Wow, Chicka...I don't think it boils down to him being perceived as a god so much as it is a generational thing. His music was very accessible, and very easy to identify with.
I don't think I speak for myself alone when I say that he was largely responsible for getting lots of people into music, period. Nirvana was the first band I took seriously. The first band I identified with on a personal level. The first band that separated what I was listening to from the music of my parents.
I'm almost convinced that if it hadn't been for Nirvana/Kurt...I would have never gotten into Flipper, Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, Shonen Knife, Dinosaur, Stooges, Melvins, etc....
