Have you checked how popular these artists really were at the time outside your group of friends? None of them have ever had a top-five single in the US. Several of them have very barely had a top-hundred single!

Nirvana was not just popular among the posters friends. Pop radio play is a narrow way to measure popularity.

I don't know "STP" but Nirvana and Soundgarden got airplay in Germany on MTV, Viva (the other music TV channel) and most mainstream radio stations.

I suppose the whole thing is US-centric, but at least those 2 I'd have missed as well.

Stone Temple Pilots?

Yes.

Oh, I only discovered them like 10-15 years ago, definitely not the 90s for me :)
