He was steeped in Beatles tunes since he was small child. That's where he learned melody. He said he had to imagine what Punk music was before he even heard of it. That gave him originality. And he fused it all together to make simple, melodic, and memorable tunes. His lyrics were pure expression.

i.e.

He's the one who likes all our pretty songs and he likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun but he knows not what it means

By anyone's estimation he was talking about the Rednecks that tormented him in highschool that would show up at his shows and sing along to his tunes. But did anyone, including Cobain himself, know what any of his songs were about?

He didn't approve of "Grunge" as a label for his music, but he set himself apart by showing up to THE HEADBANGERS BALL in a wedding dress, just mocking all the hairbands.

He was truely the greatest artist of my generation and they don't make em like that hardly anymore.
