If Kurt Cobain hadn't tragically taken his life, I can't imagine Nirvana not fading away like nearly every other similar band from that era. The vocals sucked, the songwriting was corny, the actual instrumentals were boring.
They're like the precursor to 00s butt rock where vocalists just make that "hyeeayugh" noise. --- [obligatory signature] ... Copied to Clipboard!

it's true. punk is literally the worst genre of music of all time. And it's exactly why he said. Boring instrumentation, poor vocal range, edgy songwriting, poor musicianship. The only thing it has going for it is lead guitar. ... Copied to Clipboard!

In my opinion, they're held it such high regard mainly because Kurt died before they had a chance to start making bad music.

Would've happened either way, just look at today's music charts, 99% suckage. Yeah but just because their music wouldn't "chart" doesn't mean they would've faded away. Maybe from the mainstream, but not from making music or performing/touring. Look at Pearl Jam. Opinion of their music aside, they've been relevant enough to do full stadium tours basically every other year. Selling out 40-50,000 seat ballparks all across America despite not being mainstream relevant in 20 years+. Shoot, pre-pandemic, Billy Joel was literally selling out Madison Square Garden ONCE A MONTH for 6 straight years (2014-2020), despite not putting a new album out since 1993. Being mainstream and staying relevant are two totally different things. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Every band with a dead frontman always prompts weird edgelords like TC. A week ago some kid claimed Linkin Park wasn't even popular anymore when anyone with functioning eyeballs and ears knew that wasn't the case.

I hate hate HATE Nirvana, but youre talking about things that are so far beyond your understanding if you want to try to say they weren't massive when Kurt died. Nirvana was and still is EVERYWHERE.
That music genre is not the hot new thing anymore, yet you can still go to a college campus and see Nirvana shirts everywhere. I don't like Nirvana, but I cant say Id prefer the view with my head stuck up my ass. --- This is a cool sig ... Copied to Clipboard!

I dislike Nirvana songs as well, but Nirvana was still pretty mainstream even before Kurt Cobain died. Obviously it did leave a more everlasting impact on their legacy, but they were still pretty relevant even before then.
