Lightbulb Punk Nirvana
Nirvana had such a huge non punk following that some people get offended if you call them a punk band. Watching some of their live shows, like Live at Reading, Kurt comes off as punk rock. Singing more off key than Johnny Rotten in a mockery of the music everyone expected. Playing in a dress because a leather jacket had lost the power to offend peoples sensibilities. Poor Kurt, I think he wanted to be included in the punk movement and instead he got isolated into establishing grunge. It mustve been awful to try and be offensive, annoying and punk when whatever you did the media spun into a new grunge or 'alternative' category just because thats how the music industry decided to label it.

RE: Punk Nirvana
As Nirvana came from the AmRep, C/Z & SFTRI stables, it's always been labelled Noise until some smartass labelled it grunge and/or the Seattle Sound
Nirvana might wanted to be punk in their sound, their lyrics never came close to it

I guess that makes sense. So much of their lyrics seems heroin inspired and/or feuled, so maybe, again, thats what derailed them from exactly what they wanted.
