I don't know. I would say there's a mass of people who view Nirvana as crap. So that doesn't make you elitist, just a little silly.
If you like it, it's good for you. That's the bottom line. (I am almost entirely kidding in the previous paragraph. The almost is the hangover from people comparing Cobain to Hendrix simply because he made music and died young.)
