Question Kurt Cobain would be 40 this year

Nirvana was the first band I really loved. I felt some type of a connection with their music and I was 13 years old when he committed suicide. Kinda dates myself that he would be 40 this year, but it is still tragic. I don't think after all of these years that I am completely over it. I embrace his music still, but feel he had a lot left to say. For those Nirvana fans, my question to you is how did you deal with Kurt's suicide?

well I just joined this forum and was talking about something that had been on my mind. Thought there might be some Nirvana fans left. Thats cool if you don't care, I am just looking to talk with those who do care.

Well when I heard of his suicide, yeah I was pissed. I was one of those, "Kurt is my husband, I love him more than myself, obsessed with him and the hatred of Courtney Love" people. I was your age when he died. I heard about it in grade 9 Religion class. lol thinking back I realize how immature I was back then. It wasn't like I really knew this guy. It was just an obsession I had. Like you, Nirvana was also the first band I loved. There was like this bond between all Nirvana fans everywhere. Like we all really got each other. Some who never experienced this will laugh and likely think we are all dumb, but this is how it was. Nirvana represented my youth. Today, Nirvana still represents my youth, but I am not the fan I used to be.

Today whenever I here people talk about Nirvana I just roll my eyes. I guess it's just that I feel they are talking about me...making fun of me or mocking me in some way. I also don't think the people who are into them nowadays really understand the impact they had back when Kurt was alive. It's almost as if they are trying to pretend to be someone they aren't. I also find their music boring now. I don't think it's because I over played them. I think it's because I have grown up. I don't need Nirvana anymore. It's not that I disrespect them, I'm just apathetic.

I guess he is. I'm still here after all. So you can't say he's completely wrong.

I sometimes wonder about dead artists and whether or not they'd still be good. Like, would a 60+ Hendrix still blow out packed arenas, or local bars?

I love Nirvana, but Cobain would have done well to do a side project that was just him and his acoustic.

Yeah he would. There are plenty of people that he could rip-off in that genre.

Yeah. Take Smells Like Teen Spirit for example, it's SUCH a ripoff of Ain't Seen Nothing Yet by Bachman Turner Overdrive.

Smells Like Teen Spirit may have been a rip-off, but it did what it was supposed to do, which is open people's eyes to a great band and genre that were going relatively unnoticed by most people.

He didn't write it to be a totally original masterpiece, he wrote to be a pop song, and it was.
