post grunge pill head

a post grunge pill head is a person who used to be a grunger who as they got older, broadend their musical taste, from being all about thrashing guitars, to liking drum n bass and electro beats from artists such as 2 many dj's and the klaxons. If you can hear the sound of ambulances, wailing cats and repetitive singing (like somebody is accidently leaning on the sound keyboard) coming from your son/brother/boyfriends (insert applicable) room, it is most likely that he too is a post grunge pill head.

The post grunge pillhead will have no qualms about letting you know that you are a grunger.

Post grunge pillheads will most probably be part of woodcraft. Dont even get me started on that one.

Jack: Letty you're a grunger.
Letty: How am i a grunger?
Jack: Becasue you..like.. dont totally like the klaxons.
Letty: Yeah thats because the Klaxons are fucking awful.
Jack: Oh my God! How can you not like this song?! The klaxons are totally yah!
Letty: Shut up. You're a post grunge pill head.

Post-grunge

Grunge that has been mixed with another genre to either appeal to a specific audience or so as to correctly represent the band stylistically.
The term originated as a derogatory slur for bands in the late 90's playing in the style of the early 90's grunge revolution.
However, while some bands WERE simply only using grunge stylings to either attract audiences or make money, many bands did, in fact, feel that their specific sound(s) required varying degrees of grunge influences, along with influences from other sources.

Examples:
Creed
3 Doors Down
Hinder
Foo Fighters
Trapt
Puddle of Mudd
etc.

Matchbox Twenty is not included due to the fact that the majority of their genre is a 70's rock mix, with only very limited influences from grunge.
Also, I have grudgingly included Creed on this list, simply because it is public opinion that they are not grunge simply because their first studio album was released in 1997. It is my belief, however, that Creed has an extremely large percentage of grunge influence, so much so that grunge is their most prevalent genre.

Person 1 is listening to music.
Person 2 walks up and says: God man, you're such a hypocrite for telling me you like grunge, and then going off and listening to this garbage!
Person 1: Who said that I can't listen to music that are similar? It's not like all post-grunge was made to commercially benefit from grunge!
