When Nevermind came out and Teen Spirit hit, Nirvana ended up creating a buzz that hadn't been seen since The Beatles hit. It was Beatlemania all over again, Nirvana was simple, relatable, and dressed like normal guys. Having a drummer like Ghrol definitely helped. It's also my opinion *only* that Kurt probably never expected Nirvana to be so successful, which more than likely contributed to his passing. Edit; Because I haven't said enough about Kurt's talent as a songwriter, Kurt Cobain was a poet for the times that was definitely ready for a generation that was hungry for something different, he wasn't as proficient a guitarist as EVH or any of his peers at the time but Kurt was very effective at what he did. Kurt and Nirvana were and are still to this day very much icons because they ended up as game changers.

[@finnmcginn9931]

Not even close to Beatlemania.

[@Kirkmeister]

​@finnmcginn9931 if we are judging based on purely album sales, there is only a two million copy difference between the best selling album of each band. If you also want to also throw in broadcasting, MTV was around and Nirvana was all over that, yet The Beatles did have a massive viewer base on the Ed Sullivan show. Arguably, Nirvana's impact is on par, if not only slightly less powerful than The Beatles.

Kiss was relevant in the 70s but they haven't been the power house they were when they released Rock n Roll all Night. Kurt isn't an icon because he died, he isn't an icon because he wrote 3 albums. Kurt is an icon because he created an entire new genre of rock, that is what makes Kurt bigger than his music. That is something Kiss will never be able to say over the course of 60 years, all they do is play rock n roll that has the same sound as the people who came before them, only they wear make up and have fun stage names.
