Grunge is not a style, no matter what is said. Grunge was a term used by critics to define a style that was to differet for them to fit into one style. Even people in Seattle hated that term and how it was used. Grunge was no more than Punk Rock mixed with Sludgey Metal... Kinda like Sex Pistols meets Black Sabbath. It it's core "Grunge" was another type of punk rock. Listen to Green River, Mudhoney, Fluid or Blood Circus to name a few. Very much inspired by Punk Rock.
The two are not that different. Hole may not have fit in with the bands mentioned above.. but they still do owe a lot to punk rock.
Come on, everything about Distillers is just Hole worship. Even Brody's voice sounds almost just like Courtney most of the time.
