‘I've just realized why I never liked Nirvana. I only heard Nevermind in 1997 approximately, long after the story of the band's success and Kurt Cobain's death. I had witnessed the crazy hype around the music and the crazy despair when the guy had committed suicide. I had had to listen to the extreme fascination for the guy who was such a rebel, couldn't stand commercial success and found it so disgusting that he had chosen the bitterest of end.



And when I listened to Nevermind, it was just boy band music. I remember reading a review in a magazine in which the author said "it's so good it feels like a best of." Yes, Nevermind feels like a best of in the worst possible of ways. Everything feels terribly calculated, complacent and hollow. I loved it on first and second listen, and stopped listening to the album forever after the sixth or seventh time. It was just an insufferable self-conceited guy who knows he can drive women wet by snapping his fingers, the exact undignified attention whore who's learnt guitar for the sole purpose of strumming it on his own in a corner at parties, pretending he's just that deep lonely depressed sensitive guy when he's just the shallowest of morons who lacks any scruples when it comes to being popular. Exactly the kind of individual whose personality makes other guys learn the sad reality that when it comes to girls, honesty is really the last thing you should go for that which is false of course but still, he polluted a whole era. A bit like Jamiroquai.



Because I only heard the band after the whole story, I was never able to become conscious of this until very recently because it's hard to say this about a guy who committed suicide. But yeah, Nirvana feels so commercial, constructed, dishonest and fake that I would be ready to believe that Kurt Cobain never wrote anything and was murdered for the sake of the whole narrative. Propaganda aimed at kids in order to make them understand that if they don't submit to the system, if they are true rebels, that's what waiting for them. Even if the guy was as much of a rebel as Justin Bieber.’



You missed the real deal and inhaled the vaporous bullshit that came post self imposed head splatter
