Mark Arm apparently coined the term 'grunge', but mainly it was the media that labelled all these bands. It is a really loose term as the more hard-rock influenced bands like Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees sound nowhere near the more punk-influenced bands like Nirvana and Mudhoney.
As for a grunge revival? Just because it's 20 years after 1991 it doesn't mean that this has to happen. So far the only 'grunge revival' band i've come across is Violent Soho and they're nothing special. It's just media speculation.
