And in January of 1992, Nevermind even climbed past Michael Jackson's Dangerous
to take the top spot on the Billboard chart.
And then it did the same thing overseas, country after country.
Billboard declared, Nirvana is that rare band that has everything, critical acclaim, industry respect, pop radio appeal, and rock solid college alternative bass."
and it would go on to sell more than 30 million copies worldwide.
So the impact just rippled outward.
And Sub Pop co-founder Bruce Pavitt put it in perspective saying, quote, when I first moved to Seattle in 1983, most people in the world wouldn't be able to find Seattle on a map.
And post 1991, that all changed.
Nirvana did for Seattle what the Beatles did for Liverpool, unquote.
And he added, quote, it put Seattle on the map and was a huge inspiration for a lot of young people.
The music really brought in a level of emotional depth that had been missing from pop radio and is missing from pop radio now, unquote.
And Nevermind paved the way.
And bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Screaming Trees all came through the door Nirvana had kicked open.
Grunge wasn't a subculture anymore.
And by 1992, it was just the culture.
And the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards gave them two trophies, one for best new artist and one for best alternative video.
And they played Lithium on the broadcast.
And Novoselic launched his bass straight up toward the ceiling, misjudged the toss on the way down and took the neck of the guitar to the face.
And he dropped to the stage and played dead.
And it was a rare moment of lightness in a year that had already started to feel crushing.
