Nothing is wrong with being simple. But it sure as hell doesn't make you the greatest guitarist. If Johnny Ramone spawned Greenday (and a variety of other music) then why does it start essientially right after Nirvana. Green Day becomes popular about 1994 that's the exact year Nirvana ends. Of course Green Day is influenced by the Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash and I'm sure many other Punk bands, but Nirvana popularized the ultra simple music.
