Is it just my limited taste in Vkei, or did Vkei literally just ignore grunge in the early 90's?

(Did Grunge even have the same impact in Japan as it did in America?)

  I'm pretty sure you're right though. For some reason, grunge never took off in Japan. All the cool alternative/experimental bands didn't even think of seriously playing it, they usually went for the shoegazer or noise route. In all my (rather short) years of being a VK fan, the only band I've ever seen touch grunge was Plastic Tree, and they dropped the genre like a hot potato after the new millennium.
  
  Also, I looked up "Japanese grunge" and all I got was 1 musician. Take that as you will.

  I know the band Glamorous Honey dipped their toes into Grunge, and the nagoyakei musician Aie has grunge influences.
  
  The GazettE are definitely fans of grunge since they literally wore Nirvana patches lol. It seems as if what little Grunge did permeate Visual Kei, it was long after Cobain died and Grunge wasn't cool anymore in America.
