That was the point I was trying to make.

I wasn't saying it's a legitimate genre or tag, but it's commonfor grunge albums to be metal.

It's also common (and completely understandable) to call early Soundgarden metal, even if they weren't the bestexample.

Ah! You can't tell me Dirt doesn't have some serious metal influence.

Ah! You can't tell me Alice in Chains was even grunge in the first place.

Yeah, but as Tristan said, AiC were already classified as grunge.

Bands can be two genres in the same album. Besides, Layne was already in a glam metal band before forming AiC, and that influence went into AiC's music.

"Alice in Chains" was supposed to be the name of a hair band, and when you throw Melvins into the mix their music makes a lot of sense. They were a metal band with Melvins influences who gave a polite head nod to their grunge cousins across the hall.

Layne Staley's vocals were one of the leading influences in grunge. A lot of grunge bands tried to copy him. And Eddie Vedder.

Yes. But if a band is grunge, I automatically assume they're going to be influenced by that genre throughout their albums. I know about multiple genres in albums, but calling an album a genre where it has no reason / doesn't exist is just adding genres for no reason.

Alternative metal doesn't exist in one of the world's most famous alternative and metal bands that helped to bring alternative itself into the mainstream, as well as being noticably different from the others of the big 3 for it's obvious metal influence from metal bands like Melvins?
