Black Hole Sun
Seattle rock classic
Black Hole Sun is a 1994 rock song by the American band Soundgarden, one of the defining tracks of the grunge era.
The title combines cosmic imagery—a black hole that consumes rather than illuminates—suggesting apocalyptic darkness or existential dread.
The phrase has become shorthand for that era's sound and aesthetic.
