Iconic '90s: How The Music Of Nirvana Molded A Generation

Kids from the '90s saw Nirvana as so much more than musicians. They were nothing short of inspirational to their fans. This unassuming trio from the south of Seattle started doing gigs as nobodies. However, at the peak of their success, they were creating a sound that would define the '90s. 

From Kurt Cobain's hairstyle and messy relationship with Courtney Love to Nirvana's grungy rock and roll lifestyle, read on as we enumerate all the things that made this epic band such an iconic part of the '90s. 

Three kids hailing from a small town pursued their passion for music. They became wealthy, famous, and successful, writing and playing expressive music. It's like a movie plot, especially because this seemingly perfect storyline came with a lot of ups and downs. 

The band was instrumental in the rise of ripped jeans and flannel shirts. Their unapologetic sense of style became a trend that changed the direction of fashion. 

People with depression finally found something they could relate to, and it opened up a conversation about the issue, letting sufferers know they’re not alone; all thanks to Nirvana's raw, truthful songs.

The band's music videos, style, and everything they stood for were ultra-real. No fakery, just teen spirit. 

Admit it, if you're from the '90s you loved hearing all the juicy deets about Kurt and Courtney!                  

Cobain, being the spokesperson of guerilla marketing and grassroots campaigns, contributed tremendously to the counterculture that questioned the norms of our society. 

Nirvana reigned supreme in the alternative scene. One great example of this was when they released “Nevermind” in 1992, and it immediately earned the number one spot on Billboard's Top 200 list. 

Almost everyone who loves Nirvana will tell you their songs were the soundtrack to their youth. 

The fact that we are here looking back at a decade that felt like it was just yesterday makes us feel old.

Kurt's suicide left the world in shock. But his death wasn't in vain as he was successful in pushing society to think outside the box. He contributed to raising the kids who developed maturity from lessons passed on through music, not lectures. He might have died and left this Earthly plane, but his legacy lives on.
