I never really think of Grudge. Alterative rock, 90's indie and GenX are the terms that come to mind, all as equally unhelpful.

I think the period itself was important when you think of all the great bands that came out (or were exposed) in that period. I'm utterly fasinated personally with that era of music, possibly because some of my favourite records came out during that periods - Siamese Dream, Spiderland, Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. I dont believe Grunge is that important. I think its the spirit of the period generally.
