Kurt+Cobain

=​Kurt Cobain=

Overview
The music of the 1990s was changing rapidly from classic and hard rock to what we call grunge. Grunge is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American state of Washington, particularly in the Seattle area.The band behind this movement was Nirvana and the leader of that Band was Kurt Cobain. Cobain was born on the 20th of February 1967 in Hoquaim, Seattle. He felt like he was never loved or felt secure after his parents separation. As a young child Cobain was always sick, mainly suffering from bronchitis. His parents were Donald and Wendy Cobain who worked later got divorced which led to Cobain's angry and sad lyrics in his music. He spent most of his life traveling to relatives and even was homeless for a period of time. In Cobain's teens, he became very interested in the British band, The Sex Pistols, and listened to a lot of British rock bands. In high school, Kurt was often made fun of so he moved to Olympia, Seattle. There he created a few bands until the creation of Nirvana in 1986.

Central Issue
In 1986, Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and David Grohl created the band Nirvana as an uneasy alliance. Krist Novoselic was the bass player and David Grohl was a multi-instrument player but mainly played the drums. In 1988 they started to play ion shows and made there first small album in 1989, Bleach, with a small Seattle recording label. Besides locals, not many people listened to Nirvana until they got big in Britain. They eventually joined Geffen records and made there second album Nevermind in 1991. The number one single on there new CD was //Smells like Teen Spirit// and became Nirvana's most popular song. Nevermind went on to sell ten million copies and make a reported $550 million leaving Nirvana overnight millionaires.Nirvana released Incesticide, their third album, in 1993. I//n Utero// was the single on the album and hit the top of the charts. This record had very passionate songs and a lot of apologetic songs. After an MTV Unplugged album, Nirvana stopped making music but never officially broke up.

Conclusion
Many people believed that since Cobain was sickly, reserved, and shy, he wouldn't last long in the rock-n-roll life style. Kurt married Courtney Love and had a child with her, Frances Bean Cobain. Cobain fell into heroin in the early 90's, he said he used it as a shield against the rigorous demands of touring and to stop the pain of stomach ulcers or an irritated bowel. He was also still being plagued by lung and throat problems that caused him pain and skip concerts. Cobain was a gun fanatic and always had several in his possession or in various forms of confiscation. On march 4th, 1994, Cobain was sent to the hospital. He attempted to commit suicide by overdosing on pain pills. After being released from the hospital, he checked into relapse but broke out a few days into it. After finding out that his wife tried committing suicide he became very suicidal. On April 5th, 1994, Curt Cobain took a shot gun and shot himself in the face. He had a suicide note that was addressed to his wife and daughter. It ended with "I love you, I love you." After Cobain's death many of his disgruntled fans also committed suicide. Kurt Donald Cobain was the leader of Nirvana, the multi-platinum grunge band that redefined the sound of the nineties.
