I spent a lot of time listening to this guys music and I so often wonder if it was a mistake. Whats the point of it? Nihilism? What do y'all think? was this a guy that was famous only because of how he looked? Does any one think his music was that great? Talk about a negative Pisces, personally I think Kurt was frustrated because he was at the top of the music industry yet he didn't even own his own ego. Typical Pisces.

He's a Genius. what was your point with this stupid commentary?



Way to make yourself seem educated and intelligent. State an opinion as a fact, and then say someone else is stupid for having a different opinion. Idiot.



what's idiotic is to make a statement that someone was popular because of their looks. Nirvana started the Grunge era. They're trend makers. And you sound really educated and intelligent by calling me an idiot, twerp.

what are you doing on dxp this late anyways? Shouldn't you be getting ready for junior high tomorrow?

Oh yes, all the intelligent people in the world refrain from name calling. You are right, I totally forgot. Well good thing we know you are on my level as you just called me a twerp (LOL). Seriously... twerp? What kind of old woman are you? This isn't a 1980's high school flick. And I think kurt cobain is a genius too, but people can CLEARLY become famous due to looks. Are you too defensive of your opinion to realize most our celebrities are famous because of that very reason?

I'm not even saying thats why kurt cobain became famous. I'm saying that you are not being objective, you are being defensive and bitchy. Typical of you though, you always have something up your ass. Probably just hate your life lol. Stay mad girly.



hi i've never interacted with you, but you seem to have many judgments and you're rude.

Anyways i never responded to you. i responded to the op. So shut your flapping tongue, before I neuter it.

I read somewhere that his parent's early divorce contributed to a lot of anguish in Nirvana's music. After they split, he never felt loved and secure again. It influenced his life because he was a sickly child (bronchitis and asthma) and he became antisocial and withdrawn. He was even homeless for a while, but most of his life was spent with relatives who didn't really want him.

In high school he was beaten by the jocks and they wrote words like "queer" on his pick up truck. So he and his friend, Kris Novoselic, turned to British nihilistic post-punk bands to fill their emotional voids. Kurt actually attempted suicide few times until he finally succeeded. It was through several hard attempts that Nirvana rose to fame, which unfortunately was short-lived. However, his legacy still remains to this day...he certainly was idol of my teenage years and I have great memories and respect for him. It is sad that he never was a happy, whole man😢

R.I.P Curt




He had a cancer moon... A divorce would hit a cancer moon pretty hard. Makes sense!

Yes, very typical.

Probably every famous Pisces has the same struggles when they look around at how other people LOVE the spotlight for ego strokes ..... it's not normal for Fish to love ego strokes.

In fact, Pisces realize that there's not really much point in life, at all ... and that really doesn't coincide with the ego.

^^^ I think it is because Hole's music has that kick of life in it that is just absent from Nirvana. In my honest opinion, Nirvana is not that musical. I would say that Hole, Modest Mouse, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Elliott Smith were all more talented artists that came out of a similar environment in the 90's.



The Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana were written for and headed up by Pisces men. Hole was written for and headed by a Crabby.

exactly, i think being a girl you have to love hole because you can really FEEL courtney's pain and emotion i.e. doll parts etc. so you can feel it more on a female level.

Nirvana made power chords and noise.


Given the fact Kurt Cobain(and Nirvana)were admittedly very much inspired by punk rock, those influences were evident in the music.
If anything, Nirvana's success was largely a matter of being in the right place(Seattle)at the right time(early '90s)--along with having the right image & connections locked down. Courtney Love & Dave Grohl were also able to capitalize on Nirvana's fame & further build their respective careers.

On that note, I'll gladly give credit where due: in terms of creative lyrical poetry, Kurt's talent was one-of-a-kind. I've always said that if Nirvana hadn't broken into the mainstream, they'd be credited as having been one of the best underground music acts of the nineties.
Since that clearly wasn't the outcome, somewhat of an "overrated" reputation is attached to Nirvana's legacy.

You mention Kurt's lyrical genius. That is an interesting point because on the Bleach album the lyrics are pretty non sensical, but "Heart Shaped Box, on the other hand, has fantastic lyrics.



Ehh but it was soo much different than their earlier music.


Bleach, nonsensical-- maybe; but I think it was the feeling behind it, and that was part of the appeal.


gimme back my alcohol! lol 😛


Last thing I really liked from them was Incesticide, but that featured a lot of their older music, b-sides, I think.

I'm surprised you even know about Insecticide lol Its just that Insecticide is a pretty unknown album and I always thought you were more of a preppy girl for some reason.

@Juke
That cover has some good points but I think Amy's voice is at times to indulgent. I understand its a cover and she is trying to have fun but that song is such a dreadful scream of agony into the void. It's probably Kurt's best vocal if you ask me...

I love the Smashing Pumpkins but I heard Billy Corgan was an a-hole. I do love James Iha. I am not too crazy for Courtney Love. She is just meh. I think people just need to accept Nirvana for Nirvana. I think Musically alice in chains was better but Cobain's emotions are on another level. His lyrics really catch. I always wondered if Cobain was influenced by this poem for Come as You Are.

—Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again , come , come.??

-Rumi

Plus I do love me some Mudhoney and Soundgarden. In my crazy imagination for 2 years I would want Tupac Shakur a great writer, Jim Morrison great writer, John Lennon great writer, and Kurt Cobain to come together to write some music. Those lyrics would be on another plateau.
