That, they were, but yeah, they were definitely not a grunge band. For one they came from California and started up in the mid-eighties.

Mudhoney were definitely the most underrrated of the seattle grunge scene, and Early Soundgarden even though they preceded the movement by about 10 yrs.

Sonic Youth were very much proto-grunge. They were a huge inspiration for Mudhoney and Nirvana in the early days.

Grunge was a movement. Not a sound. That bands like Nirvana got ideas from Sonic Youth means absolutely nothing, except just that. They also got ideas from Pixies, and other American Indie/College Rock bands. Does that make them all "proto grunge"? Just the term "proto grunge" seeks to indicate that the grunge movement was more significant than college rock and the American underground. It wasn't. It's the other way around. Grunge was an offshoot of those genres. They were not precursors to grunge.

More importantly, SY had nothing in common with the grunge culture, and the majority of bands (maybe the whole lot) sounded nothing like them at all.

Why stop at Sonic Youth

Why not call all No Wave 'proto grunge'?
