Why is this such a big deal? Who cares if any band was grunge or not? STP started by riding the grunge wave but ended up with their own little area in music. It doesn't quite matter if someone copied another band or not to be considered that kind of music. Smashing Pumpkins were considered grunge because Billy was loosely linked with Nirvana but after Siamese Dream came out they pretty much completely tore themselves from the label. Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam...they were and still are considered grunge.
