VH1 called them the best band of all time. That's a general population, or at least an idea conveyed to the general population. And they aren't even the best band of the 90's. Therefore, they are overrated.

i think they are the best band of the 90's.  this thread should be called "things that most people enjoy that you don't"

See:

Is this an overrated thread?

Or an unpopular(wrong) opinion thread?

Jakesie is a plug.

I am 100% with Jakesie on this one. Nobody could ever or will ever be as undeservingly overrated as Nirvana.
I see some people saying the Beatles. That's weird. The Beatles were in the early 60's, and people still listen to them, and their songs still resonate with new generations (like mine), and their musical and lyrical genius is still evident, like, all over the place. You know what? Nobody rough ridin' listens to Nirvana anymore. If I hear Lithium on the radio I'm changing the station. The whole idea of Nirvana was purely a reaction to the overblown excess of 80's glam. You know what? Nobody rough ridin' listens to glam anymore either. They were two extremes that have not passed the test of time.

you're insane. millions of people still listen to nirvana. as for your "undeservingly overrated" comments, what about Britney spears, LMFAO, Skrillex, and all these other countless crap bands that are ridiculously overrated. Yet you choose the pioneers of the modern guitar hook as your most overrated band of all time. and your beatles comment defeats your entire argument, since the same thing can be said about Nirvana. I bet you 3 of 4 teenagers would prefer Nirvana to the beatles. the beatles have a few timeless hits, and the rest is nothing but a bunch of cult favorites. no different from nirvana in that aspect. a couple mainstream hits, and a bunch of cult favorites. get off your highhorse

Hate to break it to you PODLE, Nirvana sucks man.  T's & P's.

Nirvana doesn't suck, your ears are broken. you never heard them before they were mainstream, so it's your loss not mine.

Yeah, I listened to that song when you posted it (more successfully) last night. I really hoped it would make me change my mind. It didn't, it was not good at all. And yesterday, my argument was that Nirvana was good, but overrated. After listening to that I have changed my mind to Nirvana is barely mediocre (being nice here) and very overrated.

Baseball.

I can appreciate the talent it takes to swing and hit a ball going 95mph, but my god the game itself is boring.

no problem with that. baseball is an acquired taste much more than the two other major sports.

If you're loyal to a baseball team, it's great. I can't watch two teams idgaf about though.

[star seed 7]

baseball is v boring, but it can't be overrated because only like 1 in every 50 (sports) people even like it.
