Before anything else, let’s first discover the history and definition of grunge. It is essential to know the meaning of something before getting ourselves into it.
What is Grunge?
To begin with, Grunge is a genre under alternative rock which emerged in the mid-1980’s. It originated in Seattle, Washington. It is also an American slang term for “dirt” or “rubbish”. This subculture was also an American movement concerned with social justice. Grunge is sort of an anti-fashion response, specifically implying looking down upon the “conformity” of fashion. Moreover, it is also a form of encouragement for musicians to dress authentically rather than glamouring themselves. Grunge music usually consists of rebellious lyrics that are mostly related to social issues or relationships. The peak of this Movement involved a well-known band called Nirvana.

Starting the game up by listening to bands under this genre is particularly a good step as listening to its associated music genre starts influencing your taste in fashion. You may also find various in-depth inspirations. Welcome to the world of Grunge! Do not forget that the main point of this style is to dress recklessly! Go out and be unbothered about other people’s opinions towards the way you express yourself in clothes. Painting this mindset is a really vital step in dressing grunge! After implementing these initial steps, let’s continue with the basic guide to dressing in grunge style.

Overall, grunge fashion serves as a unique and expressive style characterized by layering, distressed clothings, messy and bold make-up, combat boots and dirty converse. As time continues running, this style also continues evolving into a versatile and adaptable aesthetic. Let us not forget that the key to mastering grunge fashion is embracing its inherent sense of rebellion, authenticity, and nonconformity.

Unleash your inner explorer as you journey through Cebu City’s back country at Pamutan Grasslands!
Steep rocky hills and tall grass, the hike to Pamutan Grasslands is not for the faint of heart, especially when it gets rainy. So, before we dive into the wonderful nature escape of the Queen City of the South, let’s have a look at your must-haves first!
5 Hiking Must-Haves
Photo from Canva
1. Sun & Rain Protection
Don’t let the weather rain on your parade! With Pamutan’s open trails, you’ll want to be ready for anything—from scorching sun to surprise showers. Pack your trusty sunblock and raincoat alongside your cap and light jacket for a weatherproof trek!
2. Water & Food
Keep your energy levels high and your thirst quenched with plenty of water and snacks. Whether you’re hiking solo or with your squad, make sure to pack enough sustenance to keep those legs moving! Pro tip: Bring along some electrolyte powder to keep you feeling fresh and hydrated throughout your adventure.
3. Cash & Loose Change
When nature calls—or when you spot a cute trailside snack shack—you’ll want to be prepared! Make sure to stash some cash and loose change in your pocket for those impromptu pit stops. After all, who can resist a refreshing sip of fruit juice or a tasty treat along the way?
4. Hiking Essentials
It’s time to step up your gear game! While running shoes are A-OK, investing in a sturdy pair of hiking boots will give you extra support and traction on tricky terrains. Don’t forget your lightweight hiking bag and moisture-wicking pants for maximum comfort and convenience on the trail!
5. Garbage Bag
As you embark on your Pamutan adventure, don’t forget to pack the most underrated item of all: a trusty garbage bag! Not only does it come in handy for stashing your trash, but it can also double as a makeshift shelter, mat, or wet clothes container. Show Mother Nature some love by leaving the trails cleaner than you found them—because being a responsible laagan is all part of the fun!
The Pamutan Grasslands Trail
Now let’s check out on the route that you can take for your Pamutan Grasslands Trail:
