Unfortunately, it's what they're best known for. Aha Shake Heartbreak was great, and Because of the Times was also pretty damn good. I think most people just bitch about their new stuff because it's played on the radio a lot and it gets kind of annoying when they're not supposed to be a mainstream band. I think they have a good sound, but too many people got sick of their new stuff, and rightfully so, a majority of it isn't as good as their old stuff. That's pretty much the same with most bands, Green Day, Coldplay, AC/DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc. If this album makes Kings of Leon die out, then so be it, but they ended up with a pretty decent career.

Those are both great records, and they had very distinct sounds. Much more blues than stadium rock, which is what people seem to hate.

Lets not confuse the difference between Grundge and Punk
Nirvana was a PUNK band....Bleech was a punk album

who was talking about bleach? Nevermind is what made the grunge "movement" start. Other bands had that sound before, but the commercial success of that album is what launched the careers of similar artists and made plaid shirts go from 5$ to 50$ almost overnight.
Blondie did punk too, but would you call her punk? An artist usually gets defined by their most lasting work, not their first.
Not to mention grunge and punk were always related...grunge taking what it wanted from the punk arena and packaging it as its own.

also zip i don't listen to the radio and made my impression on my first experience with them ever. Had i heard them 20 times on the radio i would deffo hate them more, because it is recycled tripe.
maybe they can bring rednecks and 17 year old girls together

not only nirvana. also pearl jam's ten. they made grunge a commercial success. however, they did not coin the term 'grunge'.
the grunge "movement" as you call it, was started by mudhoney who liked to call themselves a grunge band and defined as the same during interviews.
actually nirvana took a lot of methodologies from the pixies, so i guess the pixies started it and nirvana just developed...

once again reading comprehension.
nirvana made it big, i didn't say that made it. pearl jam rode nirvana's coat tails. It is a shame that bands like sonic youth never quite got there, because they did it before kurt cobain did.
The seattle sound was huge...you didn't even have to be good for awhile, only be able to play 3 or 4 power chords, scream into a mic and be from that city.
