It is not their lyrics but what they did. They attacked the huge chart topping idol industry, they trolled their fans, their videos sometimes had blood, nudity, and horrific imagery, they did nude photo shoots, they were highly varied in their sound, they collaborated with a noise rock band, and at the height of their popularity they broke up and then did a concert the very next day as ex-BiS.
Their live shows could devolve into chaos as they played the same song over and over again:

Neil Young did all that first, and he was actually able to create timeless music in the process.
Well, except for the nude photo shoots. Neil never did that.
