Well, the whole point of Nirvana is to reject Baby Boomer rock n roll. So traditional rock fans SHOULD hate Nirvana... they were attacking you. Pearl Jam was just an arena rock band who fit comfortably in the long tradition of rock n roll, and Soundgarden was a metal band. A good metal band, but still a metal band. If "grunge" never happens, those bands would easily fit in another narrative.

Alice in Chains was also truly revolutionary, but only after they went through their hair metal phase, came back to Seattle, and were heavily influenced by Nirvana and Mudhoney. Hence them pissing on copies of Facelift on the back of the Sap EP. If Sub Pop doesn't happen, Alice never makes Dirt.

My wife and I were 17/16 when Nevermind came out. She tells great stories regarding the Melvins as she's from Montesano, WA. They were named after a clerk from the local Thriftway. Without a doubt, a hugely influential band.

The Mel-Van (tour van) just sold this past year to some dude in Ireland for insane amount of money. Cobain's artwork and other graffiti is plastered all over the inside of it. Hell, everybody in town knew what the Mel-Van was
