In some sense, Nirvana got a little support from the unlikely source of Tesco Vee and the Meatmen. On their War of the Superbikes II cd, they have a song called "We Hate This Riff." The music is almost entirely a knock on Smells Like Teen Spirit, but the lyrics rip into the glut of grunge bands that broke out with the same sound after Nirvana hit it big. I couldn't find it on youtube, but here's the lyrics:
You stole this riff
From Cobain's headless sack
He wants his money
(Watch out) He's coming back
Gotta have a hit
This one can't miss
All the songs on Alternative Nation
Sound exactly like this
We'll hear this riff
Till the end of the world
As we know it
And we HATE this riff
NIRVANAWANNA-BEs
Know that they blow
But they want the cash
Today's flavor
Is tomorrows bitter after taste
It's the little things that kill
Hear it on every juke
In every scumrot bar
An early 90's bass line
And this cheesy guitar
Gotta have a hit
This one can't miss
Bush and Sponge and Better Than Ezra
Will see to it
That we'll hear this riff
Till the end of the world
As we know it
And we HATE this riff
NIRVANAWANNA-BES
Know that they blow
But they want the cash
Today's flavor
Is tomorrows bitter after taste
Just a wasted of musical space
