And Nirvana doesn't have a gimmick but people labeled them. I don't think that gives them a gimmick, it gives them a label. Well maybe besides trashing they're equipment, but they wanted to quit that.

also, trashing a stage is fucking sick. Who doesn't love that?
Well, ok...I'll give ya the White Stripes thing. But I was just saying that they don't do anything "over the top." Their image is pretty bland.

Regarding Nirvana...that's exactly what I was trying to say. They didn't have a gimmick, and seemingly the media can't stand that...so they have to come up with some kind of label anyway. So even though they weren't gimmicky...we always gotta hear about how they killed hair-bands, and started the grunge revolution. The media feels the need to label everyone.
