1. They're music is inmensly overrated. I like grunge don't get me wrong I love Alice in Chains, Mudhoney, Pearl Jam, etc., but Nirvana are just put on a pedestal as "OMG DA GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIEM!!!11111" when in fact they are far far from it.
2. Kurt Cobain can't sing or write a song worth a ****. It's just the same old "oh I don't have a gun" "RAPE ME!!!!!!11111" bull****. Not to mention that some of their songs sound like glorified nursery rhymes covered up in distortion and angst.
3. They appeal to douchey scene kids, angsty teens, and 16 year old girls. My ex-girlfriend used to shove the ****ing band down my throat and go on and on about how great Kurt Cobain was and how much of an hero he was. Speaking about an heroes, haha. If she worships him so much she should go dig up his grave and do some necrophile **** to him for all I care.
4. They changed the state of rock music for the worst. Because of them, you have bands like Korn, Saliva, Slipkunt, Linkin Park, and good god no, Breaking Benjamin.
5. Their music just flat out SUCKS.
You may not like my opinion, but you're just gonna half to deal with it. =) I just plain don't like Nirvana.

Whether you think they`re overrated or not is irrelevant, what is relevant is that they are one of the most influential groups of all time and used the Pixies as their starting point, along with a whole host of other infuences.
As for calling Kurt Cobain an untalented songwriter.........well you just haven`t got a clue have you.
Douchy scene kids, angsty teens etc run after all types of groups, regardless of the group`s talent.
As said above, the reference to Korn and Slipknot is redundant and has far more to do with Mr.Bungle and metal in general.
