Ideal for landing pages, saas. AI-ready template. Before grunge had a name, it had a look — photocopied flyers stapled to telephone poles outside Seattle venues, hand-scrawled setlists, album art that looked like it survived a basement flood. Nirvana's Nevermind was polished on purpose (the irony wasn't lost on anyone), but Pearl Jam's Vs. and its stark livestock photography, Alice in Chains' tripod artwork, Mudhoney's xeroxed chaos — that was the real visual DNA. It wasn't designed. It was assembled. Then David Carson blew typography apart. Ray Gun magazine (1992–2000) treated readability as optional. He set entire interviews in Zapf Dingbats. Columns bled off pages. Photos were scratched, layered, degraded. Carson wasn't illustrating grunge — he was proving that destruction was a valid compositional tool. The establishment hated it. Kids pinned those pages to their walls. Distressed textures, torn paper edges, misregistered ink — these weren't aesthetic choices born from software filters. They came from actual physical processes: bad photocopiers, wheat-paste residue, rained-on gig posters. The roughness was evidence of lived experience. Anti-design became the only honest design for a generation that rejected the slick corporate visual language of the 80s. - Density: 5/10 — Balanced - Variance: 8/10 — Expressive - Motion: 4/10 — Subtle - **Style:** Raw, Gritty, Anti-Design - **Keywords:** grunge, 90s rock, raw, gritty, anti-design, distressed, xerox, zine, chaotic, authentic - **Era:** Early 1990s Alternative Scene - **Light/Dark:** ✓ Full / ✗ No ## Colors - **Faded Black** (#2E2E2E) — Dark surface, primary background - **Dirty Yellow** (#B5A642) — Warning states, attention indicators - **Muted Red** (#8C2727) — Secondary text, borders, muted elements - **Off-White** (#E9E1D4) — Light surface, card backgrounds - **Olive Drab** (#6B8E23) — Extended palette, decorative use - **Denim Blue** (#3B5998) — Secondary accent - **Concrete Grey** (#7A7A7A) — Secondary text, borders, muted elements - **Burnt Orange** (#A84700) — Warm accent, call-to-action secondary ## Typography - **Display / Hero:** Courier New — Weight 700, tight tracking, used for headline impact - **Body:** Courier New — Weight 400, 16px/1.6 line-height, max 72ch per line - **UI Labels / Captions:** Courier New — 0.875rem, weight 500, slight letter-spacing - **Monospace:** Courier New — Used for code, metadata, and technical values Scale: - Hero: clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4rem) - H1: 2.25rem - H2: 1.5rem - Body: 1rem / 1.6 - Small: 0.875rem ## Layout - **Grid:** CSS Grid primary.
