How Nirvana Killed Indie Rock

Video Description

Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl found huge success with Nirvana and the grunge genre. This inadvertantly caused the rise and fall of indie rock music. This video essay explores just how that happened. The documentary goes right back to the pinnacle of punk, the rise of grunge and the eventual peak of indie, before it all came crashing down with commercialism. Plus, we cover the future of indie rock. 🚨Please consider supporting me as a creator with a 'Super Thanks' or by joining the channel as a monthly member by clicking 'Join'.
