AfD is the better Album but Nevermind had a bigger impact and gave a huge “frick you” to the music industry money machine.
I’ve been hungry for years for a band to do something similar to what Nevermind did. I hate today’s music industry so much.

Nevermind ushered in a new genre. Appetite for destruction was hair music.

to the mainstream maybe. Grunge certainly wasn't new at that point.

I think AFD, and to a lesser extent Slave to the Grind, bridged the gap between hair metal and thrash. It was equal parts Motley Crue and Metallica.

No it wasn't new.
Sonic youth probably was the first that made some sort of impact.

This. It didn’t create grunge, it made it mainstream. They were signed to a Geffen label, flooded MTV with videos, and raked in commercial dollars with Billboard-charting radio hits. It gave a bunch of whiny emo teens their own acceptable music. Instead of having to listen to their older brother’s music - the remnants of hair metal - they now had something that was their own AND commercially established as legitimate instead of fringe. Because despite theor whiny generations depressing emo nature, they just wanted to belong. I guess because they felt ignored by their parents who were fresh of the success and excess of the ‘80s. Worst era of music in history.

At the end of the 80s, people were tired of party anthems. Grunge just took darker, more introspective lyrics and it hit a chord with a lot of folks. I really enjoyed that short era of music, though I came of age in the late 70s, early 80s.
Apple by MLB was the first album I heard that made me think there had been a seismic shift in music.
Van Halen unleashed the movement that would later become hair metal in 1978. GnR Was the bookend on the other side of hair metal in 1998. People weren't satisfied with fluff anymore.

Meh...during the ‘90s I was listening to bands like Metallica, Megadeth, and Pantera, who all had very powerful and meaningful lyrics without all that depressing emo crap. I detest Nirvana and everything they represented.
Literally just a few days ago, I finally forgave Dave Grohl for being in Nirvana and made a Foo Fighters playlist that I’ve been listening to nonstop, and I started learning a few Foo songs on guitar.
My sudden fanaticism was launched by the Foo Fighters live “KISS Guy” video.

Nevermind.
That album is still resonating with people today. AFD isnt in the way nevermind still does.

Where do people like you get this stupid shite? That album was one of the biggest nails in the coffin for hair metal.

2 of the greatest albums ever made.
Could argue back and forth with myself for a while on the OP's question, but if you put a gun to my head I'd say Nevermind had a more immediate effect. Appetite took a minute to build up its head of steam, but the second I heard it, most other mainstream metal became 'Motley Who?' It was so much more real and dirty then the vast majority of the Winger/Poison/White Lion bullshite clogging up the airwaves.
Nevermind brought a whole other genre (indie, not grunge) of rock to the forefront overnight. Nirvana put so many great indie bands in the spotlight like the Meat Puppets. Looking over their whole catalog, Nirvana wasn't really even a grunge band.
