If you mean the grunge movement that was all over the radio back in the early nineties, then it's dead. Dead dead. Don't even waste a clean fork. All that exists now are ****ty post-post grunge bands that probably have more in common with alt metal or arena rock and just so happen to kind sorta maybe sound a tad like Pearl Jam.
If you mean the grunge movement then it's even more dead. Grunge was basically just slow-to-mid-paced hardcore. Nirvana was one of, if not the only band that was actually grunge when grunge was popular. Alice In Chains was a metal band that just so happened to be from Seattle. Pearl Jam was a classic rock band that just so happened to have two guys who used to be in a grunge band (Green River, not Mother Love Bone, who was also not a grunge band). Soundgarden was grunge sure, but they were just as much a metal band with a Led Zeppelin fetish. And any band that were called grunge but were really just a Pearl Jam rip off (Stone Temple Pilots, Candlebox, etc) were really just classic rock bands that didn't have a clue. There were a few other actual grunge bands, like the Melvins, Mudhoney, or Tad, but in general they went unnoticed.
