And Nirvana fit that image and Kurt became a poster boy for a generation..

Yet in the mid to late 80's there were bands before Nirvana that never got much attention until that grunge explosion..

Bands like Sonic youth, The Pixies, Pavement, The violent femmes and others, that were doing that kinda music that became popular in the 90's

They just didn't get alot of Media exposure cause Hair metal still ruled the 80's
