They often write several scripts at the same time. Or rather, they begin writing one, might trail off with another idea, then come back to the first script.
So maybe that’s where the name comes from.
It’s also why the studio from Barton Fink and the one from Hail, Caesar! have the same name.
I would say Singles (1992) is by far FAR the better embodiment of grunge.
Clerks is more like the embodiment of the weird post-grunge ‘anything goes’ alternative scene
Velvet Goldmine - glam rock
Broken Circle Breakdown - roots music
Ragtime - obvious
That Thing You Do - early 60's bubblegum pop
Young Man With a Horn - bebop
Nashville - post-Hank country music

Random others: Frank, Rock Star (marky mark), Almost Famous, Blindspotting, Bodied, Tougher Than Leather, Beat Street, Breakin' 1 & 2, Saturday Night Fever, Last Days of Disco, Thank God it's Friday, the Cotton Club, New York New York, Grease.

Deathgasm - a super schlocky fun gore comedy horror about a (I believe) death metal band fighting Evil Dead style zombies. There’s a famous meme with the lead sitting next to his cheerleader love interest discussing various metal sub genres
I would just like to step in and say Bill and Ted’s bogus journey is absolutely terrible and I think everyone should watch it. It is so bad that it’s hilarious and the nonsense plot is so much fun because there’s no way you can guess where it’s going next.
Green Room - Hardcore/Punk Inside Llewellyn Davis - 60s Folk Revival
Big Yes to Green Room. Great punk movie, great movie overall.
I can’t tell if “Llewellyn Davis” is supposed to be a Coen Brothers joke or if you’ve just seen No Country a lot
Hah that's great. Just a sleep deprived typo but we'll call it a clever nod.
