Bleach is the perfect example, distorted dirty bassy rock, with pop and punk influence. Green River, Mudhoney, The Melvins, were all grunge, but Nirvana's Nevermind was not grunge.
In my opinion only Deep on Ten was a "grunge" song with the rest being classic hard rock, and only "4th of July" on Superunknown by Soundgarden was also grunge, but Badmotorfinger has much more elements of grunge.
Mother Love Bone was glam/hard rock, Soundgarden was/is metal as was/is Alice in Chains.
The longer the solo's the less I would class it as grunge.
At the time no one who liked "grunge" was calling it grunge until MTV started calling it grunge after Nevermind blew up.
Like most people who were into heavy rock from the late 80's to the mid 90's I love some of the bands, I dislike some of the bands and the rest are ok. Grunge is a white elephant. There is no such thing, there is just rock.

Grunge = Sludge Pop.
