I feel like there's definitely some overlap between grunge and post-grunge, and Pearl Jam falls somewhere in there. However, Pearl Jam also sort of feels like Alternative Metal in the vein of Alice in Chains.

I think people have trouble understanding that some metal can be less heavy than some rock, especially some alternative rock. Pearl Jam definitely has a lot of metal influence, I can hear a lot of Alice in Chains in the louder bits, and a lot of Tool in the quieter parts. But Nirvana, IMO, is much heavier than Pearl Jam, but beyond that, Nirvana has very little in common with metal.

On a slightly different note, anybody hear the similarities?

Especially in the chorus of HSB and the middle section of MIL, seriously similar.
