I'm a huge Nirvana/Kurt fan. His songs inspire me, in a weird sort of way.. I'm not sure what it is about them, because its not like Nirvana's songs' subjects are always completely unique, but when I hear them they really make me think, 'What was Kurt thinking about/feeling at the time when he wrote this?' The emotion of his songs are pretty clear, but like most artists, theres the clear, expressed concept and then many underlying ideas and feelings that may or may not be noticed. Depends on how you listen to them. The problem with a lot of the mainstream Nirvana is that while it is still Nirvana, and they are still Kurt's songs, a lot of them lack some of that originality and raw emotion that Nirvana started out with... At least that's how I hear them..
