Grunge lit Grunge lit is an Australian literary genre usually applied to fictional or semi-autobiographical writing concerned with young people living in suburban or inner-city surroundings. It was typically written by "new, young authors" who examined "gritty, dirty, real existences", of lower-income young people, whose lives revolve around a nihilistic pursuit of casual sex, recreational drug use and alcohol. It has been described as both a sub-set of Dirty realism and an offshoot of Generation X literature. The genre was first coined in 1995 to capitalise on the success of Andrew McGahan's first novel "Praise" which had been released in 1991 and became popular with sub-30-year-old readers, a previously under-investigated demographic. Since its invention the term "grunge lit" has been retrospectively applied to novels written as early as 1977, namely Helen Garner's "Monkey Grip".
