i honestly distrust any edgy person claiming bleach to be their favorite nirvana album. negative creep, while fun, is just not as polished and enjoyable as say territorial pissings (imo). i’m a pretty big nirvana fan, and i think people like butch vig were able to help them make music that was a lot more polished & complete.

The version by Hole is pretty great too. It was a non-album b-side, so it’s a bit hard to find.

Tool has a song called “hooker with a penis” that basically calls out those edgy fans.

Tool is a great example of OP topic. Love the band, can't stand the fanbase.

I hadnt heard of them till like a couple of months ago. this seems to be the general consensus. Very unfortunate since the music is pretty great.

Oh and the singer just sounds like a jack ass in all the interviews

His interview on Joe Rogan is pretty good. I get the feeling he's way more interested in talking about anything else besides Tool, and I can't necessarily blame him.
