Fairly enough, he capitalised off the same media. To me, though, it's not about Cobain, nor is it about Gaga. It's about hero worship, and taking it out of hand. I don't like the fact these artists hog so much of the spotlight when more original artists obviously go unheard.
Go to youtube, any time, and sift through the videos. Youtube is quite possibly the biggest media source there is right now. Count how many times you see Gaga's face. She's just slathered all over the place. ****, I've even had her suggested to me because I watched video of Sun Ra covering the 'Batman' song(How the hell that connects, I don't know).
It's completely out of hand. As much as I respect a figure like Cobain for his stance on a lot of things, I think him, and Gaga, have the same issue for being overexposed, and both I think have majorly slowed down the natural progression of music.
I'll leave it at that, can we quit speaking of Cobain in this thread, now?
