Why can't you put Soundgarden and Nirvana in the same subgenre? Why can't you put anyone in Nirvana's subgenre? Perhaps if you could define these genres a little more, you can put them back where they belong, and let punk rock be punk rock.

Oh, and "hair bands" is the name of a fad, not a genre.

does it really matter what genre people put them into? if its good music, its good music. the end.

Wow
 

^ You have a really good point, but I think it's good to see what other peoples opinions are. But I agree with you. :clap:

Kurt Cobain is my hero!!!!I learned to play the guitar because of him!!!!!:)

Kurt Cobain is the God of Grundge, but I think that Dave Grohl is far more talented than he was. I mean, he's was drummer with nirvana, drummer in QOTSA, and lead guitarist/singer in Foo Fighters. PLUS he helps out Tenacious D too. What a great musician...


RIP Kurt...

rest in peace Kurt Cobain
who really cares what genre they were THEY KICKED ASS!!!!!!!
kurt was one of my major influences to pick up a guitar.

long live NIRVANA

Yeah, Nirvana were pretty good. Not as good as the legends tend to make out, but they were good nonetheless.

OMG, Kurt Cobain is like... wow! I agree with you 'independant loser kid' but at the end of the day good music is good music no matter what genre it falls in. But there is one thing i don't get about him, nirvana were trying to make a statement yes? and to stand out from the crowd, and then when people liked them and they became famous, kurt killed himself?! I realy don't get this, someone explain please? is it anyone else or just me being stupid?

it's not such a simplistic situation as it's made out to be in that post. He had other parts of his life not connected to the band or with their rising popularity. plus everyone reacts to things differently, you can't possibly try to determine any sort of cause when dealing with suicide (for the sake of this discussion, the possibilty of murder is ruled out). there's way too many factors to be able to give an explanation.

Bill board
 

If any of yall live in Atlanta you have probally seen the bill board that has that picture that Rolling Stone took it has nose up and its saus "Cobain Lives" and at the bottem rite corner it says 99x (the best radio stacion ever)

Weird Mosher Freak, the most popular explanation for his suicide was a medication he'd been put on as a child, Ritalin, which is commonly used to treat ADHD and the sort. As the story goes, it caused numerous health problems for him, primarily these nasty stomach pains. They eventually got to a point where the poor guy couldn't handle them.

eeewwwwww.......
 

Hair metal.Yuck.

And let us not forget the most important contribution of Dave Grohl to music, his fantastic PROBOT project! :bowdown:

Nirvana was one of the greatest bands ever. There not exactly punk. I dont know anyone who dislikes there music!!
:band:

Man, just about everybody I know cant stand Kurt Cobain....they say, 'Cobain was a s***** guitarist and Nirvana sucked ass,' then I just tell 'em all to shut the **** up...
they dont know what theyre talking about... Nirvana is one of the greatest bands ever!!! :hphones:

yeah. I know, but I think he was murdered. A lot of people I know say he was, but then a lot say he killed himself. So i really don't know, i wasn't there.lol. RIP :bowdown: Kurt.

DUDE!! he didnt f****** kill himself!! those bastards were just making stupid **** up...the have evidence that courtny love hiered somebody to kill poor ol' Kurt! Im sick of explaining this :banghead:

But he shot himself. He did. Really. Whether you like it or not.

Nirvana is the greatest band of the past 2 decades no questions asked. There just that good. Only if Kurt were here i would think emo/pop-punk wouldn't be here.

R.I.P. Kurt

huh? emo and pop-punk were aound even before nirvana

emo's got about five years on cobain (rites of spring, embrace). pop-punk has even more.

LIES! THEY HAVE EVIDENCE THAT WHATS HER NAME HIRED SOMEBODY TO KILL HIM!!

:D Course they do. Quick tip: don't believe everything the internet tells you.

What Really Happened:

Kurt Cobain Was Eaten By An Anaconda.

You should write a book about that dude, then release a DVD of it. Go on, rape the guy's legacy, everyone else has.

I DIDNT GET THAT FROM THE INTERNET!!!!

Well ok, humour me then. Why, if there is "evidence" that Courtney Love hired someone to kill the father of her child, has she never been bought to trial for the crime?

It's time to face facts, Kurt Cobain shot himself, leaving behind a daughter to grow up without a father. Nice one Kurt.

Legacy....

I like nirvana, but everyone talks about Kurt as if he were an effing god

Indeed they do. I wonder how many t-shirts he and Che Guevara have sold combined.

I bet half of the t-shirt owners coudn't name four songs.

Kurt Cobain is the messiah of grunge music. Dave Grohl is his disciple - taking it deep within our souls.

But "grunge" was around before Kurt Cobain had even picked up a guitar dude.

.....I DONT WANNA CUZ ITS NOT TRUE!!! HE WAS MURDERED

How do you know? You Were never there............so blah..........lol No one will ever know how the story ever went, But it doesn't matter how he died. All that matters now is that he is dead. He was an AWSOME guy, and he was and still is loved for his talent and the way he could just reach out and make it feel like the song he wrote was just 4 you. The world lost a great gift when we lost Kurt, even if we don't know how he was killed. So lets stop arguing about this. :wavey:
peace out.

EXACTLY!!!... music is music...whats done is done...theres nothing we can do about it now...kurt was awesome...but he is no more :hphones:

Right on

As I said, Cobain was the Messiah of Grunge. In otherwords, the saviour who has pushed it forward and made it popular. Dave Grohl is the disciple because he has taken what Kurt did into new realms.

Green River and Soundgarden r the "forefathers" of grunge no doubt about it. As junior saint said kurt cobain pushed grunge forward and made it popular. But i wouldn't say he was the saviour because was never dying in nirvana's infancy.

grunge was never dying* sorry typed to fast

Who killed Kurt Cobain?
 

This is always an interesting topic dont know if its been done before but I strongly believe that he killed himself. He had tried to with pills about a month before, and he was genuinly depressed. He aimed his musics at the outcasts in society, and in the end the bullies and the so called "cool" kids started listening to it, and he hated that. Sure, Courtney Love has serious problems, but I wouldn't say she murdered Kurt.
