Was Kurt Cobain the last true rock star? Why is rock so shit today?

>>721943258
Cuz the new "rock stars" are not in a fucking deprecion

>>721943258
Eh
Overrated by wannabe young people
Sorry guyz

>>721943971
nirvana is overrated, but that's not what this thread is about.

>>721944114
how is Nirvana overrated?

>>721944114
Fine
He wasn't a rock star
He's a dead old school grudge emotional who was sad. And apparently a really bad shot.

>>721944173
their discography isn't as good as people say. just my opinion.

influence is another story, but music-wise? definitely overrated.

all but, ALL are shit for the multiculturalism and lobbys sionist of jews

>>721944173

I'm not sure how old you are. But from an elder fag who was around when Cobain died. It catapulted Nirvana into overdrive. The best thing I can compare it to for millennial is health ledgers fame as the joker being blown up the same way.

>>721944320
you might not like him or his music, but he was definitely a rock star.

every teenager listened to his music and cared about what he said. not to mention the media constantly talking about him, and his influence on fashion. i couldn't care less about any of that shit, because i don't care for him or his music, but its true.

>>721944379
The RnB dominance of the early nineties is what makes Nirvana shine, and not many bands can release only two albums and be considered "overrated". When someone says something is overrated than I usually take that as a sign that an even larger group of people disagrees with that.

>>721943258
Jim Morrison was the last true rockstar

>>721943258
Kurt was fucking shit.

>>721943258
Sorry but he was a bad singer and bad guitarist. Nothing special

Well.. I'm alive.. I consider myself better than Lennon, Dlyan, Morrison and Cobain combined when it comes to songwriting. I'm just underground and play in clubs locally. All original content. Get tons of pussy. No social media besides /b/, can silence a crowd with a sound from my vessel or instrument. I think Jimmy Page was one of the true rock stars. Took tons of influence in others work and flipped it into his own success while being an icon in pop culture for image, sound and atmosphere in art. Music isn't about being famous or being a rock star. It's about creating work that makes others think and feel something that you want to get out there. Money and status is irrelevant to the true nature of music.

>>721944705
>Jim Morrison was the last true rockstar

that's ridiculous.

hendrix, bowie, mercury, springsteen, and axl all came after morrison. he's one of my favorites, but he definitely wasn't the last.

>>721945272
>bad singer

no he wasn't

>>721943258
go listen qotsa you faggit, and then say rock is dead

Rock music is dead

I like the offspring

>>721945561
they're pretty good, but the lead singer is unknown. nobody knows or cares who he is.

and one band can't keep rock alive, even though i don't think qosta are good enough for that.

rock is dead, sadly.

It's because liberalism has a huge influence on stupid people like your typical musician, so "rock stars" are plagued with shit ideologies that create cookie cutter music. /thread

>>721943258
>Was Kurt Cobain the last true rock star?
Yes, he was. Nirvana and grunge was the last gasp of rock before it went the way of big band music and jazz. That's why there is no rock on the charts anymore, and most kids don't listen to it.

>Why is rock so shit today?
Not sure. Rock has strayed far from it's original beginnings. Maybe it is just played out.

>>721943258
he wasn't a rock star at all.
I guess you're too young to know.

rock stars are people like freddie mercury, bowie, neil young, john lennon.

There is no way to answer this question.
In order to accurately answer, i would have to be able to see into the entirety of the future, and also avoid my own biases.

Rock died in the late 90s, and Metal moved to northern Europe.

>>721945627
What about foo-fighters, rise against, red hot chilli Poppers?

Everyone has their own opinion and taste. Nirvana is simple stuff and there were more complex and better bands during that era. Yet nirvana had a certain drive and charisma that did what those other bands didn't do. Basically change music and make musical history during the 90's which is a crazy thing to think about. A bunch of immature punk ass kids

Holy fuck /b/ stop talking about music like you think you know shit, all of you are just circle jerking different shades of radio hit brand name trash tier music. Try getting into literally anything else and expand your shit 'variety', jazz, country, rap, metal, indie, house, dance, prog, psych, ambient, avant garde, post-hardcore, punk, emo, lo-fi, fucking ANYTHING

Or by sissyfication you may be talking more about lack of aggression? I see plenty of that in music today

The only good sound kurt cobain ever made was the shotguns

has anyone else had interest in classic music like jazz and blues? rock is dead to me. nothing like some Sinatra or Louise Armstrong to keep me entertained.

how's jazz bad? It's better than what's on the radio now. rock is dead to me. music is supposed to convey emotion not convey cookie cutter techniques and money cash grabbing. there's no soul In music these days.

Depends what you mean by "true rockstar." You mean fame wise?

Jack White is probably as famous as Kurt Cobain ever was when he was alive. His suicide is what made him a "legend" after. I was younger at the time but I don't remember Nirvana being any more popular than Green Day or Offspring at the time.

>>721947294

>>721947365
jack white is nowhere near kurt was, even when he was alive. like, not in the same stratosphere.

