They weren't only a rip-off of those two band. And I said decent, not good.

Meh. All three bands suck. But I would have completely disagreed with you when I actually listened to music written after 1900. Yeah, Nirvana had the whole "quiet verse, loud chorus" thing but Kurt Cobain was a much better lyricist and frontman than either of those two bands. Husker Du is especially a shitty band.

>> No.10144856

>>10144840
No, they were a ripoff of Fleetwood Mac too.

Decent = shit. I'm glad he's dead, I'm glad the drummer started a pop band and I'm glad the bassist went bald. Garbage in, garbage out.

I will never not laugh at the greatly deserved ridicule of this hack fraud. DFW will be remembered by posterity as the most incompetent snake oil salesman western literature has ever produced.

The only sincere act of his life was when he kicked away the chair. His life was nothing but a series of ironies and lies predicated on the the joke that is new sincerity. The big punchline was the creaking of the rafter and the piss trickling down his leg to the floor.

his epiphany that the only viable thing for him to do was to kill himself was the best thing to happen to literature in 30 years since he began writing because behind all the self aware gimmicks and self help books and the drugs and the audience pussy there was no discernible talent

Both did it for career moves but there are a lot of bands like Slint or Sonic Youth who vanished from the mainstream eye that deserve more recognition than Nirvana because the lead singer killed himself. I would say the fans of Infinite Jest are more similar to Nirvana fans, only liking Wallace's literature and essays because he did a suicide while glorifying it to no end and becoming part of some fashion statement.

You're complaining about Nirvana being overrated and getting too much attention, which while true, doesn't take away that they were decent.

Nirvana were never decent and to further add to my statement both the author and music artist feared what their works would become and in the end that's what happened to them. They also helped heavily popularize mental illnesses like depression and nihilism as fashion accessories.
