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

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.