>>721947615
From what I remember Guns n' Roses was way bigger than Nirvana in the early nineties. Nirvana was kind of just known as "that band that does Smells Like Teen Spirit."

It was more after he died that more people actually listened to the albums.

>>721947737
Fuck Yeah I love Mingus. Cannonball adderley or sonny too?

>Why is rock so shit today?

A multitude of reasons. But they pretty much all started around the time no-talent hacks like Cobain were worshipped as gods. No one seemed to figure out that just cause Curt Cobain deaded hisself, that didn't negate the scientific fact that he still sucks.

Kurt is just a martyr. He had a damn good ear for a catchy melody and his abstract artistry makes him very attractive to people. Also, he's fucking dead. That said, Jack White is a hell of a lot more talented, any not to mention smarter. Didn't Kurt paint tho? He was just an artist first, Musician second

I'm a musician too, published recording artist. I've been played on BBC, NPR, CBC and all kinds of other FM all around the world, all without plugging it or trying to convince people of anything. If you type my name into Google, about the first 40 sites will be concerning me and my music. And not once have I ever boasted or talked it up like you, or somebody like Kayne West does. The industry is full of you little faggots. You have zero talent, I garuntee it. Otherwise you wouldn't be bragging about it. You're not a musician, you're a persona that you've created. I wouldn't even listen to your shit if you paid me, it would be horrible anyway. Enjoy your pussy, faggot.

>>721948794
Different anon here, but no, you're very wrong. First, most people under 30 don't have a fucking clue of who they're listening to at any given moment. They may have heard of The White Stripes, but nobody gives a flying fuck about Jack White himself.

Furthermore, Jack White should never be considered a 'rock star', much less a 'true rock star'. Name ONE rock star that has his wife/ex-wife/complicated girlfriend/sister backing him up on drums. You can't. Because rock stars don't do that. Pussy-whipped fagboys do that.

Its not about the sexual preference of the rock star, its about dragging their personal entanglements on stage, regardless of talent (or lack thereof). If I wanted to start a band, my girlfriend would probably insist on being a part of it, despite the fact that she's absolutely tone-deaf and has never touched an instrument except to move my guitar for better access to my penis. A 'rock star' would shut that clingy shit down and tell the bitch to take a hike.

I take care of my own promo. I write letters mostly. People underestimate the power of a handwritten letter to somebody of influence in the industry. It's not a business/money making machine. I couldn't give two shits about money, I have enough of it. I just want the right people to be able to get even a fraction out of my art than what I've put into it. It's my purpose for being here, to make the world better than when I entered it. The last few years I'm off to a good start. Money is gone when you're dead, your legacy is what lives on.

>>721949280
Sorry, I should have mentioned, I have a label. But having a label hasn't made me much money really. But they have given me an online presence I would have otherwise not had. They've done the most important thing: helped spread my music to the right audience.

I think it's because rock is becoming irrelevant as a music group. It's split off into many distinctive styles. People don't use the term anymore, it seems, unless they're talking about washed-up radio shit. So maybe Cobain was the last true rock star (though, spoiler alert: Maynard still exists). Still, that doesn't mean there weren't stars didn't come after him; they just weren't associated with "rock" which has become almost an irrelevant term.

>>721943258
Steve Harwell was the last great rockstar.

He knew how to get the show on and get paid

>>721943258
Jason Burton of "Not a Part of It"

The last time rock music was really relevant among youth was the early 2000s with the pop punk craze. Blink 182, Good Charlotte, Sum 41, Green Day, all that shit. It was everywhere in movies and TV. American Idiot was the last major rock album.

>>721950401
it's all mumford and sons fault. it was their music that killed rock. every band needed to say hey and clap and go indie and go folk. every band needed to be folk to be cool afterward.

>>721943258

No, Cobain wasn't the last true "Rock Star". He was a talented but ultimately mid-level talent who couldn't cope with his own limitations and blew his brains out because he knew that eventually the fact that he was barely a step up above the Everclears and Nicklebacks of the world was going to be uncovered.

The guy doesn't kill himself and you would have seen the same things play out. The form (Rock) was in its last stages before fracturing into a bunch of different kinds of music. He just had the most timely suicide. All through the history of rock people have died and vaulted their legacies into being immortal talents. Buddy Holly wasn't going to go on to greater things in the 60's. He'd have been plowed under by the British Invasion just like everyone else. Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix, and Jim Morrison all died young but odds are the all or most of them had done their best work already and the rest of it was going to be a long series of pretentious bullshit music that never recaptured that. In a lot of ways they owed their long-term fame to their deaths and not necessarily to their talent.

I said the guy was a piece of shit for calling himself a musical God. I stand by that. My point is that it's still possible to have success while still being humble. Let your music do the work for you if it's that good. If your ego is what's getting that guy into clubs and pussy, he's not really a musician is he. He's a con artist.

>>721943258
Is rock really shit though? Or have you been conditioned by a music industry intent on pushing as much teeny pop crap because they can have a team of people write shitty manufactured songs and interchange the singer when they aren't 'cool' anymore.

