Post Grunge is a sub-genre on the chart by Sam Dunn and I am uncertain why it didn't simply remain in Grunge. It could be a time period thing, or some slight deviations to the sound style.
As with the past posts this one is inspired by the Metal Evolution documentary series by Sam Dunn and Banger films. You can see past episodes of my series in the original post by scrolling to the bottom.
To me this Post Grunge sub-genre likely would have been fine just remaining in the Grunge sub-genre. I even remember thinking of bands like Stone Temple Pilots when I did the episode on Grunge. I left them out simply due to seeing that Sam had them listed in this Post Grunge sub-Genre.
Let Us Begin
I am not sure why the Post Grunge label for this, but some of the bands in the list I wouldn't have actually considered Grunge and I suppose if you are looking for a categorization it might work. These guys seem to stand on the edge of Grunge, Nu Metal, and some other things. I suspect a lot of this genre is based more around the time period they came out in than the actual sound that they have. This is all I can say on it at the moment, as it is not the clearest of sub-genres to me. It does appear to exist due to it being basically bands that first released in the 1990s.
Stone Temple Pilots
Band First Released: 1992
Nationality: United States
I know Stone Temple Pilots (aka STP) has a lot of ties into other bands from the Grunge movement, as well as to Linkin Park and some other bands. I've always thought of STP as a Grunge band.

Candlebox
Band First Released: 1993
Nationality: United States
I've listened to some Candlebox and I know some people that are way into them, but I don't have any nifty little personal stories to relate to what I've heard about them, or that I've personally done. I can say the first song I linked which is also one of their most popular makes me think of what the band Poison might sound like if they made a Grunge song, because Brett Michaels voice sounds similar. I am not saying this to bash them. I was not a Poison fan, and actually like Candlebox far more.

Bush
Band First Released: 1994
Nationality: United Kingdoms
I have heard the name Bush, but I don't recall listening to them. I know I've heard them on the radio before, as that is one common aspect of this sub-genre. It all tends to be stuff that got a lot of radio time if you listened to the right stations. I do recognize the vocalist as I think he was married to Gwen Steffani and is the father of her children. I only know this from watching The Voice. Yes, I am a metal head that watches The Voice from many different countries.
Glycerine - of course I've heard this song a lot

The Sound of Winter

Swallowed

Machinehead

Silverchair
Band First Released: 1995
Nationality: Australia
I actually don't recall ever hearing the name of this band. I am listening to them as I write this and I undoubtedly have heard some of this on the radio, though the name is not one that I recall ever hearing. It reminds me a bit of the MTV Wuthering Heights movie sound track.

Nickelback
Band First Released: 1996
Nationality: Canada
I remember hearing Nickelback for the first time and thinking how much the singing style reminded me of Metallica. I would not have ever associated them with the label "Grunge", though I might have considered putting them in Nu Metal. It all depends upon the frequency and quality of guitar solos. Yes, I have heard and listened to Nickelback. I even have some friends that were into them quite a bit. My first child was born in 1994 (though all four from my second marriage are older), so I was very much an adult and working on supporting my kids by the time this came out. By view counts this may be one of the most successful bands I've covered. I can hear the Grunge style vocals too. He has a James Hetfield quality married to a bit of that Grunge twang.

Creed
Band First Released: 1997
Nationality: United States
One of my daughters and her friend sang a Creed song at a talent show. That was actually my first exposure to them. Sadly, anytime I think of Creed now I can't help thinking of the Creed Shreds video that I refer to as Oh weee Oh. I'll show it to you at the end so I can corrupt you as well. I want to show them serious before I show the spoof.

Creed Shred (Ohh yee Yohhh) - this is comedy youtube spoof (look up shreds videos) - this is the first thing that pops into my mind now when I think of Creed. Kind of sad, but funny.

Creed Shreds 3 You Sh!t Here With Me Live! - yes another shreds... a little humor is good for people

Godsmack
Band First Released: 1998
Nationality: United States
This is another one of those bands that I thought seemed to be going for some of the Metallica vibe. So they may be Post Grunge, but they might also be Post Metallica. They are a decent band and I did hear them quite a lot of the radio as I drove to and from work.

As always with these posts. If you have additions you feel would fit this sub-genre that I left out please reply and share a link to a video or media that is an example of what you think fits. Thank you for reading.
Steem On!
