I love how these threads commemorate how that decade of music influenced our lives and I'm really glad you pointed this out.
To me, the term grunge always seemed to be a media hyped label attached to the music of the time. You're damn right it's all rock though.
Like DC said, grunge seemed to attach itself to the style of music that expressed the youths' angst in that era. I wasn't smart enough to appreciate the lyrics as much then, but the sound always tugged on my heart strings and made me want to delve deeper. Learning the meaning of these songs maturated the though process and helped to appreciate the lyrics more.
The time of social media and endless apps is upon us and I think has a strong relationship with the current music scene.
It depended on the band. I forget what program was exploring it, but it was essentially how Punk Rock morphed into New Wave, which morphed into Alt Rock and some Grunge. So, as people tend to want to associate with good things, a lot of punk rockers saw Nirvana more as a punk rock band than anything.
