In many ways it reminds me of how Nine Inch Nails reinvented him/themselves during the same period. The nihilism became the focus of the music (as you say later) but without actually trying to say something meaningful. I obviously don't have any Nirvana records anymore (I sold them all to buy Danzig stuff) so I can't do a line-by-line analysis, but when I came to the decision to dump them, that's the impression I had.
Really? I think that brings up an interesting question. Do you think Nirvana "rocked"?
It really seemed to me (at the time) that they were catering to the less attractive passions of teenagers of the time, without actually having a message. Nothing has really changed that idea...
It obvious that you seek a message within music. Now I'm not sure to what extent you seek it, but is that your main focus when it comes to music? Just an honest question.
And just to counterpoint you a little, I don't think that Nirvana necessarily catered to teenagers of that time. I think that it just so happened that teenagers for the most part identified with their music.

Both. Infact, I think Soundgarden was the best band to come from the Big 4 of the "Seattle" music scene from the time (the others being Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Alice in CHains; IIRC Queensryche, being from Seattle, doesn't count because they came earlier...)
Damon.
Well as far I'm I'm concerned, the most "talented" band to emerge from that scene was Alice In Chains. Followed closely by Soundgarden of course.
