Are you into grunge music?
I used to be a big fan of Nirvana when I was a teen. I have all their records. Do you like them or you prefer other bands?

I've heard quite a few times that Nirvana are actually overrated. Do you agree?

If I were to vote, my option would be the 4th. Interesting fact, Kurt used to roadie for these guys:

However and ironically, Buzz Osbourne could never afford to buy a house as nice as the one Kurt owned when he shot himself in the head. Here's him trying to buy one on 'street cred.':

More fun factoids:

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" follows a F–B♭–A♭–D♭ chord progression,[15] with the main guitar riff constructed from four power chords played in a syncopated sixteenth note strum by Cobain.[16] The guitar chords were double tracked because the band "wanted to make it sound more powerful," according to Vig.[17] The chords occasionally lapse into suspended chord voicings as a result of Cobain playing the bottom four strings of the guitar for the thickness of sound.[16] Listeners made many comments that the song bore a passing resemblance to Boston's 1976 hit "More Than a Feeling".[6] Cobain himself held similar opinions, saying that it "was such a clichéd riff. It was so close to a Boston riff or [The Kingsmen's] 'Louie Louie.'"[4] However, Rikky Rooksby points out that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "More Than a Feeling" follow different chord progressions.
