They definitely "bro"-ed it up a notch, but that distinction goes to Garth Brooks.
However, if anything, Nirvana is responsible for Bro Country for moving mainstream rock music away from anything popular with teenage girls. When rock wen completely underground around 2005, there was still a subset of musicians who loved classic rock, wanted to play something that would get them laid, and were willing to sell out. The kids playing Bro country today are the ones who would have been playing Nickelback 10 years ago, pop/punk 20 years ago and would have been playing Hair Metal 30 years ago.
White Women crave a main stream, commercialized electric guitar genre which talks about nothing but romance and sex that they can dance to. Bro country simply fills that void since Rock doesn't right now and hasn't for years. Heck, a lot of the bro country musicians used to be in acts like Staind.

Blame Wendell mobley and Neil thrasher. They are the ones writing 90% of the trashville bro country the last 7-9 year.

Nirvana is responsible for it to some degree but so is hip hop that drove millions of young, white male listeners away from pop radio.
