"The whole enbie thing feels so contrived, as if these people grew up idolizing David Bowie or Kurt Cobain or any other androgynous rockstar icon in the past 40 years and thought that they could achieve that same androgynous effect by shoehorning neutral pronouns into everyone's vocabulary and demand"
"Emaciated but hot, not as talented as he thought, nihilistic and idealistic, lover of bimbos... Guy pretty much had it all and still found a way to complain. Patron saint of many of you"
"Can you imagine how insufferable they'd prob end up being on twitter/instagram? Imagine Jeff Buckley getting #metoo'ed by some random hoe he had a one-night stand with in mid-2000s."
"George Carlin and Kurt Cobain are easy ones. Former would've lost his edge and had to go on contrarian grifter podcasts to keep eating and the latter would've flip-flopped between some They/He bullshit and telling Joe Rogan that windmills cause autism."
"also saw something earlier about the music industry only promoting label plants after kurt cobain died and i thought it was an interesting theory"
"David Geffen had Kurt killed."
"I'm justsitting here waiting to downvote the post about how its a good thing that Kurt Cobain died bc his opinions might be cringe now. Seriously, why the fuck have I seen that disgusting thought pop on here more than once."
"There was nothing particularly interesting about Kurt's upbringing. Just a dirtbag with a band playing sludgy punk music in random shitholes. Kurt Cobain's fanbase is one of the earliest 'parasocial relationship' examples I know of, and way before the internet was widespread."
"Where's their James Dean, their Kurt Cobain, their Julian Casablancas, Alex Turner?"
"When I was around 15, I sat next to my best friend on the school bus home and said: 'If I'm not a world famous rockstar by 27, I'm going to kill myself.' Those ten years have vanished from my eyes... I felt certain that somehow, magically, I would be this uber-significant figure in popular culture. "
"No matter how many times I remember that that guy was the drummer for Nirvana, I immediately erase the fact from my mind. Like, that can't be right wtf."
"I like his paintings and weird art installation shit. I think it's creepy how he got really into that book Shadowland about Frances farmer which has since been debunked as like 80% bullshit and since his death, he has been mythologized in a way that is also largely bullshit similar to Frances lol."
"They want to be John Lennon, James Dean or Kurt Cobain. We have the 27 Club now."
"Kurt Cobain and David Wojnarowics would be hateful shitlibs that rant non-stop about wanting to murder politicians they don't like."
"Literal angel. Her and Kurt Cobain were this suburban white boy's first celebrity crushes."
"The fact that he didn't go with a bang (no pun intended) like Cobain or Chris Cornell, and instead just dragged for years in a spiral of addiction and isolation."
"Or was he so 80s Seattlepilled that he just didn't know how hot he was"
"When I was a teenager it was so easy. I compared myself to artists like Daniel Johnston, Kurt Cobain and Ian Curtis, I was suicidal but I took comfort in those thoughts, the idea that I could opt out anytime I wanted."
"i would have loved to hear the girls discuss monumental events such as: -the isabella stewart gardner museum art heist -reality bites -the waco siege -kurt cobain's suicide (courtney did nothing wrong) -fiona apple's 'this world is bullshit' speech at the '97 vma's. -y2k"
"I remember watching this Kurt Cobain interview where he chided the public for seeing sex as "all that", in all of its heights of excitement and puritanism."
"Please no courtney killed Kurt stuff it's boring"
"'I wish I was like you, easily amused' - Curt Kobain"
"Do you think Kurt Cobain was aware of how hot he was Or was he so 80s Seattlepilled that he just didn't know how hot he was"
"I compared myself to artists like Daniel Johnston, Kurt Cobain and Ian Curtis"
"I remember watching this Kurt Cobain interview where he chided the public for seeing sex as "all that", in all of its heights of excitement and puritanism."
"A bit more of an extreme example but the same goes for the whole "Courtney killed Kurt" idea. Many of the people invested in this theory have no idea how habitually depressed people work, or how complex codependent relationships like that can be."

"You say Kurt Cobain, I say Bronze Age Pervert."
