With Nirvana, I think most musicians have misread their intentions. Most people, in following in their footsteps have focused on the simplicity of their music, and the idea that they don't have to try so hard to be successful, but they really missed the point. What Nirvana's music did, (at least for the first few years) was give people the confidence to be themselves, in recording the type of music that best represented their personality. However, there's always a down fall towards every good thing, and of course there's always a lot of confusion.

Of course the copy cat syndrome is much more tempting than trying to rely on your own natural abilities, because most people( well it seems like) they would much rather take the safe road instead of truly figuring out who they are through music!!!
