I dont think Nirvana is grunge at all. they didnt fit in with the catergories or most grunge bands at the time, except maybe on Bleach, but that album was made to kind of fit in with the scene anyway (i think). But on everything else, i would catergorize them as pop-punk. yeah, they were a punk band, but i can understand why they got so popular becuase a lot of their later music, especially on nevermind, definately had pop elements to it and was radio-friendly. so, yeah, i would say they were a singles pop band, and an albums punk band. does that make sense?

Nirvana are too heavy to be a pop-punk band.

Sparky · 09-01-2007, 05:00 PM

but he wrote pop songs...

sleepy jack · 09-01-2007, 05:02 PM

Yeah but would you place Nirvana in the same genre you'd place the Queers?

Sparky · 09-01-2007, 06:31 PM

they have some similarities. But yeah, i suppose "pop punk" might not be fitting.

Lets just leave it at grunge already, since nothing else fits well :-/

I'd say Nirvana had more in common with Black Flag then the Queers.

Sparky · 09-01-2007, 06:38 PM

I'd say Flipper and the Wipers=nirvana pretty much =/

sleepy jack · 09-01-2007, 06:42 PM

Yeahh, anyway point is Nirvana = Grunge.
