Girl: Hey! Yesterday I was on Tumblr and found some aesthetic grunge.
Boy: What's grunge?
Girl: You moron. Grunge is a dark aesthetic.

Get the Grungemug. Grunge that has been mixed with another genre to either appeal to a specific audience or so as to correctly represent the band stylistically.
The term originated as a derogatory slur for bands in the late 90's playing in the style of the early 90's grunge revolution.
However, while some bands WERE simply only using grunge stylings to either attract audiences or make money, many bands did, in fact, feel that their specific sound(s) required varying degrees of grunge influences, along with influences from other sources.
Examples:
Creed
3 Doors Down
Hinder
Foo Fighters
Trapt
Puddle of Mudd
etc.
Matchbox Twenty is not included due to the fact that the majority of their genre is a 70's rock mix, with only very limited influences from grunge.
Also, I have grudgingly included Creed on this list, simply because it is public opinion that they are not grunge simply because their first studio album was released in 1997. It is my belief, however, that Creed has an extremely large percentage of grunge influence, so much so that grunge is their most prevalent genre.

Person 1 is listening to music.
Person 2 walks up and says: God man, you're such a hypocrite for telling me you like grunge, and then going off and listening to this garbage!
Person 1: Who said that I can't listen to music that are similar? It's not like all post-grunge was made to commercially benefit from grunge!

Get the Post-grungemug. 
A subgenre of Grunge rock that does yet exist or exist but someone somewhere will eventually make. The genre is a mix of Hair Metal of 80s like Europe and Grunge of 90s like Nirvana making wild rock sound that has a combination of pop metal rawness and sub punk dirtiness.
Henry: I saw this remix of Nirvana - Smells like Teen Spirit and Europe final countdown. It was awesome 😀
John: Yeah they should make like that for real that be something new for rock music
Henry : yeah that would be awesome and we could called Feral Grunge

Get the Feral Grungemug. A musical style popularized in the mid-80s in the city of Seattle. It's a beautiful marriage of punk, metal and alternative rock. It gives a result of a dirty, heavy and noisy guitar sound and a voice pushed to its maximum spewing the emotions of the singer's personal life. The popularity of grunge is also spread in people's lifestyles and outfits. The end of grunge was marked by the death of Kurt Cobain, lead singer and guitarist of one of the most popular rock band in the world, Nirvana. Today, many alternative rock bands have been influenced by Staley's powerful vocals, Grohl's squared, loud and precise drum beats or McCready's brilliant guitar riffs.

Get the Grungemug. An apt pseudonym for the blight that is dubstep. Quiet-loud-quiet-loud, repeat ad nauseum until the drugs run out. And you thought big beat was simple and repetitive. Skrillex makes The Prodigy look like fucking Strauss.

Get the electronic grungemug.
