Frankly, grunge is so loosely defined that a lot of alt bands get lumped into it. I personally see alternative rock as an umbrella term for underground 80s rock bands and 90s rock bands.
I know you didn't say it but you kinda used it as a reference to give some validity to your argument and frankly you don't need to overreach like that cause the rest of your argument is pretty solid.

Nirvana did expose a lot kids like me to that grunge movement but I think that movement was bound to happen with our without them they just happened to make teen spirit and became one of the figure heads of the movement. But like I said in the beginning, they do belong on the list of the greats.
