: : Nirvana's hugeness was caused by two things: good timing, and suicide.
: And "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - an epic, epic tune.
Actually, that was the good timing part. I can't say it was epic (wasn't that Faith No More? Ha ha), but it was HUGE. I'll admit it, I liked it as much as anyone else, at the time. It was a great catharsis tune. But it wasn't enough to build a musical empire on. That was all about eMpTyV (and its subsidiaries) deciding they were the tragic heroes of my generation.
Bollocks to that.
