I dunno about that.  First off, "meaningful" is a subjective term.  I
have friends who were in their late teens and early twenties when
"Nevermind" came out.  They raved about the album, as though it spoke
to them directly.  I was in my late twenties at the time and I couldn't
hear what they were raving about, and neither could a lot of people my
age.  It just sounded like a guy mumbling.

And in the US, mid-80's rock was VERY stale.  Anyone remember all the
candy-ass metal bands?  Warrant, Slayer, Poison, blah, blah, blah.
Cobain may not have had the "meaningful" aspect you're talking about in
terms of his lyrics, but bands like Nirvana injected some much needed
energy into pop music.
