Once I became a man around 18 or so I found this band's music to be completely incessant pseudo ironic passive aggressive whiney/bitchy and the prototype for the modern "nu male" or "soiboi" I hate interacting with so much in the world.
Surely I can't be the only one who feels this way, I understand a certain type of...mentally ill person thinks highly of them, despite them being one of the most overhyped bands in existence who's only as praised as they are because the closet homo shot himself
Shut the fuck up Nikki Nobody cares about your Gay Ass Band
Aaron Myers
I agree they're overrated but the songwriting skills they had were really good. Cobain knew how to pick a motif and stick to it to make a cohesive song. Musicianship aside, they are pretty decent.
Carter Hall
Are you my ex girlfriend or something? Shut the fuck up, Mona.
Wyatt Diaz
are they overhyped? yes. is there music still good? yes. a lot of their creativity and songwriting abilities are overstated but they still wrote fun and simple songs that had a charming emotional intensity to them in my opinion. unfortunately, they spawned a bunch of retards who think they're artistic and creative for listening to them and made rock lose all of its charm for a few years after Kurt died.
The problem was more that Studios did to Grunge what they were doing to Glam before , oversaturation and limited Creative Control making people get sick and tired of it
Then they started doing it to Punk, NuMetal, """Emo"""
This basically killed Rock
Levi Rogers
Why are you reading that much into a simple thing as fucking music?
kys you stupid bastard
Cameron Diaz
they made great music
Brandon Bailey
In what regard? I'd genuinely like to hear what you think was extraordinary or impressive about it.
Excuse me, Nirvana never had a drum roller coaster.
you sound like you're 19 year old edgelord OP kek but i do think nirvana is overrated and their influences are better than they are and made more interesting music
Julian Walker
is this the same hair metal cuck that always makes these nirvana hate threads
William Edwards
>In what regard? I'd genuinely like to hear what you think was extraordinary or impressive about it. it gives me feels
Anthony Morgan
it was the band that got me into music in the first place so they're very special to me i love kurt cobain's lyrical style where he'd go over several different subjects in one song and create weird, disturbing, medical imagery i love how it melds punk and hard rock into accessible pop-rock it's a great band that could've reached amazing heights if cobain hadn't died
Tyler Thomas
Wouldn't that be Ogaysis? >i love how it melds punk and hard rock into accessible pop-rock Now there's a point that can be discussed...I don't really see it at all, I see their songwriting as being just dingy dirty power pop, I see no overt punk or metal...I do see a sort of Beatles influenced pop rock with a much harder edge, but to me Cheap Trick did it so much better and without being soibois.
it's not oasis because they aren't remembered as fondly... or really in general most people still like nirvana however
Colton Harris
Radiohead is a band only a certain niche of complete losers care about, Nirvana has complete mainstream acceptance
Blake Adams
people literally only remember radiohead as the band that did creep
Josiah Sanders
this.
Chase Reyes
who cares tho
Easton Kelly
Idk, go look up the numbers GnR did on their last tour. Still a huge band, always will be, maybe not in your....rather gay household, or gay club, or whatever.
Parker Fisher
i loved nirvana at the time because it was very rough and distorted but kurt's was neither '''''''manly''''''' metal growling sounds for middle schoolers nor faggy hard rock whinning for middle aged people it was kind of poppy with a nice edge to it and even when gone mainstream, the band still felt quite honest losing kurt was almost like losing a cool older brother tl;dr op is a fag
Matthew Jackson
*kurt's voice
Nicholas Lopez
Wow, you say thing that is contrary to mainstream opinion. Stunning & brave OP 10/10 thread.
Tyler Wright
based as fuck i miss my brother, bros
Oliver Peterson
Nah Nirvana is good
Elijah Moore
Nirvana killed rock music and ushered in the shitty buttrock era
Luke Morgan
We get it, you're 18 now and you reject what you liked in your adolscence. It's a common thing to occur even though it's kinda embarrassing when you get older
Christian Thompson
>tfw I want "buttrock" to have a proper definition but it's clearly just a word people who don't like the sound of distorted guitars throw around at random
Joshua Wright
it has raw distorted guitars and harsh yelling, but combined with catchy pop melodies how is it not hardcore punk meets pop-rock?
Owen Ross
This is why Nirvana is overrated. Faggots like this prime gay specimen hate metal as a whole, and somehow think this emo precursor to Nickelback was superior because it didn't offend any of their senses or remind them of real men or any hint of actual rebellion or power
Nirvana is FAGGOT music.
Matthew Richardson
Buttrock was literally coined to refer to Hair Metal you idiot
