therapy, either…

Who ever said Therapy? was grunge in the first place?

The only thing that the bands considered grunge in the ’90s had in common was the way they dressed and the fact that they came from Seattle.

I dont think Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains etc, had much in common musically. And none of those bands have a great deal in common with Therapy? other than the fact that they fuckin rock.

(…and Therapy? have been to Seattle)

So have I - wasn’t that impressed (good sea food though) - then again, I’m not a grunge band either.

They broke through around the time of grunge, so that’s the only real connection (plus they do a fine line in goatees ;) ).

But the further we get from the grunge days, I can’t really figure out what the grunge sound was anyway. It was more of a movement/fad/trend or whatever that happened to be in complete contrast to what came before, ie: horrible hair metal. So in that regard, they may be grunge (except they’re not).

i call them the rock’n’roll killing machine… or a dude said a rock band with punk and metal influences which also fits…
you can also say a punk band with metal influences… i guess…

the thing is they are therapy?
so the best way would be to put them in therapy? department…
