and in answer to the thread question. Nirvana didn't kill music. In fact they didn't kill anything.
And I'd hardly think of their lyrics as nonsense or their music as depressing.

Nirvana..better than the Melvins...? You need to get your head examined.

because it hink nirvana is better than the melvin's.
although i'd think your opinion is biased since you've said many times that you don't like nirvana and are partial to the melvins because they did a cover of a nirvana song

Have you heard the cover?

In your point of view Nine Inch Nails is better than Johnny Cash and he knows it.

NIN influenced Johnny Cash.

i have listened to the melvin's. i do like the melvin's. i like nirvana more.
and aside from the albums by the melvin's that i do have (but never listen to anymore) i have heard stuff off their other albums.
the fact that the melvin's covered one of nirvana's songs in my mind means that the melvin's were influenced by nirvana. (which is not to say that nirvana was not influenced by the melvins)

I agree with the last one.

If you hate AC/DC, I hate you.
