    Can I be grunge with eyeglasses?

    Of course! Grunge is pretty much the 'I don't really care about what the world thinks of me' style. If you wear glasses, you can totally pull them off with your grunge look. Even Kurt Cobain wore glasses occasionally!

    Ebba Mattsson

    Anything can be grunge. It would help if the pants and shirt looked worn down, and don’t forget the accessories. Colourful nails could work well as an accent colour, just make sure most of the outfit isn’t to colourful.

    Peyton Renee
    Community Answer
    You can wear light blue shorts, and you can do anything you want. The grunge look is based off how you don't care what society and the social norms think. To look even more grunge you could pair the shorts with a baggy tee with a band on it or just neutral colors will look great.

  • Question
    Do I even have to act like I don’t care and stuff around my family?
    Willow
    Community Answer
    You don't have to act like that at all, because being grunge isn't about not caring about anything, it's about being yourself and not caring what others think if it''s truly you. You also don't want to get in trouble for having an attitude with your family, so it's probably not a good idea to pretend like you don't care about anything around them.
