More from Kurt Cobain
"I'm a firm believer in karma, and that motherfucker is going to get what he deserves, eventually. That man will be caught, he'll go to jail, and he'll be raped."
"I'm not like them, but I can pretend."
"I'm a happy person. I'm a really miserable person."
"I was always a really happy kid. I was a class clown. But then my parents got divorced, and I turned into a really shy, withdrawn person."
"I'm usually offended by people like Vanilla Ice and stuff like that."
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.
