No. It's not. Grunge is a form of alternative that takes influence from metal and punk, whereas punk got its roots in garage rock. The two are not the same thing at all. They go hand in hand often because grunge evolved from Seattle's local hardcore punk scene, but grunge's ideals and sound were just as much influenced from metal and alternative. You're basically saying the two are the same. So would that make Alice in Chains punk? Or Love Battery? No way. STP? Screaming Trees? Skin Yard?
