You said he wrote pop songs, comparing him with the likes of Lady Gaga. That wasn't the case.


If you're saying Kurt Cobain isn't a genius because he isn't up there with Mozart then he isn't doing badly. Plus that'd write off a lot of musicians and songwriters, a lot of geniuses probably don't measure up to classical music. Although I can't say I can compare the two, I don't listen to classical music.
