I agree, he changed music in the 90s. We can thank him for single-handedly ending 80s hair metal.

That's such BS. He changed nothing, except maybe what was trendy for a couple of years. METALLICA killed 80s hair metal, not Nirvana. Nirvana had nothing to do with metal. Grunge petered out in a short few years, and gave us bands like Creed and Nickelback.

And all that is just talking about children's pop music. It has nothing to do with REAL music, music for adults, which was completely unaffected by grunge or metal.

I must respectfully disagree. Guns n' Roses killed hair metal. Nirvana was what rose from the ashes.

He can thank bands like “The Pixies” for changing the music of the 80’s. He stood on the shoulders of giants.
