When Kurt Cobain was eleven he heard and was captivated by the Britain's Sex Pistols and after their self-destruction he and his friend Krist Novoselic continued to listen to the wave of British bands including Joy Division the nihilistic post-punk band that some say Nirvana are directly descended from in form of mood, melody, and lyrical quality. Cobain formed and reformed a series of bands before Nirvana came to be in 1986. By 1988 Nirvana were doing shows and had demo tapes going around. In 1989, Nirvana recorded their rough-edged first album Bleach for local Seattle independent label Sub-Pop.

I know this doesn't formally answer the question, but most people including myself believe that Nirvana was formed by Kurt and Krist listening to post-punk and punk British bands when they were younger and then gradually learning how to play instruments.
