Are there really only like 4 grunge bands

There's only 4 that are universally considered grunge, the "big 4", being Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice In Chains.

Stone Temple Pilots are usually in the conversation too, but then anything past them is usually hotly debated.

You have bands like Mother Love Bone and Green River that were by many criteria the "first" grunge bands, so I count them. Alos bands like Bush, Seven Mary Three, Mudhoney, Candlebox, Silverchair, and sometimes even Collective Soul are brought into the conversation, and I include most of them as well.

It doesn't help that there's the stupid "post-grunge" genre that fucks with everything.

Some people try to put The Smashing Pumpkins and a few other similar bands in the category, but I don't include them personally.

Edit: Oh, and of course the "super-groups" like Mad Season and Temple of the Dog.
