it's not that nirvana killed music, it's the people around nirvana that blew it up that killed music. the whole "grunge" scene was just way too much, and something that would've been better appreciated had it stayed underground. it obviously became a marketing machine towards the likes of pop music in the 80's, why do you think it got so huge. you have one talented group of guys, and all of sudden everyone in the industry needs to find someone that will match that success. i can't even get through an entire nirvana album anymore without getting annoyed with it.
....to be honest, they ruined sonic youth for me.
