Talk:Nevermind

Lanegan's co-credit (or lack thereof)
I was going through individual song articles from this album and I noticed there are two different sources with the same purpose, revealing that Mark Lanegan had written some of "Something in the Way" and Cobain writing at least a piece on Lanegan's debut album. The source used in this article directly comes from a book, while the article on the very song uses an NME article reporting on said book. I don't have a preference, just highlighting this one in case.

Post punk
Is it possible to take out post punk because the album has no post punk nor any post punk sounding songs because even if you listen to each song individually or even you know look at the individual pages for the songs they have post punk labeled under them I say that it was only a mislabeling of the genre for post punk as fans of nirvana would not call it post punk, post punk has a different sound than nevermind  and there are people who disagree with this label as it makes no sense to call it post punk in fact it’s more reasonable to put punk rock because the instruments are more harder than post punk Thecure8985 (talk) 19:44, 1 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it got reverted, so I may as well elaborate. No way at all. If it's properly cited by a reliable source, you shouldn't do anything about it. Even then, you can make a connection of Nevermind to post-punk through a return to certain punk aesthetics combined with influences in college and indie rock along with the grunge scene Nirvana is rooted in. R.E.M. and the Pixies were mentioned as Cobain's primary influences at least twice while writing and composing this album. So, under Christgau's opinion, that of a greatly prestigious music critic who was reviewing for 22+ years by 1991, Nevermind is post-punk in an overall spirit.
 * By the way, your edit was not impersonal. At the very least you could've removed the equally well-cited hard rock label on the infobox as well (since the genre is most well-known for '70s rock and even '80s metal) and I honestly wouldn't bother. But you messed with the standard. Thanks for reading this and please, don't do this or something similar again. Carlinal (talk) 18:28, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
