If there’s a Seattle sound, then it's the sound that was powered by Sub Pop. Known to the world as grunge, it turned the sleepy north-western city into the epicenter of guitar music for years, and gave the rock world one of its most enduring icons in Kurt Cobain.

In conversation at the 2005 Red Bull Music Academy, Sub Pop's Carly Starr, Mark Arm and Megan Jasper tell us about the label’s growth and the city’s transition, of the storm that was whipping up around them and how they survived once the public eye turned elsewhere. It’s an incredible story of how indie labels grow and adapt in an ever-changing musical world.

    nice video, we need more like this, a part of seattle sound history, very statisfied
  • @edwardbliss8931
    We need something like this again, but I'm not seeing a reaction or backlash towards commercial pop, and this has me concerned. The mainstream now is just as shallow and formulaic as it was pre-grunge, even worse, but people are too glued to their smartphones to care about a revolution

    1:01:40 Nah, "In Bloom" (Spring 1990) was produced by Butch Vig, and also "In Bloom" (Spring 1991) was as well.
  • Thanks.... viva a sub pop, e todo esse universo profundamente incrível. ✌✌🙏🙏
  • @fantasybum438
    Is there a "published on" date for YouTube? This whole thing is super confusing for super long...and I still have no idea when this whole tiny symposium thing was done...the comments are from 4 yrs ago to 11 months ago, so I assume this thing occurred in 2018 or so?

    Megan Jasper's irritation at people who didn't wear the uniform getting into the music was like something you'd read in the Onion.
  • @AtacamaHumanoid
    Did Carly on the right ever speak? I skimmed through and never saw her do any speaking. Not even at the beginning when the host was asking what they did at Sub Pop. For some reason, he just never asked her and she seemed very OK with that.

    33:00 What's so bad about people from elsewhere, having a surface level interest of your local culture?
  • @123612100
    I feel bad for this scene. They always have to deal with the posers bringing up nirvana.
