Hmmm... How bout Groove Grunge? Slacker Jazz? :)

Seriously, aside from a bit of attitude, I don't see much a connection
between Grunge and Trip Hop;
Grunge is an American invention (how insulting, huh? Imagine, putting it
right next to things like the electric light bulb and the airplane...), and
specifically a Seattle thang; Trip Hop being a British invention,
specifically a Bristol thang...

Aha! I got it! How about, "Breakbeat Blues?"
