Grunge was just a word Johnathan Poneman used to market his label Sub Pop Records and the bands on it. He got it from a Lester Bangs article. You can use grunge to describe just a handful of records released on Sub Pop in the late '80s, records by bands like Mudhoney, Nirvana, Tad and so on.

It doesnt really mean anything though, it was just a phrase used to shift product product for a few years about 20 years ago. Nothing more.
