More from Kurt Cobain
"I'm a product of a spoiled, materialistic, success-driven environment, but I have no capacity to live up to those expectations."
"I have a very low attention span. I get bored easily."
"I'm just a person who happens to be a musician. I'm not a rock star. I don't want to be a rock star."
"I used to think when I was young, that I was adopted by my mother because they found me in a spaceship, and they let me out, and I was from a different planet."
"Humans are stupid. I'm ashamed to be human."
About Kurt Cobain (1967-1994)
American singer-songwriter and Nirvana frontman whose Nevermind (1991) ended the hair-metal era; died of suicide April 5, 1994. Closely associated with Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam frontman and grunge contemporary) and Layne Staley (Alice in Chains frontman). For an intellectual contrast, see Axl Rose, Guns N' Roses frontman — Nevermind toppled GNR's Use Your Illusion II from #1 in January 1992, ending the late-80s Sunset Strip excess Cobain's grunge austerity was specifically reacting against. The cleanest single moment in late-20th-century rock — the literal generational pivot from hair-metal excess to flannel-shirt anti-rock-star authenticity.
