A grunge band coming from Aberdeen, Washington — not UsefulNotes/{{Seattle}}, as is commonly assumed, though Seattle is where they first hit it big — up in the [[TheOtherRainforest Pacific Northwest]], '''Nirvana''' became the breakthrough in alternative rock with their smash hit album ''Music/{{Nevermind}}'' in the early [[TheNineties 1990s]]. The trio of guitarist and frontman Music/KurtCobain, bassist Krist Novoselic and a revolving door of drummers until Chad Channing and subsequently Music/DaveGrohl would become the face of the {{grunge}} movement of the '90s; the group is most well known for the songs "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Come As You Are", "Heart Shaped Box", and "You Know You're Right".
Nirvana was one of the first bands many members of Generation Y got into, despite the band often being labelled a Generation X phenomenon (which is also inaccurate in the sense that a much larger number of Gen-X'ers grew up with the hair metal and flamboyant pop Nirvana ushered out in the early 90's — only the Gen-X'ers born from 1974 through 1979 would've likely been exposed to the band before reaching adulthood), and thus, their music is often considered to be in the upper echelons of influential rock music. Even after [[AuthorExistenceFailure the death]] of Cobain, the band still continued to remain popular, releasing many compilation albums. After the group split up, drummer Dave Grohl formed the band known as the Music/FooFighters, who have gone on to be one of the most respected and successful alternative rock bands in history.
