[Viva la Guevara]

idk if its punk or grunge not a big fan of punk so can some one fill me in or an opinion here

Nirvana is grunge.

[superflysuperwhite]

*smash *grab *kill

you retard

eeeehhhhwww

[Viva la Guevara]

k well that didnt really answer my question there whitey but thanks for your input
besisdes nirvana is rock in my opinion

[Kasnia]

This is from wikipedia

This article is about the American grunge band.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_band

So I'm pretty sure it's grunge, not rock.

[CHEETZzz]

Nirvana is Grunge, and i'd maybe go as far as Hard Rock... depending.

But hell no not punk at all.

I'm not a big punk fan, but with my current knowledge, I'd guess Danzig as the father of punk? Misfits? same thing..

[Whodododoman18]

nirvana is the father of alternative in my opinion. mostly thanks to dave grohl

[sandman666]

most of it is grunge but there is some hard rock in there.
nirvana, alice in chains and pearl jam were three of the most famous grunge bands out there once.

[CoDy (A)]

No fucking way is Nirvana the "Father of Punk". The Fathers of Punk are prolly The Germs, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, and Black Flag. These bands were out in the late 70's and early 80's wayy before Nirvana.

[Viva la Guevara]

mmmm yeaaahh i put a question mark at the end of its
nice one with that
and i had no idea the diffrence between grunge and punk

[SuperSkunk]

Nirvana pisses me off.

Mediocre music and everyone around me says its "amazing".

Fuck them

Fuck nirvana.

Yeah, that's true.
I was thinking earlier about how someone on this forum once said that Kurt Cobain was the best guitarist EVER. But didn't someone else say that he was just a rhythm guitarist? They weren't really hugely famous because they were awesome, they just happened to hit it big whenever grunge started to become popular, and then Kurt's 'suicide' happened, which made them even more famous.

[Sven360]

I think WAY back when Kurt had his band Fecal Matter...it was kind of punk...but Nirvana will always be grunge

[Viva la Guevara]

can some one please tel me the difrence between
grunge and punk ?
because i dont see it
and kurt is a great guitarist just not the best or even close

[Kasnia]

This is the difference that I see. If someone else thinks I'm wrong, or wants to put their 2cents in, go ahead.

Grunge to me sounds more like alternative rock. It's slower rock, but it's not 'soft.' And sometimes it can be more upbeat and such. It's something you can slightly headbang to.

Punk is more loud, fast, and out there. It's way more up-beat and something you can mosh to.

[crazyassmetalhead]

grunge is a punk inspired musical thing that took place in the early-mid 90s (not totally sure), punk was a movement that took place from 1976-1985 (debateable but whatever it's close). google the two if you really give a shit. the only punk thing about nirvana was their attitude/ spirit.

[superflysuperwhite]

grunge is actually a little bit more metal, it took the place of the hair/glam metal of the late 80's

[CoDy (A)]

Grunge is slower and more self centered, Punk is fast and expresses opinions about the world and its problems.

[Viva la Guevara]

so basiclly punk is just another term for a whole bunch of winey little white fags complaining about the world and sing about how things should be but dont do anything but sing about it
and yes this may work but it hasn't yet.....

[crazyassmetalhead]

that's what it's turned into (at least this mainstream pop punk shit)

[StroggDog]

Nirvana is grunge and is shit. end of story

[exial]

I agree wit Guevara, Nirvana is Kool, "Only" because they made the song Stairway To Heaven which is Kickass to listen to wen ur smokin a Joint.

[Kasnia]

I agree wit Guevara, Nirvana is Kool, "Only" because they made the song Stairway To Heaven which is Kickass to listen to wen ur smokin a Joint.

.....WHAT????

Nirvana did NOT make Stairway to Heaven. Led Zeppelin did. Nirvana may have done a re-make of the song, but that's all it was.

[exial]

Well, Fuck Emo, and Punk. Its all about the Heavy Metal for me.

[crazyassmetalhead]

how the fuck........ nevermind i'm just not gonna look at this thread anymore because some of you motherfuckers are so musically retarded it makes me physically ill. shit even the fucking title just pisses me off. but i know some sub retardation statement or opinion is gonna get me draw me back.

fuck nirvana, kurt cobain is just another piss stain on music
and the messy ass motherfucker should have at least had the commom courtesy to fucking blow himself away with something other than a shotgun. inconsiderate asshole.

