Skate Punk isn't even consistent like the other ones (Straight-Edge Punk, Queercore, etc.) Now, people usually use it to refer to pop-punk acts, such as blink-182 and Sum 41, but it's also used for hardcore punk.
I'd say the same thing goes for Grunge. I was listening to a BTBAM song on YouTube, and there was a whole discussion going on about how Grunge isn't a real genre, or how it can pretty much mean the same as punk. It just doesn't work.
