Elisa Posted April 2 Posted April 2 The thing with Nirvana is that the profound cultural influence of their music justifies all the attention they receive. No one at the time wrote a single song that reshaped culture or evoked even a fraction of the intense response Kurt Cobain achieved. His melodies stirred deep emotions, his raw vocal delivery amplified that impact. Like them or not, Nirvana’s recognition is well-deserved imo. 4 1 Quote

I’m starting to think of them less as overrated and more so just being blown away on how they had such a big impact in such a short amount of time. There were only 938 days between the day Smells Like Teen Spirit was released and the day Kurt killed himself. That’s barely over 2.5 years! That would be like if Tom or Mark offed themself a couple months after the release of TOYPAJ (looking at a timeline starting of the release of WMAA when they really blew up). It’s just nuts to me what Kurt did. Speaking of Green Day, Kurt was a walking contradiction. 1 Quote
thongrider Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I think I dislike Kurt's voice and the production. I like the Beach production and In Utero, but I only like the songs on Nevermind. I'd definitely like Nevermind more if it sounded more like Bleach or In Utero. Quote

I could have easily called that you would say exactly this lol. Your contrarian takes are becoming so predictable that they aren’t contrarian! I don’t understand why Kurt bitched about Nevermind’s production. It’s not like it had a bunch of 808s and fake bullshit on it. Still sounds like a real rock album to me! Quote

Short dudes can fight. Billie grew up in an actual punk rock environment. I guarantee he could whoop someone like Scott who just listens to shit wannabe pop punkers while ripping on legends because he’s a clown. Mike Ness is short and in his 60s, he jumped into the crowd and beat up a Trump supporter at a show just like 4 years ago lol Quote

It seems like Nirvana was so much bigger. Nirvana had hit singles all over the world. But in the US Dookie almost sold twice as much as Nevermind. Is it about GD fans being middleclass and being able to afford the album? And more people pirating Nevermind? Whereas worldwide the two albums have sold almost equally as much. So Nirvana is much bigger worldwide than Dookie was. But Green Day didnt have a mainstream hit single before Minority in the US, but their singles were chartbusters in Europe. Whereas Nirvana had hit singles everywhere. Did GD not release singles in the US? American pop music is weird as hell. (Maybe this post is more suitable for the GD thread I dunno) Always baffles me. Nirvana was a rock/grunge sound. That is more popularized outside of the States as much as it is in. Green Day is socal-pop punk. That is supremely a US & Lake-less places like Australia. 1 Quote

And focused on airplay in the US. I remember reading a book about punk in the UK in 1990 and I was shocked how popular they were there even before Kerplunk came out and that just skyrocketed with Dookie. Quote
