At least reference mudhoney if you want to say some shitty band's shitty song somehow diminishes what Nirvana meant to music.

If you insist. To be fair, Arm and Cobain were friends, and Cobain always gave Mudhoney credit for pretty much inventing the "Seattle sound". Without Mudhoney, Sub Pop never gets off the ground and never puts out Bleach. They knew the debt they owed. That said, here's the difference between a band that says they don't want to be popular and a band that did everything in their power to not be popular. Mudhoney did not give a single frick and took biting the hand that feeds you to an art form not seen since the Replacements. anyway, here was there post-Cobain suicide song. And remember, they were friends (though the "you" is probably Courtney Love).



You're so tormented
Demented
Indebted
To all the assholes just like you
Who've come and gone before you
Predictable
Just plain dull
Why don't you
Blow your brains out, too?
You're so into yer shtik

You're so hounded
Ungrounded
Surrounded
By scum sucking leeches
Who will shovel your shite
Sweep your dessert
Both before and after it
Feed your ego
They never tell you no
All of you
Make me sick
You're so into yer shtik

And they're all into your shtik

Well, Mitchell's got a new girl
She's nineteen
Hollywood model
Star of the screen
She's up here
To support the scene
It's all part
Of his rock and roll fantasy

Stan was at the bar
With bandaged hands
They tried to dry him out
And he got mad
Cut his fist
Punching hospital glass
Made his myth
Now he's trapped

Susie's just a girl
Who's doing her job
That came to New York
And wanted a car
Working with the management
To the stars
Kissing arse
Is a part of her job
It's part of her job
Yeah, it's part of her job
Oh she loves her job
What the hell?
She does it so well

I'm not perfect
I've lived a life of mistakes
I'm not perfect
There's one thing I can't take
You are into yer shtik
You're so into yer shtik
And they're so into yer shtik
frick you, you make me sick
