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

Cover's don't mean crap.

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)

When someone does a cover it means they like the song. That's all.

If someone thinks Nirvana are better than The Melvins, thats pretty much their personal opinion, same goes for someone who believes vice versa, but being abrasive about it either way makes that band look bad, it makes people think "are all Melvins fans f*cking assh*les like these guys?", it dosen't help anything, it dosen't prove your point and it just makes you all look like douchebags, not that personal opinions can't be completely biased, and in this case Raine is likely very biased, but it's still her opinion.

Nirvana just changed the general style of mainstream music back then, not killed it.

And for the record, Pink Floyd would never cover The Foo Fighters.

In fact, Pink Floyd rarely do covers at all.

after reading this, my immediate thought was "this is the dumbest question ever." but after putting some thought into it, i think that they may have actually not killed, but definitley fatally wounded the world of rock as it was known at that time. the main rock bands during nirvana's early years were mostly hair and metal bands. so nirvana bursting onto the scene with a new sound, that basically knocked the world of rock and roll on its ass, may have forever changed the direction of the genre.
