what causes some alternative listeners to get filtered by nirvana? if you like bands like failure, fugazi and unwound, why wouldn't you be a fan of nirvana?
>>127896706Nirvana CLICKS on the first listen, same with the Beatles.Its accessible entry level to appreciating actually GREAT music.If something CLICKS immediately, why would you ever want to listen to it again?Its done. There was no work that went into it.The CLICKING sweet spot for me is 3 or 4 times, I can listen to one of those tracks forever.
Hating Nirvana is just midwit contrarianism>>127896878It clicks immediately because its divine intellect
>>127896706Do you really have to spam one of the most entry level bands of all time? Is your heart gonna explode if there aren't 30 Kurt Cobain related threads going at once?
>>127896986Kurt Cobain is the face of alternative and indie, the main genre discussed on /mu/ and what you see all over the chart threads and the oldest /mu/core lists. Kurt's taste and influences completely aligned with /mu/. He represents the entirety of 80s underground music and the mainstream of the early 90s. Their tv appearances and story were as iconic as it gets, so were their genre blend, guitar choices, production style and PNW mystique. It all made for a perfect product
>>127896878>Nirvana CLICKS on the first listen, same with the Beatles.>Its accessible entry level to appreciating actually GREAT music.true only for the 3 most popular songs though. Underneath they had a really cool noise punk style reminiscent of the wipers and melvins, something that could only arise out of that corner. No band from the midwest or NYC could sound that way. https://youtu.be/7E-KAP359ys?si=ZZD1vojXtQZnhgaRhttps://youtu.be/paxCkni3ahU?si=ejUYQJJNuuKM9Y-Rhttps://youtu.be/QECJ9pCyhns?si=Kwzg20lC6-HBibPEhttps://youtu.be/AqT0mnA5xPs?si=Fzu-lHd2JJYodZt9
>>127896878Ironically Nirvana hits more now than when I was a teenager

>>127897287too mathy/emoish
People only hate on Nirvana because of its normie fanbase. Even Kurt Cobain didn't like how popular it got because it was supposed to be an underground band.Nirvana is objectively a great band, anything other than that is contrarianism or revisionism.
>>127897341I see Nirvana t shirts a lot, but not even in younger circles around uni do I meet people who listen to nirvana outside of SMTS and CAYA. That probably because I'm in Europe, where noisier elements overwhelm those normies.
>>127897145he would be forgotten (or nearly so, i guess he would be remembered as the first breakthru of a new, more 'serious' youth music genre, but the byrds did that and they are nearly forgotten)only reason he's still iconic is because he offed himself.so it's cringe to award that behavior with constant hyping.
>>127896706Nirvana was PIXIES without the weirdness plus a CHAD lead singer instead of a tub of goo.
>>127897341That’s why they started crossdressing at the gigs (to upset the meatheads and drive them away)
>>127897408They’re very different. Nirvana were inspired by Pixies and definitely the fast verse slow chorus thing and some of the style but I wouldn’t say they ripped them off or anything like that https://youtu.be/FiUNDeuBbi8
>>127896878nirvana like the beatles was one of the first bands i ever liked when i was 13 years old and it wasn't till i turned 35 that i realized nirvana is one of the best bands to ever do it
>>127897491Nirvana were inspired mostly by Wipers, Melvins and Mudhoney. Pixies inspired their recording style on Nevermind and to get Albini for IU. However some songs are like homages to other bands. Territorial Pissings is a Husker Du song, and SLTS takes from Boston, Gouge Away, maybe Debaser, and probably via Butch Vig from SP's cover of Godzilla https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozs-KJS-7QQ&list=RDozs-KJS-7QQ&start_radio=1
I really like Pixies https://youtu.be/KNvMHYshktk
>>127897554Yeah cool also got me thinking how a lot of the bands in Seattle knew each other and played together they would’ve shared recs and mixtapes and stuff. There’s some Australian band that got played on college radio in Washington (the state) earlier 80s and directly influenced the grunge sound. Different times, no internet everything was regional and local and everything happened slower but more thoughtfully somehow so change seemed quicker
>>127897649I like how bands like nirvana took the sound of almost obscure bands (like the wipers) that were active years earlier and transformed it into something fresh and genre-defining. Or Pavement who took Fall's and Mission of Burma's style and turned it into a summerly slacker indie sound

>>127896706Only two albums with zero replay value
>>127897341>Even Kurt Cobain didn't like how popular it got because it was supposed to be an underground bandSo why did he sign with a major label and record a pop rock album then???
>>127899403Nevermind isn't inherently more pop sounding than Pixies or Fugazi.
>>127896706Kurt was so cute
Thanks for mentioning failure it's time I blasted Swallow again.
>>127899699This is what it all boils down to. Nirvana fans are gay and wanna fuck Kurt
>>127896706they get called grunge (which is gay) when I think they are more related to indie musicnirvana is kind of cutesy and twee and playful and those bands are VERY serious and would never shitpost or do something because it's fun
>>127900435Nah, the average male just likes Nirvana because it's a good and gateway band
>>127900471I dunno anon. Might be the case for some but every discussion about Nirvana on here is about Kurt's looks. It's pretty concerning.
>>127896706Nirvana is my favorite band
Bump
sappy and RFUS are my favorite songs
