I was saying that Nirvana made alt-rock more mainstream, ending the hair metal/new wave 80s era. Seattle grunge was something different than what most people were used to hearing. Even if you want to compare it to Boston post-punk it doesn't change the fact that Seattle grunge killed hair metal and made alternative rock more popular. Every kind of music draws upon a previous inspiration.
I know you were only six, but let's get some reality out in the open: By the time Nevermind came out, hair metal was already dying. That's like saying that Rome fell because the Americans were the dominant superpower. Seattle Grunge was used to fill the void, it was not because of "Grunge" that hair metal died.
