LUCAS:

*He would've hated social media*

DIO The Invader:

It's not fair that my parents have this Legend and I got Bieber and Cardi B.

(edit: Oh didn't expect this to get 2K likes)

K.O.L. King Of Losers Music Reviewer:

I respect this man without question. Even at the height of his success, he still wanted to live like he was broke

justsilky:

He was 27 when he died, so if he were alive today he would be 53. Jesus Christ...

John Rotten:

Mom: Kurt you are worthless and I hated taking care of you since you were 10.
Kurt: Hey mom I'm in the biggest band in the world and have 20 million dollars.
Mom: Kurt remember how much I loved you and treated you the best???

Belmin Cikotic:

I’m a simple man, i see Kurt Cobain i press like

Temporary Bakery:

Kurt was adorable, even as an adult

TinnysMan:

*Talks about super depressing and serious topic

Nick Dask:

He was a sensitive young man,he owned everything and nothing in the same time.He was alone....

F Moraiti:

Courtney Love was the worst thing that happened to him...

Angel Keziah:

Two legends lost in the 90's; Kurt Cobain and Freddie Mercury. So sad.
Edit: Thank you for mentioning other great artist we lost in the 90s. It's just that I could not mention them all

Camila Carrillo:

his death hits me the hardest out of any other celebrity, I wish he was still here with us

Glamrock Freddy:

R.I.P. Kurt Cobain
(February 20, 1967 – April 5, 1994)
He left us too soon.

Devin Luoto:

His unplugged guitar just set 5 new world records. Most expensive guitar ever sold, and most expensive piece of music memorabilia ever!!! 6 million bucks!! Fricken A man

Ashish Sawant:

He was an enigmatic soul trapped in a tired , sick body.

Alex Mercer:

He never should have been prescribed the meds for being “overactive”

Erika’s Mess:

*Kurt was so fuckin pure.*

That’s why he’s still impacting people today, even the younger generations. It’s almost impossible not to gravitate and feel close to him because he just feels so relatable.

orangegreen:

i would feel the worst pain in the world to bring him back

I Like Turtles:

This man was an absolute legend, so bad what happened

funhere1:

His death was tragic, his life was interesting.

Millennial Lane Toys:

I have lived in Seattle my entire life; Kurt is a legend here. We absolutely love him.

Adam A:

This man is the reason for why I ever wanted a guitar and wanted to play music

keviv 96:

"It's better to burn out than to fade away"

Pappa Molly:

I think Kurt just wanted to be loved and people loved him but it’s not the love he wanted. He fell in love with Courtney but I think she took advantage of him and it drove him over the edge

Chris Casanova:

The first song I taught myself on guitar 18 year's ago was," Come As You Are".

Jamal Vargas:

Poor Kurt cobain his passing hurts out of all artist and don't get me wrong I miss tupac bigge Michael Jackson prince and Chester bennington but he was the 1990s

John Gurnhill:

Kurt cobain hated smells like teen spirit

Tony Carney:

RIP Kurt your a legend. So sad your parents were trash bro

Donald Lusk:

Kurt was a genius at writing melodies whether he knew it or not.

Mr Hamilton:

This makes me love Kurt more, my god was he flawed, almost bitter at having to be famous for us all during his life, as real as they get - Look at artists now, desperate for attention.

Rebecca - WatchMojo:

An interesting "what if" scenario to discuss: what if Kurt Cobain had lived? Would Nirvana still be together? Would we have ever have gotten the Foo Fighters? Lots of fascinating followup questions...

Al Rz:

He was a genius. RIP

Sylvia-Novella Underwood:

RIP Cobain

Such a beautiful man and a wonderful artist

Henry Peralta:

He's such a huge inspiration!
My favorite song is "Dumb".

Melissa Rivera:

I have depression, bipolar depression, ADD like he had and hell I relate so much. Poor angel. His music means a lot to me. I fucking miss him

I think I’m in love with him, he was very handsome.

Mr.Knight The Detective:

YES I'm a modern Nirvana fan and this is what I need. Kurt was such a legend. My favorite Nirvana song is Breed btw.

senait h:

Typical 90s Songs :
1. I will always love you
2. Smells like teen spirit 😂

costco freezer:

breaks my heart that he’s not here and i will never get to meet him. he was such an amazing person that this world will never get again.

Mike B:

Even when he was little he had that green cardigan

Stewie:

how can you miss someone that you never met? That’s what I’m feeling rn

Miral Calugcugan:

I didn't know him till I see him defend a fan being sexually harassed in the middle of his show. King moment 👑

TheKidwitguts:

i miss this man and wasn’t even alive when he was..

Zachary Johnson:

A legend. It’s as simple as that

J rsx:

Dude is a legend. It’s 2021 and we still listen to his music.

Doobex:

RIP a legend like no other 🙌🏻

Chayton Ussery:

Some people say he lived a life of sadness, some say happiness, but me, I see him as an musician that created music that is amazing still to this day. He was a legend that lived life how he felt would make him happy in his dark times, but never stopped making music.

KnitGuyy:

Kurt was an absolute legend and icon. My favorite songs are something in the way and lithium. I always have felt a strong affinity to Kurt because I had alot of the same troubles he did going thru high school. Much love Kurt. You will never be gone

Shaine White:

It's such a shame that he died and I was shocked to hear how he died.

Erick Staver:

One of the greatest musicians ever

Loy:

RIP a legend. We miss you!!!!!!

Upon WAVs:

Kurt Cobain is such an interesting person to watch interviews on and research. It’s him and Heath Ledger that I can sit down and research all day. I bet, they would’ve been best friends actually.. Heath tends to focus on the darker parts of life too.. Very special and amazing individuals.

