Not sure if you're joking or not, but just in case you aren't: They were very up front about their hero worship of a lot of 80s indie/postpunk bands and talked quite a bit about the people they emulated. Kurt Cobain even described
Nevermind as Nirvana's attempt at making an album like the Pixies'
Doolittle and also described his band's music as a Scratch Acid/Gang of Four ripoff. And then of course there's the famous situation of the "Come As You Are" riff coming directly from a song by one of their influences, Killing Joke.
