Growing up as a musician I was always trying to be the contrarian that hated Nirvana because they were so popular and their songs were so ‘simple’. I’ve since realized the error of my ways
Yep, just because it's simple doesn't mean it isn't good. The polar opposite is also true. Just because it's complicated doesn't make it good cough cough Tool cough cough

I agree with the sentiment completely, but I grew up with this 😆. Still enjoying it as much as I did back then. :)
Definitely with you on finding bands of yore that I wasn't aware of at the time. A few months ago, I was on a Pat Benatar kick having never really listened to anything of hers and only familiar with "Hit Me With Your Best Shot".

Also, one of my proudest days as a parent was hearing both of my kids singing along to this song in the back seat of the car.
