Nirvana are one of the great success stories in modern popular culture.

A group of shabby-looking young men playing noisy, disaffected anthems essentially took over the world. In the early 90s, there was no band bigger and no phenomenon more powerful.

The power of that music and the band's ideals holds true to this day, over 25 years on from the passing of frontman Kurt Cobain. We will be listening to and loving Nirvana for the rest of our lives.

Join Gemma Pike for the Nirvana J Files, Thursday 13 June from 8pm AEST on Double J
