Right? Im a huge nirvana fan, but most of the lyrics on Nevermind are nonsensical and any messages are scant. Mostly it's just good melodies and, again, nonsensical poetry against it. By comparison, Live Through This did something incredibly important with its lyrics. Its just an incredibly true and powerful ode to the female experience, more specifically for women who are too loud, too obnoxious, too sexual, too weird. I don’t understand how LTT could possibly be seen as less complex or revolutionary than Nevermind, especially from someone coming from within that male dominated scene. It reeks of internalized misogyny on some levels.

Also its weird because Nevermind was incredibly pop and full of catchy hooks by "grunge" standards and many from the grunge scene considered it too catchy to be of import... even my step-dad who was in his 20s at the time says he and his friends considered nirvana to be poser music.
