Of course modern grunge still exist under the label of post grunge just like blues rock and psychedelic rock, and so on still exist in the modern era. You only have to surf youtube in order to find the music and bands. But it is nowhere as popular as it was during the early to mid nineties.
Suggesting that the core grunge bands Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots were not grunge is preposterous. All of the top Seattle grunge bands basically used the same style of depressive, etc. lyrics with their music.
I will say that the Stone Temple Pilots evolved into a more pop/rock mainstream sound and style with their music later on during the mid to late 90s.
I'm not going to tell you that all of these bands only fit under the grunge label and not the heavy metal genre, It doesn't really matter which way you go with it, it's still core grunge in the end.
