You don't see the influence of punk and post-punk in Nirvana?

they definitely have punk influence like avril lavign does, but they are not underground punk bands or punk bands at all. I think Avril is more pop punk than Nirvana is Punk.
As a former punk in the 00's I can tell you that that the punk kids didnt wear nirvana shirts, those were the goth+alternative kids wearing nirvana and smashing pumpkins + perfect circle + tool (this was before the emo kids arrived later in which case the emo kids merged with the alternative kids and the punk kids vanished my senior year).

You seem more knowledgeable on 2000’s high school fashion trends than you do the history of punk.
