According to Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language (copyright 1975), the definition of "Grunge" is "dirty, messy, slovenly," none of which sound very appealing. The definitions of "Distressed" are even worse.
There was a "Distressed Art" group swap on 8/25/16 you can refer to for some ideas:

Definitions aside, here are a few suggestions for fast, easy art techniques (and cautions) for creating up to 4 post cards for this swap's theme:
Over-stamping, blurred images
Paint-spattering
Torn paper
Overlapping images
Collage elements glued on and partially ripped off before completely dry
Random lines and scribbles
Smudges
Coffee rings?
Water spots?
Bits of junk mail? Or we could save that for another swap.
IDEA: Take a piece of your mail art that you didn't like enough to send in, add more layers/marks/designs/collage, and VOILA!
