You're still being condescending as all hell for no reason.
I did not say that you disagreed with Seattle being the birthplace of grunge, I'm aware that you just don't like the "Seattle Sound" having the word Seattle in it and being synonymous with grunge, I said there's nothing you can do about it.
Of course many different styles of music have come out of Seattle, but that doesn't mean people consider them to be related with grunge.
Also, if you don't agree with grunge being a genre, why are you referring to it as a style of music?

he's right. Seattle is associated with "grunge" because in the early nineties there was HUGE HUGE music scene in Seattle where the kids really loved the new bands and all the shows and Seattle became known for that. And since a lot of those bands DID indeed come from Seattle, I don't see a problem with referering to it as the Seattle sound if you are referring to Seattle bands. Of course other bands from other places were dumped into the grunge category as well and that probably has more to do with the timing of the release of their albums than anything else(I'm thinking Ten here, even though they're from Seattle, they had a different sound than say Nirvana), but all those bands had a raw, unique sound that hadn't been labeled before.
