That Pearl Jam are a joke and the only reason anyone ever liked Nirvana -- or rather pretended to like Nirvana -- was because they knew it made them look cool?stip wrote:Guys, the author is probably right

Well, sure. I mean, didn't you read it? No one was ever actually influenced by Nirvana. Everyone just said they were to sound cool.stip wrote:The influence part, anyway

I'd need to reread the article but I think it's more nuanced than that. Everyone just said they were to sound cool AFTER he died.durdencommatyler wrote:Well, sure. I mean, didn't you read it?

Nirvana was the band that inspired you. Pearl Jam the band you could sound like.
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.
