Not the first artists to be anti rockstars, but the first to get that much success and still keep it raw.
They were the white wu tang. As far as Im concerned.
Flannel was their Wu Wear.

I don't think rock is dead, people are just reacting to it differently...i.e., it's not quite as popular as it was circa '93. It's kind of back to where it was in the 80's....it's there, you just got to dig a bit deeper than yr radio to find it. Plenty of bands just as good (if not better than....) Nirvana have came since Kurt threw in the towel.
I don't think Nirvana (no matter how great a band...) really deserves any special recognition for doing anything extraordinary. I mean, sure...Kurt liked to portray himself as being "anti-rockstar" all the while being a very successful one. It could have been countless other bands. Right place, right time. Or wrong place, wrong time....depending on what side of the coin you are looking at.
Really, it's a title that means virtually nothing as it more or less happened by default.
