The Official Nirvana/Kurt Cobain Thread (fan, quote, song, suicide)

good band, but they're a bit overrated.

People have been on the Nirvana "bandwagon" for over a decade a now. It's not a "lately" occurence, they didn't just get popular out of nowhere. By the way, you don't have to be a certain age to appreciate music from the past (and ten years ago in music is not that long ago at all). Ever since Kurt's death, I've heard nothing but teen obsession and typical "smells like teen spirit" blah blah blah. I think it's time to move on, and find new music to talk about

i like them but the more and more i read these forms it seems like they are losing there real fans ones that liked them from when they first heard them not knowing who they were, and being replaced with people who jus think their cool others do, like some stupid fad.... yea me to like many others could not even old enough to understand nirvana when when they were around ...i like other old bands and i think they were jus good as nirvana they jus get commonly brought up

Its a shame when liking a band becomes a fad to everyone, and then if you do actually like the band for their music not just to 'jump on the bandwagon', other people just think of you as some kid who follows the trends and has no real views...

Well most people get introduced to the bands through "trends" to begin with. If Nirvana did not get mainstream exposure, there wouldn't be 500 topics discussed about them on this site.

^I know exactly what your talking about. It sucks, but I just ignore it............ I mean if you like certain music you listen to it no matter what people say about it or you.

but in my case it's pretty different...nirvana are very famous where i live but not throug kids my age, through older people so it's kinda weird. and i know it's weird to see a 15 year old with a Nirvana T-shirt but the age doesn't speek all the time...there could be fake older people as well

^There could be fake older people, but with age comes wisdom and hopefully a sense of individuality.

what can be "fake" about listening to nirvana? everyone knows them, past or present, everyone talks about them, past or present. their music is so easily accessible. nevermind, in utero, and unplugged are available at cheap prices at your local record stores or online. not to mention, mainstream radio still has numerous nirvana songs still in current rotation.
