Having read Kurt’s journals, they wanted to be mid. They were capitalizing on the success of other bands and implementing their styles. They weren’t trying to change the world, they just wanted to get paid to make decent music
Not putting any of this on their feet. Maybe they wanted to be mid but that’s not how history seems to remember them.
Nirvana is still hyped as one of the greatest bands ever. Maybe it was revisionism after Kurt’s death? But whatever it is, I feel like their music doesn’t deserve the hype it gets today.

Whatever their intentions, they were massively influential and changed grunge forever and that’s not something that should be understated
For sure.
