In the 90s grunge decade, indie style of classification did not exist (correct me if I am wrong). I have never heard of the term indie/punk. Alice/Soundgarden were in the grunge/alternative category, along with Nirvana. You must know more about this decade of music than I do evidentally, because I do not confess at knowing everything there is to know about the industry. I thought that Pearl Jam was a grunge band also. I guess you learn something new everyday. Not to be sarcastic, but I believe that you classify music within your post modernist perspective & personal taste.
