1. One of the most important bands in music history and became extreamly popular in 1991 with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (the name comes from what Kurt thought was a rebellios term at the time, but however turned out to be his girl friend's deoderant).

Headed by Kurt Cobain, Nirvana Popularized the music sub genre of grunde and influenced many other bands. With 50 Million albums sold they are often cosidered to be the best grunge band of all time.

Best band ever www.indefenseofkurtcobain.com and www.justiceforkurt.com courtney love killed kurt cobain, and the case needs to be reopened, rome(kurt was on tour in rome when he had an "overdose") was a murder attempt by courtney and dewitt (the pussy ass nanny), they tried putting rohypnol (date-rape drug) in his champaine, it worked but he lived instead of what they had planned on happening, kurt had no drug but rohypnol in his system

A shitty ass band fronted by talentless singer named Kunt Cobain.
Nirvana has to be one of the most overrated and shittiest bands ever along with Pearl jam which is even worse.
Nirvana is a pathetic excuse of a band; try to listen to some real music who requires actual talent like Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Blind Guardian, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Iced Earth and Riot.

An early 90s proto-emo band that was slapped with the claim of "killing" Hair Metal/Metal. Their fans swear they aren't emo. They were highly popular amongst the highly apathetic amongst the proto-emo crowd in the 90s. The lead singer, Kurt Cobain became 'An-Hero' in the year 1994 after he ate a shot gun shell, and has since been every emo's role model and their personal favorite An Hero. Before the untimely ending of the band, they made 3 classic albums

How to be emo Vol.I: Bleach
How to be emo Vol.II: Nevermind
How to be emo Vol.III: In Utero

These albums have become classic amongst the emos of today, after the proto-emo's got jobs and lightened up. Nirvana albums can be spotted on iPods of every modern emo now days.
2000s Emo: Hey man I found this really good old emo

1990s Nirvana fan: Psst, I hate emo

2000s Emo: But I think you heard of them... Nirvana?

1990s Nirvana fan: WHAT! NIRVANA ISN'T EMO!
