The jocks and such were busy with Pearl Jam. They knew Teen Spirit but not much else. After he died, the larger masses started listening. I remember seeing a football player in my school wear a t-shirt with his suicide note on it a few weeks later and I am pretty sure he barely knew of them previously.

The Unplugged album wasn't even out before he died.
