That's ridiculous. Nirvana's music could not have been done better, that is your own personal view of what is good music and it has absolutely positively no overbearing applicablity what-so-ever. You say that the appeal is limited, so point out to me when "good" became equal to "mass-appeal". And if that were true, then I guess we'd have to agree with Nirvana's worship since they are massively popular and undeniably have lots of appeal. You claim that Nirvana's music is not respectable, that's absolutely an opinion and it is not in any way even slightly more accurate than the simple opinion of any other person.
Why is Nirvana's music respectable?
- Amazing hard rocking rhythms
- Astounding command of vocal diction in the style of pronounciation and notable musicality of the tune in which words are sung
- Lyrics that are poetic, smooth, and interesting, while also expressing worthwhile ideas and feelings
- Fantastic use of the attributes of raw sound & style
You call it dissonance, I call it breathtaking. How can you possibly claim that just because some people don't like that style that it's inferior and wrong? I spend hours and hours listening to Nirvana because they DON'T sound normal. That raw sound, that feedbacky, dusty, distorted, in-studio jam kind of sound is BRILLAINT. I could listen to it all day, it's infinitely more interesting to listen to than the average style. Besides, don't you consider the stylistic likenesses between the musical style and the feelings being expressed? Would Imagine sound right if it was performed by croaking frogs? If nothing else it would at least lose most of its emotional worth. Likewise, having "Blew" performed by a smooth squeaky-clean pop group would eliminate it's emotional worth.
Instead of pretending that my arguments are pointless and unbacked up, why don't you once consider actually trying to argue against them? Go read a physics textbook if you think that Dream Theater is great because they werent "simplistic".
You don't respect Nirvana, fine, but you're being silly to think that their style is invalid and that their intellectuality is non-existant. Maybe you like technically apt things and maybe I like sensually apt things. But we're both fooling ourselves into a deep ravine if we have any notions at all of our own preference being in the least bit superior or more valid than someone else's.
