Good points, rascal67, I'll admit I did like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Come as You Are" when it first came out. It was something different for the rock scene. I do think that Nirvana's legendary status is overblown and propped up by MTV, Rolling Stone and the Media. There was something about Kurt Cobain that didn't sit right with me. He's treated like some larger than life figure.

Get off your high horse, dude: it will get you no respect.
Whatever dude! This is an open chat thread dude, and not a fan site dude. I am not on here looking for others respect and least of all respect for the music of Cobain dude.

Right, but you are aware of the massive fan base nirvana has and their status in music history. If you come on here putting "talent" in quotations when you talk about Cobain, you are going to get retaliation.
But there isn't even an argument here. Who cares about how high he was? I have the albums to listen to until I die and they bring me much joy. There are plenty of non-famous people who use drugs and drink who can gain something from Nirvana's music too.
I didn't read most of what you've posted here, to be honest. It seems like you could be saying the same things about the most famous punk like the Ramones or the Sex Pistols. The Eagles are fine, but some people want to hear music that sounds dangerous. -

Whatever gives you joy, that is what it is all about and what people like is their prerogative. Why others would choose to follow the music of Nirvana, when I feel and know there is much better quality sounds and music around is what bamboozles me. I don't think it takes that much "talent" to produce sounds like Nirvana made and many who want to emulate it, are looking at a quick and easy way to fame and fortune. It is a delusion. Cobain got lucky.
I enjoy many movies that would be considered crap by many; but I also like many that are considered quality and are acclaimed, and yes it is all subjective. I think many don't open up or broaden their horizons and then brush of music that is of higher standard and quality, and all because they don't understand it, or think it is "boring" and generic. Music is the highest of the arts and operates at a transcendental and vibrational level. Angry dangerous music might attract just that, angry and dangerous people.

I'm about as dangerous as a leaf, but I sure love some angry music. You can avoid the types of people you look down upon by not going to metal and punk shows, though I'm sure you may run into ones occasionally elsewhere.
Hey, I like GG Allin so you must think I'm retarded (I have no taste and have not had the privilege to hear real, quality music) and there really isn't any point
talking to you anymore.
I love Son House, Blind Willie Johnson, good country, clever rap, movie scores, etc. etc. etc. Nirvana is but a small part of the musical spectrum. You accuse fans of Nirvana of being scared to discover other music but it sounds like you're the one who is being close minded. -

, I don't think you are retarded, but you are just proving my point with your comments. You are the one who made the comment about boring music. You have all the privilege there is to hear what you want to, but my comments appear to have pushed a button and that is regarding "quality" of taste which does speak volumes, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not.

I don't even understand what we are arguing about. Nirvana's music has always made me happy. Angry music makes me happy. It does not however make me angry and violent. Just as watching 80s slasher movies doesn't make me violent.

Yeah, I can see you're all class. Remove the c & the l and you're on to something. I'm shocked you admitted to being clueless.
Boring and predictable! I knew you would see that opening and snatch onto it. That is why I was humoring you and not shocked at all, that you gave this cheap response.

..building a house, or fixing a car, or building a roadGo sip some tea with your pinky sticking out while laughing at the garbage men and plumbers or some other person that doesn't meet your strict code of high standards.
Do you even know what my occupation is??? You are making vague and asinine assumptions, to make a point. Are you saying, because of these occupations, they would all resort to listening to base and low class negative music? When you ask and find out that many don't like 'Nirvana' and demand more quality, will you then claim, that they think they are 'superior' to you. Most likely, they will be.
Visit the nearest VA hospital and ask those vets if any of them were listening to Nirvana while stationed in Afghanistan. Let the ones who say yes know how tasteless and low-class they are.
Man, I d-e-s-p-i-s-e people like you.
This comment tells me all I need to know about you and where you are coming from. A person, who previously alluded to violent images, like knocking someones teeth out, because you don't agree with what you hear. Is this your mentality and possibly some of your jock mates. You have a militant, hostile and aggressive mind by the sound of it and would willingly resort to violence, as a means of a fix. The legacy Cobain left behind, base music suitable for a 'War 5b4Cry".
You are not to be despised, just pitied!!!
You're the teacher from 'The Wall'.
'Pink Floyd' The Wall'; now here is an album with some clASS. There may be some hope for you yet.
You're beneath me and a waste of my time. And it's not about defending some rock band.
Look at who is the 'superior' one now. I suppose that is the point I have been attempting to make though. Yes, I am 'superior' and I don't even have to work at it, it just comes naturally. 'Nirvana', isn't worth defending, so why waste your time to begin with.
You wouldn't do that to their faces, just with the anonymity of the internet.
Again! How do you know what I would or wouldn't say to their faces? I can likely guess, that you want to smash peoples 'faces' in though, including mine. These imdb threads, are for general discussion and not fan based sites. You can't come here and expect to only hear, how 'great' Cobain was and feed your deluded notions and wounded ego about him.

All these assumptions regarding my violent nature.
You antagonize, unprovoked and anonymously, then characterize me as a hostile aggressor.
You are the one, who made the allusion about smashed teeth and what someone might want to do to the OP, for his opinion, on your very first post. You gave yourself away, with your other example of Soldier Vets. This pretty much tells me which side of the fence, your politics are. Or were you just bluffing, to get some kind of desperate point across?
Who instigated a fight by declaring me a scumbag with no taste? Was it you? Or did you just reinforce what that other idiot, the OP, was saying? Either way, it's not the best strategy for initiating friendly discussion.
Calling the OP a dou@hbag as a counter defense, in retaliation for a generalized comment about scumbags, pretty much renders your 'strategy' redundant. On that note, imagine how useless you would be; if you are, were or intending a career in the armed forces.
lol. I just wanted to read up on Kurt Cobain one day. Turns out, the 'general discussion' involved someone I've never met referring to me as a scumbag.
Aw, life's tough, ain't it? You haven't really said much, to prove otherwise.
Makes me question what your motives were when coming to this board.
I just wanted to read up on Kurt Cobain one day. Turns out, that there are very deluded, sensitive people out there, who only want to hear about how 'great' he was. Woe betide anyone who challenges that mindset. Go to a fan site, if you want to gush.
You're something on the bottom of my shoe that needs to be scraped off.
I'm simply telling Bambi to ignore the compulsion to initiate unprovoked attacks against people out in the big, bad real world. Out where the hunters roam.
More hostile allusions and threats. I have to be careful and fearful, due to the mass hysteria of crazed 'Nirvana' fans, that are still in a state of mourning. Hysterical!
Cuz day b crazee owt her.
Are you trying to be amusing, with the gleam of a devil in your eyes? Sounds like another threat to me. Well at least I know, there is one person with a sanity issue out there. Thanks for the heads up. I trust that others, will steer clear of you too.

I don't remember making these replies to you, but now that you've replied back
It seems pointless to argue about what is boring. Two random people aren't going to agree usually.
I am interested in Cobain as a person, but as far as the music is concerned I don't care. Jerry Lee Lewis is a horrible, racist freak, but the music is awesome. Nirvana is awesome. To me, and not to you.
