Nirvana got everyone out of hair metal. Groundbreaking, but still overrated. Yes, there is a slight difference.

Do some research on how many artists that followed credit Kobain as their biggest musical influence and get back to me. Overrated? Wow.

He was. Nirvana wasnt even the best Seattle band.

I can barely play guitar and I figured out their songs pretty easily. Still good stuff but plenty of punk bands did it before them.

Imho of course.

Yes. Makes sense too. Nirvana spawned a musical change but the music itself wasn't anything revolutionary.

Yep. One COULD hold the same argument for NWA. Public Enemy came before them (and Grandmaster Flash before that) with social commentary rap. Now, I love NWA, but they are a bit overrated. They just happened to hit at the right time with the right song. However, NWA is considered the flashpoint for that sort of rap.

It's not even my opinion - it's what I discovered over time during a YT rabbit hole a few years back. I might argued the same as some of you before that but not now after hearing from his peers.

I like Nirvana. My favorite grunge band is Alice in Chains, though. While I don't worship Kurt and Nirvana like some do, I don't think they are overrated. I just don't have the same opinion. They were incredibly influential.

Hipster would be if we were trying to one-up our cred with each other by naming local bands no one has ever heard of.

Where do old uses of the term "hipster" leave off and newer ones take over?

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,
starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for
an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection
to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night
. . . .

Best thing that happened to rock was Kurt's demise.
Without that theres no Foo Fighters.