[StroggDog]

bwhahaha. agreed

[Viva la Guevara]

ok....exial that was fuckin messed up shit
you must of been fucked up when you posted that

[drugfeind]

i like nirvana...and kurt cobain didnt shoot himself how the hell does he take 3 times the lethal dose of heroin and even move let alone put the needle neatly back in the case and then put the case 3 feet away and reach over to get the shotgun then reach way down to the trigger....dont talk if you dont know guys please it pisses me off and whats even worse is that nirvana isnt fucking punk....douchbag

[ash_attack]

Cheers.

Nirvana isn't punk, it's grunge and I agree with that.

But I think Nirvana is a good band, no matter what you assholes say. You probably like rap, or some shit. Especially "Whitey" up there. I grew up with Nirvana, so it was kind of like breathing. The only album I've ever heard was Nevermind because that's the album my dad owned, first on cassette and then on CD when they became popular. It's cliche, but when I was angry I'd just rock out to S***ls Like Teen Spirit. It was great, especially when my dad told me to turn it down. I grew up with the likes of Ozzy, ACDC, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin... The only taste of the 90's I really got was Nirvana. I love them. My opinion... so FUCK YOU!

[Wolkkkk]

Iggy is the father of punk if there is one

[Platyp]

Nirvana is NOT punk. Nirvana is grunge. The original emo kids.

[StrummerJones1259]

Punk is generally faster than grunge, and with different subject matter
Nirvana's grunge.

And to CoDy (A):
Don't forget the Clash, man...
The sex pistols were the brawn of punk, the Clash were the brains

[Supertastypancakes]

How can u even think about calling nirvana the father of punk thats just absurdly insane nirvana is grunge....not really anything close to punk

[Ouroboros]

Iggy and the MC5, yeah.

[KusKus]

its a seed bank

[Palmer]

Nirvana is NOT punk. Nirvana is grunge. The original emo kids.

Emo was actually an unpopular 80's band genera which doesn't stand for emotional, contrary to today's beliefs.
Grunge is nothing close to emo in any way.

But you're right, they're grunge, which was established already. =p

[N3VVRmiNd]

It's definitely grunge. It gives you that filled up empty kind of feeling.
I Miss Nirvana. SHIT. I have like a shitload of their rare songs. About 98-? All together

[drugfeind]

nirvana is my favorite fucking band man!!!!

[obnoxiousnickname]

AAAARRRRRGGGHHHH Nirvana is nowhere near the father of punk. Their its little mainstream nephews if anything. You want punk look up Crass, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Sex Pistols, Circle Jerks and Charged GBH

[xprince]

nirvana is grunge alternative and was not cause of punk ass dave grohl..dumass whododoman18

[Blakky]

Wasn't Dave Grohl in a punk band before joining Nirvana? I think the band was Scream.

Nirvana is far from the "father of punk", but they were influenced a lot by punk. I thought I read somewhere that when Kurt Cobain was arrested, he had an MDC tape in his pocket.

[sc0ped91]

NO NO NO Nirvana is the father of nothing is it that hard to type in Nirvana in wikipedia

[Lord Midol]

Nirvana is just terrible.

[drugfeind]

Nirvana is just terrible.


you need to shut the fuck up newb.
Your mom is just terrible in bed

[CriminalAnarchist]

idk if its punk or grunge not a big fan of punk so can some one fill me in or an opinion here

nirvana started punk ended as grudge but they sure as hell didn't father punk.

Nirvana is grunge.

Nirvana is Grunge, and i'd maybe go as far as Hard Rock... depending.

But hell no not punk at all.

I'm not a big punk fan, but with my current knowledge, I'd guess Danzig as the father of punk? Misfits? same thing..

if your gonna ignore the stooges(1960's) then at least put the ramones(1970's) and nirvana started out as punk then fatered grudge listen to their album bleach. the misfits didnt start punk and neither did Danzig both of those groups came out after the ramones.

[hdeuce]

gah grunge is a cross between punk and garage rock. Nirvana wasn't the father of grunge though. The fathers of punk were definitely the mc5. And if you're stupid un-stupidize yourself before creating a re-tard-thread.

[Buddha]

Niel young is the godfather of grunge, just so ya know

[Lord Midol]

you need to shut the fuck up newb.
Your mom is just terrible in bed

Lmao.

Child, not even try to mess with me. Are you 12?

It seems fitting to now point out that I've actually been here longer than you. Previously I just read the pyro section rather than actually post.

btw, I am laughing at your stupidity... Not your post.
