I like them because they remind me of a very particular chapter of my early teens.
But I can't disagree that they're massively overrated. A huge amount of their popularity is thanks to Cobain blowing his brains out and cementing a cult-like following. In Utero and Bleach are both absolutely brilliant albums, but do I go out of my way to listen to either of them? Not any more. They were a good band, just not a great one.
