Alright ****it...I suppose this it's what's so fun about internet forums anyway...
I think its people like you that put me off even more about Nirvana.
That's a rather revealing statement.
So it's what people say about Nirvana that's behind your dislike, not Nirvana themselves?
You speak about him as if he was some sort of God that did the ultimate justice in music.
The word "god" does not appear once in my post. Nor does the word "ultimate".
I pointed out some of things Nirvana had to say when they hit, and its significance to those of us that love the band.
I assumed from your OP that's the information you were looking for, since you actually asked for that exact information.
The band even admitted to lacking a lot of musical talent.
As did I when I mentioned their simple compositions. Not once in my post do I site Nirvana's "musical talent", as you put it, as what was (and remains) so appealing about the band.
All that fluffy stuff you told me about "they were real" and "their music spoke to a generation" is just nonsense to me.
I never once said either of those things. What are you talking about? You're not addressing the points I made and you are misquoting me...apparently in order to fit your square peg hate into my round hole argument.
Say what you want.
Well, thanks!
And your kind of people always speak about the hair bands before them as if its a fact that they were fake and talentless.
I have no idea what on earth you mean by "your kind of people". And hair bands, generally speaking, were fake and talentless. *shrug* I have no idea what that has to do with Nirvana. I made no such comparison at any point in my post.
I think grunge/alternative was a bunch of hype.
Perhaps it was. I have no idea what that has to do with Nirvana and their influence on pop music (and beyond). Please elaborate.
Sure, it changed music, but in a bad way IMO. It turned rock into a pitty party full of emotional alternative stuff. Not that thats a bad style. But its all people wanted to play after that. Gurnge/alternative brought about a very loser-ish vibe to the music.
Well, is it a bad style or isn't it? You're all over the place. I do remember there being a pushback as early as '95-'96 toward bands such as Pearl Jam and Soundgarden...and I think that had to do with their over-saturation of the waves, especially when Temple of the Dog resurged and 'Hunger Strike' got a lot of play...but I still fail to see what any of that has to do with Nirvana's mark on the landscape.
I could point out at least 10 artists from hair bands who are better lyricists, better musicians, and ultimately deserve loads more credit than the overrated hype that is Nirvana.
Which hair bands? Which songs? Which lyrics?
I'd love for you to actually point them out, provide examples, etc.
so don't take my opinion as the word of God.
lol no worries there...
