And why don't the Foo Fighters have integrity and honesty? Some of their songs explore some worries Grohl has ("Hey Johnny Park") or denounce people who have wronged him ("Let It Die" is almost universally agreed to be about Courtney Love). Dave is just a generally happier guy than Kurt ever was, so his songs tend to be happier. Is happier less honest? No. And to be fair, Nirvana has plenty of songs that aren't too serious about real experiences ("Drain You"), but they're looked at with a more depressing point of view.
