Aside from potentially splitting up the aforementioned groups (or just forcing them to work around Nirvana's touring schedule), this also could have affected Music/FooFighters: It's possible Pat Smear wouldn't have ended up in the band if he hadn't already worked with Dave Grohl.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Twice on ''Music/{{Nevermind}}'' regarding the cover artwork. The first was a more positive example, with Kurt being talked out of using a very graphic image of a water birth, complete with blood and placenta, in favor of the now-famous "naked baby" photo. However, there were concerned about the head of the baby's penis being visible. Kurt fought to keep it visible and when the label suggesting putting a sticker on the outer casing so as not to offend record-store shoppers, Kurt said he'd only agree if the sticker said "If you are offended by this, then you're a closeted pedophile."

* CreatorBreakdown: ''In Utero''.
* NamesTheSame: "Nirvana" was also the name of a psychedelic band formed in the [=UK=] in TheSixties. The elder Nirvana sued over the name and settled out of court, to the effect that both groups were allowed to continue using the name. The earlier band even recorded a cover of "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SNhYrUnUCg&feature=related Lithium]]", and [[WhatCouldHaveBeen intended to record an entire album of Cobain's material]] before his death put the kibosh on it.
** This might be sacrilege, but one of the cartoon bands on Jem and the Holograms was called Nirvana.
* PromotedFanboy: Cobain always made sure to plug his favorite bands in interviews and several of them (Meat Puppets, The Melvins, The Vaselines and ShonenKnife, just to name a few) got major label record deals just because Cobain said he liked them. Nirvana also got a record contract thanks to the support of Music/SonicYouth, a band they were all big fans of and quickly befriended afterwards.

Added DiffLines:
* ThrowItIn: While recording ''Bleach'', the band had been experimenting with Drop D tuning. Krist Novoselic accidentally left his bass in Drop D before recording "Blew", and this was the take that was used for the album because it just sounded cooler.
** ''Nevermind'' has two mistakes that were left in: on "Polly", Kurt accidentally starts the "Polly says" verse [[FourMoreMeasures too early]], pauses, and then re-starts on the right spot. This became a sort of AscendedGlitch, even appearing on the faster "(New Wave) Polly" version from ''Incesticide''. During double-tracking for "Come As You Are", he similarly sang "And I don't have a gun" before the last "memoria, memoria" section was over, but saved the mistake.

* OddFriendship: At the height of the HypeBacklash surrounding "Achy Breaky Heart". Cobain met and struck a friendship with country star Billy Ray Cyrus, quipping something like, "Congratulations on getting the whole world to hate you". This is ironic considering the backlash [[MileyCyrus Cyrus' daughter]] (a Nirvana fan) recieved in 2012 from some rock purists for covering "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in concert. Krist Novoselic did defend and support Miley for her cover, though.
