If Nirvana were the death blow those bands did the damage first.
Yes and no. Over here those were bands that the hip kids were into but were just kind of curiosities in the mainstream youth market. I'm a little confused by your inclusion of Monster Magnet though. Maybe they got big over there early, but I had never even heard of Monster Magnet until about 1997.