Fitness Knight27:

I was 11 when I first heard Nirvana. Band has helped me cope with depression and past trauma from abuse. Absolutely love Kurt Cobain. Not only an amazing musician but just an overall amazing person. Definitely tragic how his life ended. And as clitche as this may sound, his legacy lives on. Helping millions with his music.

Jack Pfister:

Our little group has always been and always will until the end ✌️

ALVIN RODGERS:

I was born on 2/20/67. I didn’t realize we had the same birthday until about 15 years ago. Kurt missed so much. 54 years isn’t enough and 27 is tragic.

NO CONSENT Productions:

He’s so damn beautiful!

Matt:

So no one was concerned when he wrote a song called "I Hate Myself and Want to Die"?

Brian Perrine:

I remember the day they found him dead. It was the last day of spring break and I turned on the TV to see Kurt Loder talking about it. Then after a few months Hole played at Lalapalooza and the crowd threw shell casings on stage to signify her being the one who killed him. Nirvana got me through a LOT of tough times during high school as did other bands, but Kurt will always be my generations Elvis, the one who made their mark and left too soon 😢

Kayleigh L:

I wanna hug him and help him through his hurt

Shaine White:

I grew up listening to his music, I was 10 and whenever I was on my way to school every morning, I often heard "Smells like teen spirit" on the my dad's radio.

Midnight Harmony:

It's officially been 27 years since he passed away.

RIP Kurt Cobain.

GodsPerfectFailures:

We've accepted that Carole killed her husband, what about Courtney Love?

Mr Hamilton:

I was born after they formed, I still get lost in his music, smoke some bud, its magical.

HairMetalLugia:

The guy was a wonderful person but all be it tragity. In my mind because of his caring nature he didn't like to fight so when the devorice happened he didn't know how to feel or act causing him to become the he did

Anth0160:

There's something about Kurt that just puts me to ease, such a nice and peaceful individual.

Sandra Hawes:

He seemed mad at the world his wife tried to help him even sang faith song's for him

picknbeansmamma:

I was (& still am) obsessed with Kurt..to the point that my 8th grade English teacher told my mom it was unhealthy. I was instantly drawn to him...I connected with him, I felt, on a very personal level. I was crushed when I heard about his death...& still am. My 1st born was born late & just so happens, on Kurt's death date. "If you ever need anything please don't hesitate
to ask someone else first", *Even In His Youth, All Apologies, Pennyroyal Tea, Sappy, Downer, Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle, Floyd The Barber, Negative Creep, Curmudgeon, Lithium, Drain You, On A Plain, Blew, Sifting, Paper Cuts* (Basically the entire Bleach album) I mean, sorry not sorry, I seriously could go on & on & on! "Shameful as it seems.. can we show our faces now?"

Kohl:

All he needed was love and care from someone but he never could get it so that's why he decided to take it by own an it killed him...

꧁Mike Sully꧂:

He was let down by society, by friends trying to do the right thing ending up doing the wrong thing, being in a band/career he was losing interest in, etc.
Plus the gear he was on flattens you as a person. He had experienced the opiate high and everything else becomes uninsteresting. But after you get dependent on the garbage even the gear ends up being something you use just to stop being sick.

Debby:

❤Kurt❤ he went through so much. Couch surfing as a child that's not right. He deserved better he was a innocent child and a lot of damage was done. No wonder he self medicated. RIP KURT ❤ Prayers

Anna Guggenberger:

I'm so fucking sad that he had to die, every time I watch a video or film about him, I have to cry.

Sterny:

Kurt was a idol of mine growing up, one of the best if not the best grunge band of all time. There wave changed the game of music
forever RIP kurt

KeyserSoze26B:

“Unfortunately he was labeled hyperactive as a kid and prescribed sedatives...he had a lot of energy....”

Um so you mean he was just an average normal happy kid.....that didnt need to be prescribed sedatives at all.....

Diogo Almeida:

Yes, Kurt at some points of his life was severely depressed but don't take his work and life all as sad things. Later (when nirvana started) he was a really funny guy who loved to be with his friends. He was actually known to be such a caring and loving person with a huge sense of humor. Check funny videos of them.

Jabbar Muhammad:

He's one of my favorite musicians

Julian Sanchez Thornicroft:

Hes one of the greatest rockstars ever and this world will never ever be the same. Rip Kurt Cobain

Dhruv Rankawat:

i wish he had found some woman who would have cared for him and tried to make a happy healthy person out of him,

Undefeateddawg TV:

One word, Legend!

shital sapkota:

Lia Crenshaw:

I was born in 98, yet when I watch the news talk about his death my eyes get a little testy. I love him so much.

ChanaRules:

I can't understand how his step-mother dared to say something about him when he said that she was one of the evilest women he had met.

Hailan Johnson:

he seemed like such a gorgeous person

RobertIDK_ BOOP TROOP:

Rest In Peace Kurt. You are missed 😔

Jamie Justice:

When the reporter asked about the you can't buy happiness, Kurt's reply sounded like he was an evil person from those superhero movies lol

Hello Hello:

If he was still alive he would have made 2020 better with his amazing music

b0redom:

Kurt has died for our sins and has become a grunge god!

Dean Predium:

kaiyane:

Amira Foad:

Seeing the same mischievous smile on his face as a child is so heartwarming.

ALVIN RODGERS:

February 20, 1967. That’s my birthday too. February 20, 2021 is our 54th birthday 27 x 2. Kurt missed so much. RIP.

The dancing Guardian:

If all this did not happen nirvana would not have been here but he also would not have died:(
