    My cousins friend was a total grunge fag. I remember him making fun of me for sticking with hair bands when we were drinking and driving 95 while my cousin did blow off his girlfriend's tits or whatever (only a small exaggeration) on Highway 200 in Idaho and Montana in June of '93. Backpack and Jstyles or whatever, don't act like this. Bill PSA.

    Oh yeah, my point: I hated grunge and grunge snobs for a long time. Go GNR

    Not even close. GnR was a good rock band in the style of other rock bands.

    Nirvana changed popular music and culture.

    Also, Fuck LA bands.

    Absolutely easy choice. Was grunge even a thing after 1995? I still listen to Appetite Lies and Illusion, haven't heard a Nirvana song in maybe ten years

    Was GNR even a thing after 1991? No, because Nirvana killed them ded.
    GnR resuscitated hard rock when it was on life support after being pussified by hair/glam bullshit. Nirvana headed the grunge movement. Both were flavors of the month that lasted a couple years. GnR stands the test of time for me; Nirvana, not at all. Nirvana didn't kill GnR; they did it to themselves, just like Kurt


    And Styx sucks

    And GnR did a damn good job of it. I still listen to Appetite regularly. Still, Nirvana wasn't just the leader of the grunge pack, rather, they made alternative the mainstream style of the 90s, which was a YUGE deal. Hell, even by '93 GnR was doing an album of punk covers, which is a testament to Nirvana's influence.
