I read this as "grunge-fuck", as in perhaps what they do in Seattle (with Nirvana playing in the background) or more generally relating to earlier meanings of grunge.  I thought I'd check this on the web, and if urbandictionary can be trusted (never a simple matter) it seems like "grunge-fuck" exists but with the kind of meaning I'd associate with "grudge-fuck" rather than anything I'd associate with grunge.
