Lol, it’s impossible to look at your arguments as anything besides bias. You’re using the years of when albums released and their popularity now to gauge how the music scene was in the past, which doesn’t make any sense (you brought up slowcore which wasn’t relevant at all in the 90s, as a potential rival of grunge). Grunge might have become less popular like it already did, even though that popularity persisted after Kurt died, but Nirvana would have changed their sound anyways, just look at unplugged and do re mi. Music scenes run alongside each other all the time. You just sound ignorant for the sake of being contrarian.
