What the hell? are your rose tinted glasses really that thick. This whole thing of a clique of naive young bands sitting around one day and finding themselves famous ...it never happened.A few of them got signed , but they never did anything. They made maybe one or two albums that sold next to nothing and got dropped.They were also rans filling out a scene , nothing more. It happens with every scene.

once Pearl Jams Ten and Nirvana's Nevermind came out all of a sudden bigger labels were trying to sign as many grunge bands as possible in hopes of finding the next nirvana as for calling most of the bands Nirvana clones is not true listen to all of the other grunge bands and you'll see almost all of them doesn't have the same sound or even the same song writing as Nirvana.

It was all MTV friendly angst rock for which Nirvana were the catalyst ....next

Nirvana was original with everything just letting all of his emotions out as for some other bands wrote about anything and everything but it was all great stuff.

Nirvana were one of the most derivative simple bands going ,that was their appeal. They wern`t original they just stripped things back to basics & made it commerically viable. As for emotion , well thats just a typical songwriting standard that has been used for centuries I don`t see how you can credit Nirvana for that.
