Actually, I like all the songs that haven't got a sh*t load of radio play.

Probably, he had just gotten evicted during the recording of Nevermind and was living in his car. I'm pretty sure he was aware it was poppy and wanted money. Hence why he agreed to a music video, signing to geffen etc. I think this whole "Kurt Cobain was thrown into unwanted fame" thing is slightly exaggerated. I think Kurt began to dislike his fame once he achieved it but if he'd really hated the idea of being famous he would've never left Subpop.
