>Do they even move the needle at all if he doesn't die?
Despite what all the shit-for-brains are saying, I was there, I was in high school when he popped his brains and you know what? The whole thing was forgotten in a few months.
There wasn't any huge Nirvanamania that year.
New bands quickly filled the void. Offspring, Bush, Soundgarden hit their mainstream peak in 94. Also AiC was still around and they did their unplugged much later and they were still somewhat relevant.
Really there wasn't any sort of Lennon moment, some kind of mass cultural shock. It only lasted a few days.
Sure this attracted more normies to the unplugged show because that was the cleanest and least scary packaging their music ever got. It was basically coffeeshop music for the 90s. Acoustic ballads with a somewhat apathetic sedate mood. But with some pop nerve and rhythm.
Anyway, don't think there was something like millions of Nirvana tshirts selling that year and tens of millions of albums because he offed himself. Far from that.
