I saw Nirvana in a small club, I saw Soundgarden play to an audience of 50, plus a bunch of others. They were great shows, but they were simply good bands from the time they were in. Most of them (the ones that continued on) went on to make horrible, watered down crap, and most of it sounds super dated to me now. To try and extrapolate it into a "movement" is a bit of a stretch to me. Pearl Jam were ALWAYS super mainstream sounding and they were ALWAYS boring. A Movement? Not in my sphere.
