Kurt Cobain 's Suicide Like It Was Yesterday

Although they only had seven years together as a band, Nirvana is thought of as one of the most influential bands of all time. Before Kurt Cobain's death in 1994, the band only recorded three studio albums, Bleach, Nevermind, and In Utereo. Combined, their estimated total record sales are over 75 million worldwide, with Nevermind and In Utereo reaching Diamond status. Nirvana solidified their place in rock history by bringing alternative rock to the mainstream, expressing raw emotion in their music that had never been heard before and probably not since.

     Kurt didn’t drink alcohol and he didn’t use Rohypnol also known as “roofies, the date rape drug”. On March 4, 1994 he was in Rome and on the verge of leaving Courtney and the Tour his band was on he was suddenly hospitalized with these substances in his system. Mike DeWitt “Cobain’s male nanny” and Courtney were also in his hotel room. Kurt survived and brought the fact it wasn’t a suicide attempt. Dr. Galetta who treated him agreed it was an accident. Courtney had a prescription to Rohypnol. When abused they cause amnesia so Kurt didn’t remember the whole ordeal.

Kurt Donald Cobain was born February 20th, 1967 in Aberdeen, Washington. Son of Wendy Elizabeth and Donald Leland Cobain, Cobain was born in Grays Harbor Hospital. Ever since Kurt was a young boy, he has always had an interest in music as he started singing at 2 years old. At age four, he was writing songs, singing, and playing the piano. He was also listening to rock and roll at this age such as “The Beatles” or “The Ramones”. Cobain’s parents divorced at the age of nine and both of the adults remarried shortly after. Kurt has said in interviews that this had a very dramatic effect on him, even going as far as changing his personality. He had always dreamed of that perfect family, and since his parents decision stopped that from happening - he held a grudge.

Cobain’s quote impacted a variety of people, from outcasts and misfits, to accepted and popular people. His quote allowed people to be able to except

After his parents divorce we went to live with his father, his stepmother and step siblings. He later came to not get along with his new family and resented his parents ever since. What helped him go through that rough time in his life was a guitar his uncle chuck gave him, which inspired him to play and start his love for music. In 1988 he started a band named Nirvana, with their first single “love buzz”. Three years later he was signed to a major label named Greffen, soon after Kurt was being called one of the best songwriters of his

Kurt Cobain was one of rock’n’rolls most well known musicians. He was the main founder of the band Nirvana, Kurt was the lead singer and guitarist. He's most known for his song ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ which was released in 1998. Kurt had a rough adult life which was influenced by his rocky childhood. When he was in his early teens he began experimenting with drugs, which he continued to use in his adult life. On April 5, 1994 Kurt was found dead in his home where he had overdosed on heroin and shot himself with a shotgun, it was ruled a suicide by officials but many think that his wife, Courtney Love, had something to do with it. Kurt Cobain is an example of a tragic hero because he was a very dedicated musician, who tragically took his life during the height of his career

Kurt Cobain was the singer and guitarist for Nirvana. He was born in Hoquiam (population 9,000) and after six months of life moved to Aberdeen (pop. 16,500), an old lumber town at the eastern-most point of Grays Harbor. The town is about four miles wide and three miles long. On the northern and eastern sides of town are steep hills where the richer families live in Victorian-style houses. At the foot of the

Kurt Cobain is the frontman of the 90’s rock band Nirvana. He was married to Courtney Love for two years before he died in 1994. The Seattle Police Department say that he had committed suicide but conspiracy theorists say otherwise. Some say that the police are wrong and he did not commit suicide but was, in fact, murdered. They say that Courtney Love was behind it. After a documentary called Soaked In Bleach was released in

Kurt Cobain was the lead singer of the Seattle based grunge rock band Nirvana. As Nirvana's lead songwriter, guitarist, and singer, Cobain took the music industry by surprise and is considered the godfather of the grunge rock movement. Cobain and his band had a prevalent influence on young teenagers of the 1990s and were considered idols by numerous individuals. Nirvana took the popular music industry by storm when they were able to revamp the genre of grunge rock and cause a dramatic shift in music, away from the dominant genres of the 1980s. The success of Kurt Cobain was overshadowed by numerous of his psychological problems including drug addiction, his unstable marriage to music celebrity Courtney Love, and constant pressure from the

