Jimi Hendrix was one of the many musicians who were born and raised in Seattle.
Seattle culture is quite rich and far-reaching, especially when it comes to music and performing arts. One of the most prominent displays of this is the grunge scene that emerged in the mid-eighties. The appearance of local groups such as Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam, and the founding of the Seattle-based label Sub-Pop, began the movement that rebelled against the flashy aesthetic of the 80s.
