Pretty much. In my opinion, however, Creed most typifies the "post-grunge" movement. If I'm not mistaken, Human Clay was the first huge post-grunge album, and is probably still the best-selling. I think it's silly to say no one sounds like Creed. Sure, they're not identical to anyone else, but I'll be damned if the lyrical content or vocals or whatever else isn't very similar to some of the bands Agent D mentioned. I think, these days, it's almost impossible for any band or artist to sound wholly unique. Even oddities like The Mars Volta or Sigur Rós are still classified under certain genres, and are influenced by certain artists, and in turn influence others. After all, when the record labels determine the latest sound, they go all in. That's why today you hear a lot of punk-pop, post-grunge before it, and grunge before that. Before that, there was hair metal, and so on and so forth.
