I cannot prove this is real, but I have been assured it is.

Kurt Cobain has probably been gone longer than these people have been alive.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My dude, Cobain died in 1994. That's like anyone under 30.

No... No that can't be right. 1994 was like.. shit.

I remember how I heard about his death. I was watching MTV Europe and Ray Cokes was saying a dead person was found in Cobain's house.

And then the next days, news were all about teens who committed suicide (or failed to, ending up as vegetables) in a similar fashion.

That was weird.

Suicide is contagious. It's the reason why schools are recommended against having memorial pages in yearbooks and stuff for students who killed themselves. It encourages more suicides.

Not denying but it sounds surprising to me. I wonder how it works

Yeah I was also really surprised by the contagiousness of suicide. When I first saw the article I linked I thought "how cruel they won't give a student a space in the yearbook, it would help the grieving family so much". Then I read it all and it made sense. I feel horrible for those families but at the same time they likely don't want to be responsible for other families suffering what they have gone through just to have a photo of their child in the yearbook.

I don't remember how I heard about it, but I was in the middle of my "fuck everyone and everything people enjoy" phase of being a teenager, so I was probably happy about it unfortunately.

I was 14 and I remember it quite well. All us teens in the park behind our apartment building had long discussion about it. I also remember all the copy cat suicides that followed his death to.

But yes Nirvana is now classic rock!

MTV Europe has a strange way of saying things

That was just what was known. Cokes had a live show and they just got the news that a dead person had been found in Kurt Cobain's house.

I guess now that I think about it, Conain probably wasn’t too easy to identify.

Kurt Cobain would have utterly hated Chaya Raichik. I don’t know about Kris Noviselic (apparently he’s gotten a bit weird politically) but I’d bet Dave Grohl despises her.

For anyone wondering, Chaya Raichik is the reactionary ghoul who runs Libs of TikTok. I actually had no idea this was a semi-famous person until you actually made a comment about them.

Reactionary ghoul is a very kind way to refer to a hateful terrorist agitator.

There's a million different ways to describe someone like that. I like mine. You like yours.

Kurt Cobain has been dead longer than Kurt Cobain was alive at this point.

Yeah probably. I think she’s about my age and I don’t care to find out. I was born a few months after Cobain died and turn 30 this year
