| Nirvana, Great band or overrated Bull Shit?
Me, i'm no Jesus so I'll leave you be with your little opinions on why Nirvana is the greatest band ever and why Kurt Cobain was a lyrical genius. Let me step in and break the peace.
Kurt Cobain was not a lyrical genius, in fact his lyrics made no sense at all. But he was a melodic genius, and who wouldn't be after ripping off The Beatles for all his life. He made songs you could groove too, which is really not all that amazing because if you look deep into the Sixties you'll find that nearly every band had that amazing ability. But, he also brought something new to the table, something Teens would latch onto without hesitation to make there worthless teenage lives seem more exciting, somehow deep, that something was called: Angst.
Angst and its Affect on the Needing Teenage Mind.
Every teenager is trying to find themselves, trying to find something to be. Kurt Cobain gave it to them in a way no hairband could, he gave them his emotions through his empathy and the mass' raped them (See Rape Me). They raped everything about him, they took it, patented it, and sold it. And of course the kids bought it up, they bought the shirts and the wristbands and the pictures and the guitars, anyything that represtented there need to be heard. But Kurt Cobain was heard, and he hated it. He hated the mainstream. He hated that his face was being commercialised and shown all over the place so he could get raped by the contract he made with some bastard moneygrubbing record label. All of these kids contributed to his rape, his angst.
All finish this off tommorrow by going into his suicide. |
