Oh, I don't know if that's a pre-existing term or not, I was just saying that I don't think PJ's sound that different from other alternative rock that preceded them. The comparison that comes immediately to mind is Jane's Addiction. In retrospect, PJ and JA have a fairly similar sound, but JA was a little older (and arguably a bit artsier too).