In March of 1994 he was hospitalized in Rome for an overdose, determined as an attempt for suicide, but later he snuck out of a Los Angeles drug treatment center and returned to Seattle where he committed suicide (“Kurt Cobain”). For a long time, Kurt struggled with drugs, and some believe when the limelight got too heavy for him he turned to drugs and broke down because of it. When Kurt was younger he never got the attention or acceptance he needed, and as a result he did not know how to handle all the praise. Even after his death Cobain was still praised by being assigned into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 and being made into a documentary in 2015 (Hilburn). His talent had not disappear with him, but it seemed to be more recognized when he was gone. People still relished and respected his art after his death because it was the type of art that deserved to be made a tremendous deal about. Even after his death, fans still presented their love and loss, “his suicide note was recently printed on tank tops and t-shirts, allowing morbid fans to celebrate the star,” (Latson, 1). Cobain’s impact on this world was gigantic, and his death took a remarkable amount of time for people to recover from. His whole character was too extraordinary to disappear with his physical body, and it still needed to be appreciated after his death. Kurt Cobain’s death dropped on the world like an

extreme depression for Dylan. He was on the verge of committing suicide for over a

He had ( and idk about him now, hopefully he’s recovered but like I said idk) depression and suicidal thoughts. In his music he doesn’t write songs about love, but deep problems. Some lyrics are: “stay alive, stay alive for me” , “I look outside and see a whole world better off without me in it” , “no one else is dealing with your demons” , “but im lying im so very far from fine”. His music is the most deep and depressing in his earlier music. Which is weird because if you look back at video from him at that time he seems so happy. But he’s not. And that’s one of the things he teaches his fans; just because you laugh and smile doesn’t mean you’re happy. A nice fact about him is at every show he gives a speech. It’s never the same one, but they all have meaning. He tells his fans “it’s okay to keep going” and to “stay alive” that’s his motto. He uses his experiences with depression to help other people that are going through similar things. At a concert I heard a guy yell to him “you saved my life” and I saw tyler smile at him knowing he helped yet another

It was messy, careless, and loud. Thankfully, all of the rebellious teens learned to love it. With this, Nirvana made their most famous album, Nevermind. “Smells Like Teen Spirit” made it big, and is still considered a grunge anthem. By this time, grunge and underground rock was huge. People began wearing the ripped jeans and tattered flannels with Doctor Martins and chokers. Cobain was still doing a significant amount of drugs. He was addicted to heroin and often performed and/or interviewed high. In fact, he showed up to his last show (Live at Reading 1992) in a hospital gown and wheelchair as a joke because of the comments he was getting on his drug addiction. This show went down in rock history as one of the most legendary shows. “We’d rehearsed once, the night before, and it wasn’t good,” (Goodman, Dave Grohl on Nirvana’s “Disastrous” Reading Gig) said Grohl in a later interview. The show was a sensory overload with lights, a random person dancing on the stage, and the stage presence only true performers can accomplish for almost two hours straight. Kurt Cobain is the revolutionary of grunge music because he made grunge music and underground rock more prominent in the music scene, defined a generation with his songwriting alone,

However, grunge music was not appreciated by everyone. Most adults or elders at that time thought it was too loud, or that it was devilish music. Even metal and rock bands disapproved of grunge, including some bands that helped build the genre’s popularity. Grunge bands fought for popularity, which made matters worse. Nirvana’s late frontman, Kurt Cobain, made a cruel statement about Pearl Jam in an interview. He hated the band with a passion. Not because of their popularity, but the style of their

Cobain’s personality fits rather easily into Alfred Adler’s theory of personality, especially in terms of style of life and birth order. Adler believed that “the individual creates the style of life,” rather than being a victim of fate (Schultz & Schultz, 2009, p. 137). He named four styles of life, dominant, getting, avoiding, and
