I do think that Kurt was plagued by a feeling that nobody understood him or got him. I think he saw himself as an ineffective communicator and there was so much he wanted to express and so he relied on his music to be heard. You can imagine how he felt when the jocks and rednecks thought they understood him. He was continually frustrated and felt so alone a lot in this world.❤

Nirvana is probably one of the best examples of hard work pays off. They literally started off so broke that they were having trouble paying off bills. And yes, hard to believe that the world’s largest grunge band started off with no money. Now if I were them, I wouldn’t believe in myself and I would probably just give up on trying to make it big. But Nirvana (specifically Kurt and Krist) didn’t think or do that. They kept working and working and going to shows and preforming. Kurt was literally singing and playing the guitar while dealing with stomach pains. And after 3 hard years of work, they did it. They had become the #1 grunge band in the world. They went from selling thousands of records to selling millions. They went from preforming in front of a few hundred people or a thousand people to preforming in front of tens of thousands of people. They had become the biggest band of the early 90s. And that is a good example of why hard work pays off.

I was thinking about it & I realized that Nirvana was touring Bleach in Europe right when the Berlin Wall fell. In fact, they started the German leg of the tour two days before it fell. Not that they were some huge stadium act at the time, but I think that the excitement of the era definitely contributed to their success, because they were an American punk band. I think they were actually bigger in Europe first before Nevermind was released, you can kinda see this vibe in 1991: The Year Punk Broke.

I've never bought the idea that he didn't put much thought into the lyrics. With the number of rewrites he did it's clear he put a lot of thought into them. I've always thought he was just distancing himself from how truly personal a lot of them are.
@joleneloveland46028 ай бұрын
Indeed. I think he resented people trying to "figure him out" as if that could be done from a few lines he wrote. So I think he very much tried to simplify his songs by making his situations more universal than personal. But because of his raw emotional vocals you could tell the words meant a lot to him. So as not to encourage speculation, in interviews he would down play them. I think the last thing he wanted was anybody feeling sorry for him.❤

I was born the same year as Cobain so may have similar/crossover influences. I played guitar and wrote songs from 89-99. I always thought lyrics were secondary and often threw many different ideas into the same song just to get a rhyme or words that sounded good together. I do believe Cobain was much the same, certainly with the lyrics to most songs that made up the first.two albums. I believe he may have put himself under pressure to have more cohesive lyrics for In Utero though to satisfy the fans.
@pendantairplane22 күн бұрын
Honestly not putting thoughts into lyrics doesn’t make them any less deeper. The beauty of Kurt’s lyricism is that so much emotion is put into it that digging into them feels more like psychoanalyzing someone rather than encrypting a message. It’s top tier abstract art

This is the first of your videos that I've ever seen, and it absolutely shreds the lazy video essays I have so far seen here about music from my formative era during the alt/grunge renaissance. It's really satisfying to consume a video made by someone whose personal investment in the topic is unmistakable and whose research goes deeper than Wikipedia and Rolling Stone. So I've got to say thanks, man - my radio heroes as a kid were Kurt, Layne, Scott, Chris, and Eddie... and Eddie's the only one that life, the industry, or a combination of both didn't break in the end. I miss them all, and getting to see Kurt's stories done right in this format has been a treat.

I don't think any of their music is incredible. But I credit Kurt with being the 90's version of Bowie. As a curator keeping alive & getting back together bands who he loved and/or influenced him which were IMO much more groundbreaking & overall musically prescient than Nirvana. If nothing else, he had impeccable musical taste.

@@paulwblair an easy example is in regards to Nirvana's final recording session. the information was easily accessible to him given how much access he had to courtney when he was writing the book. instead he peddled BS like the following: * You Know You're Right had lyrics like "walking in the piss" when this was in Courtney's version. * Kurt played drums on Marigold (the entire song was recorded by Dave and Dave only) * Kurt screams "Pain" in You Know You're Right when listening to the acapella he clearly just screams "hey" * He attributes "Skid Marks" and "Butterfly" to Kurt when these were both written by Dave and were recorded without Kurt around (the second song is actually Butterflies and is a popular unreleased Foo Fighters song) Bonus: He claims Courtney "co-wrote" Pennyroyal Tea when the first recording is of Kurt and Dave recording it in 1990 in their apartment. The book is a piece of garbage full of inaccurate information. Before you give me the "oh, how could he have known," there are other folks like Gillian Gaar who had less access than he did and put in the time and research and got paid less to actually obtain the facts. If you need more proof of the worthlessness of the book, happy to keep going. Thanks.

They were the beginning of my independent taste in music. It`s still funny to me, born in 1980, to hear people born in the 70`s, hate on Nirvana. They cannot see the genious of his melodic hooks and lyrics, for the death of their beloved hair /glam metal genre! Had he just found the strength to kick the heroin and continued to write music, I am 100% sure he would rise to Lennon level legend! And all the hair metal dudes would still hate on them just because! Huh, huh, huh This is cool!
