Information
has gloss	eng: Grunge speak was a hoax created by Megan Jasper, a sales representative for Sub Pop Records. Under pressure from a reporter for The New York Times who wanted to know if grunge fans had their own slang, Jasper, 25 at the time, told the reporter a set of made-up on-the-spot slang terms that she claimed were associated with the Seattle grunge scene in the early 1990s. The information given by Jasper appeared in the sidebar of a November 15, 1992 feature article of the New York Times. The sidebar, titled "Lexicon of Grunge: Breaking the Code", mistakenly said that Jasper was working for Caroline Records.
