: Nirvana's sound is absolutely nothing like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice & Chains.
I agree...but...
"Grunge" is/was a marketing term.
Secondly, those other bands only hit because Nevermind created such a stir.
Thirdly, if ya really wanna get technical, Mudhoney was the only really true "grunge" band.
Their sound evolved a bit from punk and a bit from the Stooges.
Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Pimple Toilets, etc. are rock bands,
nothing more, nothing less.
