It happens. We've all had crap jobs. Just be honest about it.

"It wasn't the right fit for me.
I tried to make it work, and I definitely learned a lot along the way, but ultimately I probably stayed longer than I should have.
The goals/vision of the management team and their day-to-day approach weren't aligned with mine."

I would also make sure you have a response that succinctly details what you learned from your <9 mo experience.
