RARE: Neil Young....on Kurt Cobain suicide / Sleeps With Angels
Sorry @[fungo] for not responding earlier about why 'Nirvana no!' but I'm doing it now - and I hope succinctly - for two reasons: first, because you're on DeBaser and just being part of it is a synonym for intelligence and curiosity in the musical and artistic field, and second, because Nirvana is undoubtedly the most representative band of the grunge movement. They have become a legend in the musical realm, managing to capture the mood of an entire generation, transforming 'alternative rock' into a mass phenomenon. The suicide, as well as the existential rage and self-destruction of their leader, Kurt Cobain, has certainly fueled the myth of the 'beautiful and romantic' young artist, and it is also true that the impact of Nirvana's music on the '90s is undeniably strong and I would say almost dramatic. In short, they embodied that very apathy of the '90s which never transformed into a real opposition to the destruction of an entire generation, a struggle to rebel against discomfort, not just of the youth but of an entire society at the mercy of capitalist power (represented by the one percent of the world's population!). To that anarchism of post-modernity that still lies ahead and seems never-ending. To the defeat of the peoples.
I'm not against Nirvana but against the era they represented, with 'the nihilistic sarcasm of punk' that some have pointed out.
Using a peremptory statement like mine about Nirvana might outrage some, but I can't isolate their music from the socio-political context that shaped them and which, mind you, destroyed Kurt Cobain's life. No, I can't listen to Nirvana, not anymore.
Neil Young- My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)
