A pejorative but accurate term that typically describes the average teenage tumblr or blogger user that doesn't see themselves as hipster. By using pop culture and surface references to grunge in music, fashion, and imagery they seek to appear as unique and interesting as possible (although the effectiveness of this is debatable).
Usually the content they post is stolen with all reference of the original author removed in order to promote themselves. Subject matter typically falls somewhere between artsy and trashy.

human: Hey I didn't know you listened to Soundgarden?
tumblr kid: What?
human: It's on your T-shirt?
tumblr: oh right...
human: I get it your a soft grunge kid and therefore are just in it for the aesthetic.

A style of alternative rock that evolved from grunge in the mid-90's. Post-grunge employs the distorted guitar, vocal dynamics, and lyrical tone of traditional grunge music, albeit in a more radio-friendly manner.
Post-grunge can be plain hard rock or edgy alt-metal. A few post-grunge bands, like Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, and Godsmack cross over into Nu-metal.

A term used to describe a sub-genre of rock music that has been inspired by original grunge music.
Sadly, many fans of original grunge dislike post-grunge music since they feel that post-grunge bands have "watered down" their music and made it "radio friendly" or basically in a way sold out to mainstream music. Unfortunately this is somewhat true. Just as with any genre of music, there are bands that are willing to give up their unique musical style and creativity that gives their music it's power just to make it in the music industry. However, this does not apply to all post-grunge bands.
A lot of the post-grunge sound is simply an evolution in music. Just as grunge was inspired from rock music such as punk and metal, post-grunge is an inspiration of grunge music and another genre such as metal, heavy metal, soft rock, blues, etc.......which ever the band would like to use to express themselves.
As long as the band is putting their heart & soul into their music, there is nothing wrong with a post-grunge style. Post-grunge bands deserve equal respect. Not every person will have the same taste in music.

Grunger 1: Uggghhh......I don't like post-grunge music. It sounds watered down and mainstream.....like they sold out to the music industry. It's kinda insulting to grunge music.
Grunger 2: Yeah a lot of bands have.....but not all. Some are just incorporating another style of music with good old grunge. Doesn't mean they're compromising the creativity and emotion they put in their music. They're just playing their music in a way that they feel expresses them best. Candlebox, Bush, and Seether are a few of my favorite post-grunge bands.
Grunger 1: Hmmm......yeah I think you've got a point there. I'm just not really fond of that particular sound I guess.

When a singer intentionally changes the way he phrases or sings his words, most prevalent in grunge music. (i.e. pronouncing "here" like "hurr") The worst case of grunge mouth has to be Scott Stapp of the band Creed. Sometimes a case of grungemouth can be so bad that it renders the person incoherent. Pearl Jam's "Yellow Ledbetter" is a good example. :D
Worst purveyors of grunge mouth are Creed, Pearl Jam, early Stone Temple Pilots, most recently heard with band Volbeat.

Grunge bud is some of the best bud smoked.
Also a good way for those knowing little from getting into your bud.
