Dude is versatile as fuck, to be sure. Thank God he developed his style over time.
But it's that over-the-top, uber-earnest style that initially set him apart and got most people to pay attention.

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?

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.

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.

Nirvana was the band that inspired you. Pearl Jam the band you could sound like.
