Yeah I get it they're not the best band ever but they have some great songs and were a great rock band Sure their more popular songs might be over played but if you listen to their albums you discover a bunch of good stuff
It may not be your taste but I still can't see how so many people on here hate on them? Can anyone give a reason outside of "because they suck"
Isaiah Brooks
I don't think most people on Sup Forums hate them for their music. (Some definitely do.) I think people hate the band for what it represents in culture. It spawned a wave of edgy teenagers who have only listened to the singles and think they are "unique" and "creative" just because they've listened to Nirvana once or twice at age 13.
Isaac Walker
Because everyone else likes Nirvana.
Thomas White
This. Kids with Nirvana and Pink Floyd shirts that don't even know what they're wearing.
Jordan Ward
Arctic Monkeys too. AM is their worst album
Robert Morgan
Yeah but the music itself isn't bad. And the band had no control over it. They actively tried for the opposite to happen. But I guess it backfired.
Gavin Gomez
Yes. Yes it is. Whatever people say I am is their best album
Jackson Ward
I agree. MTV Unplugged is amazing. Now there's the "Kurt Cobain effect" when artists die any everyone shows up in droves to buy their music when it happened.
Jason Powell
That's my point. A majority isn't the music, it's faggy kids that say they're deep and special even though they are some of the most popular bands in the world.
Mason Morgan
This, most overrated album of that year.
Bentley Reed
A lot of people hate Dave Grohl
Adam Martinez
>Be me >13 >Unaware of Nirvana edgy subculture >own every album >Wears Nirvana shirts >Get called edgy >Look up word >Burn my shirt and never listen to them again That's why
Nathaniel Phillips
It's disgusting
Jordan White
Or you can just ignore that and like the music for the reasons Kurt Cobain would want you to. I'm sure he wouldn't want all these faggy kids with his shit on That's apparently one of the reasons why he killed himself (Fame and the fear of what he has become (a sellout))
Cooper Hill
Shut the fuck up Courtney
Ethan Martinez
No one kills themselves because they are famous you idiot.
Jacob Morris
courtney stop posting on Sup Forums
Joshua Bennett
Are you retarded. People kill themselves for many reasons and yes people have killed themselves from Fame. It can drive a person mad and it didn't help he had depression and who knows what else
Easton Ortiz
It's not really Nirvana. It's grunge that sucks. Nirvana is at least better than Pearl Jam. I just can't stand the scene (except for Melvins, if that counts).
Isaac Adams
Name 5.
Cameron Edwards
Yeah me too. I hate basically every grunge band except Nirvana. But I see them more as a punk band myself And I also hate how they killed rock and roll The music is good though
Jeremiah Cooper
He hole'd his head because he was on hard drugs and couldn't think clearly, plus his shit relationship with Courtney. the whole "fear of fame" thing is bullshit and is what his faggy underage fans jerk off to because they sympathize with wanting to be "underground" and different
Kurt was one edgy fuck though
Jayden Howard
Ok yeah it's a big mystery but my point remains. He wouldn't wanna see these faggy kids in shirts
Thomas Perry
>killed himself
Elijah Green
I hope this means you think Alice in Chains wasn't grunge, because they were the best band out of that scene.
Josiah Turner
I don't like them. I feel like Nirvana was outside of the scene they kinda made it because they're less grunge and more rock/punk Grunge became a genre because of how Nirvana acted. Even though it's nothing new punk bands have been doing it And then everyone started ripping off Kurts and Eddy Vedders voice Grunge was basically a way for record companies to tell people that "this band sounds like Pearl Jam and Nirvana"
Camden Ward
I think Kurt could have eventually produced some music I'd really dig, but Nirvana just doesn't work for me. I hate most punk though. Post-punk and some post-hardcore is about all the punk I can stomach. Nah. Don't care for AiC either.
Dominic Hernandez
>he fell for the suicide meme Wew lad.
Kevin Sanchez
I will admit, when i see some 14 yr old brat wearing a nirvana top, I cringe a bit, thinking they probably havent listened to much.
Doesn't mean I don't love Nirvana and revere them as one of the best bands of the 90's. To ignore their talent and hate them solely for the fact that some of their fanbase is shit is doing exactly the same thing, just being on the opposite end of the scale.
Just like the music you like, stop being so concerned with public image.
Caleb Rivera
Nirvana killed rock music, and spawned Nickleback
Ryan Bailey
so you hate soundgarden too?
Angel Stewart
Kurt had some decent taste given that he lived in a pre-internet era. Sometimes I feel kinda disappointed he didn't live long enough to see all the cool albums that have come out in the past decade or so since his passing.
As for the band, I think you can tell who is an "authentic" fan by how they dress and their age. i.e. anyone who isn't wearing a nirvana t-shirt and doesn't dress like their entire wardrobe is stocked from Hot Topic.
Jackson Russell
That was happening way before Kurt died.
Isaac Jones
Yep. Soundgarden doesn't do anything for me. Probably my favorite of the big 4, but still not my thing.
Nolan Garcia
I don't think it's necessarily a dislike for what they represent. I think it's simply that they're held up as one of the best of all time, but even cursory diggings into their influences and contemporaries reveals bands that are a lot better than they were. I think it's a backlash based on excessive hype by the mainstream and their ignorance of the context of Nirvana.
Isaiah Rivera
never cared for nirvana. decent guitar pop that came around when hair metal was shitting up the radio stations.
