Are the overrated? To me personally, I wouldn't say so. The reason I think they're so highly regarded is the same reason why people see the Big 4 of thrash as being highly regarded. They, along with Alice in Chains and the like were just "those guys" that really knew what grunge was and is about.

It is a pretty well established music cliche which is why I really wanted more info about it since this is a rock oriented forum.
How would you define grunge music? Can you post some examples? When I looked some info on the genre I notice there are apparently sub genres within grunge itself.
I always thought KISS and hair metal was corny not sure why some rock fans are mad that it died off. It is actually good that it did...
