maybe. Nirvana wouldn't though.

>>74117283
Honestly no. I mean soon or later they would have to drop the gloomy image, they couldn't go on for 40 years singing about suicide and depression without losing credibility.

>>74117283
They would be relevant in the same way New Order is relevant, notable and influential but not revered as much

>>74117852
By all accounts from the band members they probably would have moved towards to more upbeat synthy dance style of New Order even if Ian hadn't died

No, they'd literally be even less famous. I say that as a fan

>>74117852
Why not? Linkin Park did it for 17 before Chester finally an herod

>>74118026
You'd imagine Ian singing temptation??

>Linkin Park did it for 17 before Chester finally an herod
Linkin Park is fucking shit and not gloomy but edgy

>>74118207
I don't care if you think they are shit or not. They stayed relevant for 17 years and sang about depression and suicide.

I think the point is that Linkin Park absolutely did lose credibility. They became a laughing stock for a lot of people

>>74117283
Nah, they would've U2'd themselves
