I think that's because it was more of a fluid term to categorize (and later sell) some bands that had a hard time being labeled in the age of genre-specific radio ? Kind of like alternative and indie. Anyways, I don't know, the only thing I know is that the last great bad to successfully pull off grunge is this one: http://kroq.cbslocal.com/2014/02/28/311-add-ska-to-grunge-crunch-on-new-track-showdown/
This really is bittersweet. I was going to post the lyrics to One More Time by Daft Punk but I was going to change the lyrics to One More Sand, because I was raised by a pack of wild Al Yankovics, but then I chose to share this story instead. When Y2K was looming, my brother turned into a doomsday prepper, he would "prepare" for the upcoming apocalypse by making makeshift hiding spots and hoarding canned food and bottled water. You'd think this would have freaked us out but he would just be so happy about it. He even had a doomsday CD mix that featured Daft Punk's One More Time, 1999, REM and, most hilariously, J-Lo's Waiting for Tonight. He was kind of a slacker and I'd never seen him put so much energy into something with so much gusto. Anyways, that's what One More Time reminds me of. I don't know if it's appropriate to this post but I'm just glad to be watching More Sand one more time with my favorite internet people.
Remember when Kelly had two parties to attend and, luckily, they were right next to each other but she had to switch clothes between venues and pretend like she was at both at the same time?
One of my favorite all time comments came on a Downton thread. I believe it was Patrick M who said:
"I don’t understand British honorifics, but I’m 100% sure this whole series is a three-year-long set-up to a “Master Bates” joke."
And that's just a very elegant and beautiful way to make a jerking off joke, which in itself is one of the reasons VG is so great.

Do you believe there's nothing up Spin's sleeve
And nothing is cool
