I think some people take the band in the wrong way, that's why they don't like them:
It is not about Kurt being the reluctant hero of his generation and similar...I suggest to stop giving attention to those definition as they were all written after Nirvana's crucial years.
What's great is the union of pop melodies and soft/low guitars: you can find yourself singing entire parts of Lithium, About A Girl or almost any other song... seems nothing special but it doesn't happen often and it's the main reason why bands from every genre of music become popular.
When I stopped trying to feel like Kurt when listening and started paying attention to the flow of his songs I realised they were an incredible band.

Where's the next Nirvana?
