Hype! is a 1996 American documentary film directed by Doug Pray about grunge music in the Pacific Northwest during the early to mid-1990s. The film incorporates interviews and rare concert footage to trace the development of the grunge scene from its early beginnings in neighborhood basements to its emergence as a pop culture phenomenon. The film attempts to dispel some of the myths of the genre promulgated by media hype by depicting it from the point of view of people who were active in the scene. The film portrays this mythos in a satirical way while acknowledging that it was media hype that helped propel many of these obscure bands to fame. Hype! premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 1996, where it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary, and was theatrically released in the United States on November 8, 1996.
