The 90's
did have a great sound: Alternitive. Nirvana, Alice in chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, I could go on and on and on.
I
hate f*cking nickleback! They (and others) are nothing but mere copies of (and not even good copies) Nirvana and ride on they're success.

They're not that hard to understand, Kurt Cobain was a pretty literal lyricist. He was not a good lyricist, just because he uses fragmented sentences doesn't make them 'cryptic' and if whiny singing is 'unique' then okay, he was a very 'unique' vocalist.

When you tell me the meaning of Heart-Shaped Box by just listening to it, I might believe you. IMO he was a
very good lyricist and an inspiration for me personally as a songwriter. As for his singing, I can't blame you. Many people don't like it, but I do personally.

Yeah yeah, Kurt Cobain went on and on about how great underground music was it doesn't change the fact Nirvana was a band marketed and made for the radio. I've heard every Nirvana album, including the box set so don't go and tell me what I need to listen to to 'get it' or have an 'educated opinion'. Nirvana were the Motley Crue of the 90s.

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, Stain, touretts, Rape me, I could go on and on.
Cobain really disliked it when the industry messed with his music. He once strummed and sang the opening bars to "Rape me" at the MTV music awards, even though MTV was shocked and appalled at the song, and they tried to force the band to play "Smells like teen spirit". In the end, they muttally settled on "Lithium", but Cobain wanted to the world to get a taste of they're new song.
