Honestly I can never get my head around why people thought grunge was a genuine genre. Sure, the groups all pull from similar influences and have the same production, but none of them sound too much alike other than that. They all fit more neatly into other genres.
It was more of a marketing term for labels really, or a descriptive word for distortion. But if distortion is the only characteristic of grunge then
a lot should be classified as grunge.
