A band often claimed to be over rated by idiots who don't recognize talent (most commonly Nu-Metal fans, hip hop fans, etc.) Put an end to shitty music for a few years, but then it inevitably returned when Cobain comitted suicide.

one of the best rock bands of all time. kurt cobain, krist novoselic and dave grohl had tried and suceeded in what so many other bands had failed to do...make music that appealed to a large variety of people. even the vast majority of hip-hop and rap fans can't deny that "smells like teen spirit" was in a league of its own.
it just wasnt smells like teen spirit, it was the other, more "unknown" songs that kurt wrote that appealed to the disenfranchised youth in particular. look at the lyrics in something in the way...i bet you any money 99% of teenagers have thought about being in a place like what kurt is describing...a cold, wet, unrelenting homeless existence. by the way, it is untrue that kurt himself had been homeless, sleeping on the banks of the wishkah river.
truly one of the best and most influential bands of all time
if you listen to a nirvana album, you will find a state of nirvana

Nirvana, the seattle grunge band that defined a decade, the band that set the standard of punk and grunge all at once. A small time band from Aberdeen, WA, Nirvana consisted of Kurt Cobain, a man that was perhaps the greatest and most demented who ever lived,on guitar and vocals, Krist Novoselic on bass, and David Grohl on drums. Nirvana made its debut with the Bleach album. It was originally printed with merely 6,000 copies, which sold out almost instantaniously. The Nevermind album was the huge catapult to stardom and included the song Smells Like Teen Spirit. In a tragic, but fitting ending to this band of anti-conformists, Kurt Cobain committed suicide in April of 1994.
Kurt Cobain was the vocalist and lyricist of the band, Nirvana.

A band that originated in the early 90's. Claimed to be overrated bt many but I think that it's the people who own simply 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and 'Nevermind' that make the band overrated. 75% of the Nirvana's so-called fans have never even heard of 'Outcesticide' (one 'fan' simply saying "Oh! You mean "Incesticide") or even sometimes 'Bleach.' It's these people that make this talented band overrated, as do the critics who base their opinions on 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' alone. Nirvana were a talented and amazing band and, wether love them or hate them, it's quite hard to deny that fact.
R.I.P. Nirvana
Grunge will live again....

The band that kicked a hole in the 80s and let the 90s in. 'nuff said.

1. A state of enlightenment which Buddhists achieve when they have good Karma.
2. An extraordinarily brilliant Grunge rock band lead by Kurt Cobain, whose death is unknown but is predicted to be suicide. Their most successful release was 'Smells like Teen Spirit' but they also released plenty of other brilliant songs.
1. (Can't think of an example)
2. Oh god. More pop, rap and R&B songs. Can't we just have another Nirvana come along and save us?

Seattle rock band that put a lot of guys wearing spandex and playing Charvel guitars out of employment until Kurt Cobain blew his brains out, thus making it safe again for bands like Poison and Motley Crue to start putting together reunion tours upon realizing that kicking cocaine and alcoholism isn't good enough to make people like you again.
There are numerous allusions to bodily fluids, excrement, and urine on many of the Nirvana albums. The fact that people would rather listen to that than "Cherry Pie" says something.
