Green River is considered to be the first grunge band, and they formed in 1984. Two of the members are now in Pearl Jam.
I disagree fully about when each genre peaked. By you needing to tell us the history of emo, it shows it wasn't that big during the '80s. I am assuming more people know who Weezer and Pedro The Lion than the stuff put out in the '80s (I can't name any, but I'm not exactly someone who could name anything modern either). If you meant the quality of the music, then I wouldn't be able to weigh in there. I don't listen to either genre ... pretty much at all.
