that was how he lived his life. legend

Yeah, and subtly promoted his new album "Nevermind". Genius 🤓

He contradicted himself all the time. I think he very carefully chose the name Nirvana.

You miss so much when you steer off course in to finer details. Context is everything and you get it.

Yeah explaining this to certain people always got to me, having to come up with a meaning is easy, but I was never dumb enough to need one

💙🦋

And yet he appeared on the cover and they approved it. Do you see how it’s nonsense? “Corporate magazine still suck so here I am in the cover of one getting paid and advertising it so people will go buy it and give money to the corporate magazine” who Ah what a rebel 🙄

@@jpc2470don’t hate the player! Hate the game!

​@@davidvenomI don't have any evidence for this, but I am very sure that publicity like that is part of the contract. Cobain always had strong feelings towards the music industry. I also think that this "dilemma" is a big part of why he killed himself.

@@moritzkorsch9029 that’s a good point maybe he was forced to do it by contract or whatever. But still doesn’t change the fact the magazine embraced it and didn’t make him change shirts or use a different pic so clearly his effort to protest the magazine didn’t bother them

Without any doubt Kurt RIP

Still is

ANAVRIN- YOU, Season 2

Absolutely agree 👍 👏 the NIRVANA word belongs to Kurt. Man who sold the world........RIP bro

I hate to say this but he was wrong that word is hardly ever used and I have no memory of any circumstance of when that word has been used outside of describing his band. And this isn't just referencing to me it's people I know and in general families don't use this as a word, The band also is not as popular as it once was so it's not really disgust as much as it was, As for the band being a household name it wasn't, many people loved his music but not everyone has heard of him, infact there were many who had never even heard of his band, however they most likely have heard of him in some form, the band nor word was by any means household, however his name probably was.

Kurt was genuinely annoyed and he should've been.

@@cosmicabyss7358 why should he be annoyed someone asking the meaning behind his band name in which he created?

@@mntechtechnicaldifficultie3348 Because Kurt answered him that he doesn't remember that wasn't a joke he truly doesn't remember.

the interviewer came across as earnest - disappointed that the response was juvenile

@@cosmicabyss7358 okay? And the interview explained what he’s heard or read and wanted to know if it was true. No need to be a douche lol

He was basically saying the interviewer is an idiot. Such a basic question that requires no deep thought!

@@kw9568I definitely get why people would think this. But in my mind it seems really reasonable to ask how a band got its name, and in most cases it probably would provoke deep thought. I could definitely be wrong, that’s just how I see it.

😂😂😂😂 it seems like he got irritated with ppl so quickly!! It cracks me up 😂😂😂

@@Potentialaj Well Kurt answered him and answered him honestly that he didn't remember. Then the guy proceeds to tell Kurt on camera what it means or what its inspiration is. That makes no sense to even begin to try and tell someone how they felt and how that translated into a conversation that lead to the bands name. Especially when the person who had those feelings and thoughts doesn't even remember.

Kurt's smile made me smile.

Kobain?

@@Pissbaby991 Kobain

Probably because, This is Kurt right on the cusp of super stardom!!! And maybe because Kurt is so candid and kinda downplaying the meaning of why he names his name Nirvana! You see classic Kurt here! Almost all pleasant aspects of his personality... You have a journalists/fanboy reading into every little thing he said or every lyric he sang! And you definitely, (whether you realized it or not) at least subconsciously picked up on his genuineness and sincerity; by witnessing what would later on in time be the all too familiar scenario of Kurt getting reallychrrsed out, and kinda embarrassed of something he did say or create or did or claimed etc, and having his words ready back to him is something he hated, as much as her hated having his ideas and images pinned down and concisely framed up for the passerby general public housewives and others he didn't like but obcessed over him... And classic Kurt sarcasm while being direct, crass, and just shrugging off historic nirvana questions from interviewers while always being polite and pleasant as Kurt always was to people!! And lastly his humor and coolness, his rockstar style was super unique to look at and watch him just exist sometimes!!! Topped of by that smile and the simple fact that Kurt Cobain was probably one of the best looking men that have ever played music as far as his face and just his way of carrying himself while not being muscular or a big stud he was definitely a sought-after man women were obsessed with him!!! Both my sisters were like cult member fans of his. And I grew up idolizing Kurt and was hurt deeply when he died! I still remember the day vividly... And how it felt after you just knew he wasn't out there anymore keeping it real in that little space he occupied!!!...😞😵🤕... That little space he occupied with very often be a space where a tremendous creativity and Sonic heavenly sounds and songs would be coming from and emitting into the world! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼⚜️❇️💛

Cuz he looks flawless

Probably because he never mentioned Jim Morrison as an influence and you can see him talking like Jim Morrison.😃 And commit suicide at the age of 27? C'mon 😂

@@StellaAdler_ yup, a lot of people don't realize that Kurt's looks helped Nirvana become superstars, on top of the very accessible but still alternative awesome music

oCD

Thats what made him cool, and he was true to not giving a fuck always, which carried over to himself even when it came to his addiction and death.

Haha of course!! But the interviewer did not realise...

Why would he? He knew he was destined for hell

It's hard to tell without more context because the interviewer could have already pissed him off. Without any context he just looks like an ass. Which he might be, I don't know and truly I don't care 😂

​@@elmango705probably better than this hate filled world!

I think he knew the reasons for a lot of these kinds of questions he kinda blew off like this. He didn’t want to spend the time trying to explain his intentions to the interviewer so he just agrees with them in the end. You can see he’s like “mmm, yea that’s kinda what I had in mind, so close enough, you got all the right assumptions as to how I formed my band.”

You're right 0 interest in the question. You cannot convince people of anything nor prove anything to them including (the truth) The stars do sign up for the interviews and everyone wants the scoop, and while they signed up for it (what they sign up for is not exactly what so many may believe) Of course when you're in high demand being pumped by the labels to do interviews as the media is all around you the paparazzi swarms and I imagine they just want to go back to living a normal life at some point (yet from what I've seen within the last few years what's normal?)

Kurt gave him a clean cut honest answer and it wasn't good enough for the person interviewing. Then the guy interviewing for whatever stupid reason decides to pry and start telling Kurt on camera what Nirvana should stand for and what people should think when they see or hear the word Nirvana. Thats messed up, I'd be annoyed as well because at that point you're putting words in my mouth and speaking to my fans like you represent me.

He wasn't really angry. It was just annoying for him cause every person that interviewed him was always wanting the deeper meaning behind everything he did, and there was no deeper meaning.

Agrred. I've always thought the same thing and so did guys like Brad Pitt and Keanu Reeves who actually tried to reach out to him. He shunned their overtures - I think just on his youthful, punk rock general principal thing - but I wish he hadn't. I can't help but wonder what could have happened in that _KEY_ moment in time from +/- September to November 1991 if instead of diving head first into Courtney Love and her gaggle of degenerate henchmen and sycophants, he cooled it with her and went with a different crowd. Sadly, it seems at that point in his life he was quite susceptible to "love bombing" and by the end of 1991, Love was pregnant with his child and thus had him firmly gripped by his short and curly's.
