Axl made many homophobic comments back in the 80s and 90s (explanation not excuse - Axl has history of childhood SA and I believe at is a diagnose schizophrenic. Like many misguided people of his generation, he channeled that into homophobia) He also had many high profile DV incidences with his partners. Kurt was a feminist with a great deal of hatred for homophobia after growing up seeing his mother being abused and having a very close relationship with his sister who is gay. He tried to just ignore Axl asking them to go on tour but after he started to feel insulted by Kurt, Kurt started publicly stating how he felt about Axl. Apparently Kurt and Courtney shared a similar odd sense of humor and the whole “shut up bïtch” thing was very funny to them.

[@manueltapia1859]

Man thats make me love more Kurt and still feel shame from Axel 😮

[@_tia.no.tamera]

The beef between them was Kurt’s fault💯 he had every right to not wanna perform with them due to his own beliefs and have his own opinions on them but to publicly bash them simply because he didn’t want to perform started their beef. Axl does have issues but this would’ve never happened if he just said no thanks and went on about his business. But thank god it did and we got an iconic moment from it that had me GAGGED!!!!

[@higoodbye7545]

@@_tia.no.tamera ??? you missed how Axl is kinda a messy homophobe and misogynist, if he was, idk, a more tolerable human, maybe it would be kurt's fault. Axl made the beef for himself homie

@@higoodbye7545 can you read?

[@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaid]

​@_tia.no.tamera You're kidding me, right? 'Has his problems'? That's what you say when someone has a bad habit and does themselves damage. But once someone's words or actions hurt others, it is not only acceptable but desirable that others stand up to them and stop them. Axl was homophobic, and Kurt was showing support to the LGBTQ+ community. Also, you're saying Kurt should have kept his opinion to himself and moved on. Again, this might have been true if Axl only spoke about Kurt and it was something personal between them; but Axl was speaking against an entire community. It was not just about the 2 of them, it was about people all over the world, so saying Kurt should have kept it private is ridiculous. In this instance, not saying anything about it would be like agreeing with what Axl's saying (or at the very least, it would come off as agreeing with this). Are you saying we should let injustice keep occurring and let people hurt others just to avoid conflict?

From the mind of my older sister who was 10 when this aired and a major fan of Nirvana:: Rap€ Me is ABOUT MTV and how they treat artists like commodity instead of people. They knew this and said, Not on Our show!! It was a huge F You and won them a lot of Cred

[@spatchmo6938]

I was actually mildly surprised to see that Tori Amos was there. At that time, "Little Earthquakes" was her only album out. She didn't have a more mainstream "hit" until "Cornflake Girl" on her second album. I knew "Little Earthquakes" was successful, I just didn't think it was mainstream enough to have a presence on MTV

[@HB-xf2xl]

They played her on 120 minutes and Alternative Nation all the time. That’s how I found her. I don’t think she had many songs that were on TRL (Spark in ‘98 maybe). She was a late night MTV staple tho.

@@MultiOdom It means that Kurt Cobain always tried to avoid to become a mere product for the music industry, but once he was dead that was exactly what the industry (and those who inherited his state, I guess) made of him.

This show was like night and day compared to the previous year awards show. It was all about grunge and gangsta rap in 1992. 1991 was all about Motown urban dance music, and adult contemporary alternative. The 90’s had arrived in full effect here for sure.

The main thing about these VMAs that gets to me is the fact that Smells Like Nirvana of all songs was nominated for Best Male Video, and it was against Tears in Heaven. I mean, I love Weird Al’s work (I’m self-described as white and nerdy so I kind of have to 😂), and it is a hilarious video, but there is no way he could’ve won over one of the biggest tear jerking songs of the entire decade. Even Al knew he had no chance of winning with competition like that - not to mention Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen.