Rock bands take a couple of years to make a decent record, and your shothead Biebers and Kanyes can pump out 2-3 records in that time.

Because more and more people are starting to autotune themselves

Pfft, 'the last true rockstar'.
Such a limited scope of musical knowledge, my friend
Listen to Myles Kennedy, Mark Tremonti, John Frusciante, Zakk Wylde, Frank Carter and Ghost.

This thread is chalk full of people who don't have a fucking clue about anything but feel the need to tell everyone their opinion anyway. I guess that's what the entire board is now.

Rock and Roll, as it was, is dead. Rock and Roll, in general, has died. It'll come back, and one may argue it's returning. I wouldn't know. I listen to indie bands and weird alt rock. Rock and Roll will never return, Kurt Cobain was the last slayer of pussy, drug abusing, and incredibly influential rocker to live. Rock and Roll is dead, but the spirit is not. I believe that the indie scene will be the, albeit small, revival of Rock, but that's just my stupid opinion with my shitty taste in music.

>Rock isn't shit, mainstream rock is shit. The difference is mainstream rock had some gems that came to the spotlight in the 90s but that will never happen because it's no longer the most profitable/ popular genre. It's like how with hip hop today there is a lot of trash but there are still people like Kendrick Lamar spearheading quality. Rock no longer has the voice to show its "good" artists, but that doesn't mean they're not there.

>>721943258
>Why is rock so shit today?
Because the only rock you listen to is mainstream rock. Kurt Cobain becoming mainstream was a fluke, good rock is rarely liked by enough people to go mainstream. Recording companies throw everything they can out there to see what sticks. Usually, the catchiest tune sticks and it doesn't have to be good to be catchy.

>>721953626
Wrong. Record companies haven't done that since the 70's.
Record companies have teams who decide what the people will like, and they spend millions pushing that product. They stopped asking what the people liked a long time ago when they realized they could tell them instead.

>>721953815
Obviously there are exceptions though, like Nirvana. You very rarely see that in the past 30 years though.

>>721943258

not even joking, he's a pretentious fuck, and my reasoning for saying that simply lies in the song "In Bloom". are you fucking joking kurt? you write a god damn song about how "oh, no one can understand these deep words i sing. no one TRULY knows what i'm saying". shut the fuck up, you piece of shit. your songs aren't even complex or that metaphoric. and that's your writing of lyrics. how about your fucking guitar playing? nothing you do is complex, and don't give me that bullshit "complexity comes from the genius simplicity of it all", because that's garbage. he's a terrible guitarist who writes power chord riffs that any fucking middle schooler can write just from playing around, except this guy actually turned those into songs. he thought he was such a big deal, like, he's a huge fucking star, when in reality he was nothing but a punk. you know, half the time, people would pay to see him and he wouldn't even come out on stage? are you fucking joking? wow man, let the world lick your fucking feet. please let us carry you everywhere, Mr. Cobain, anything to keep you safe in your cozy little world. fuck off, Kurt Cobain.

>>721944705

Morrison was nothing more than the Bieber of his time. Was he a better writer? Sure. However Morrison used to get so drunk people wouldn't stop to help because that was his thing. He was always fucking up.

>>721954962

So drunk that he would pass out in the streets*

>>721954919
Kurt would agree with you. You hate the image his fans have of him. He was the most reluctant rock star ever. He even made fun of his fans and how they mimicked him and Seattle residents/ bands.

>>721943258

Simple answer is YES.

>>721955072

Cobain got EXACTLY what he wanted and couldn't handle it.

>>721954919
Oooh somebody's salty!
You should have been there /b/ro. It was like what I imagine Beatlemania must have been like, or when Elvis first appeared.
Plus the music is good. Solid aggression, witty ADHD fueled lyrics that spoke to millions and millions. Don't be so butthurt, other people are allowed to like something you don't. And btw I think you should go back and read the lyrics for In Bloom, I'm not sure why you focused on that one in particular, they don't really mean anything in particular.

I've long thought that nobody may voice an opinion of his life, music or death unless they were actually listening to his stuff when he was alive.

YouTube the song "sappy" the guitar solo is a little more than halfway through the song. That solo was pretty good for a Kurt. Also the solo in "blew"

I'm just here to mention the Melvins

since you're obviously all fuckin kids who don't know anything about the kind of music Nirfagna were trying to tap into

Josh Homme was pre Cobaine, and if "nicotine valum vikodin marijuana ecstasy and alcohol; c-c-c-cocaine" isn't rock in roll as fuck, you need to graduate the 7th grade. Fucks sake, mars volta broke up via twitter. These fuck faces made frances the mute, and a couple years later made that one shit album after octohedron, followed by a public break up on social media. Rock and roll died cause every spoiled mother fucker thought they could form a band and shove it down our throats. Same way every mother fucker thought they were a dj a couple years ago.

"Rock star"

implying nirvana played rock, and not some dregs called grunge worthy only of deranged fags high on bath salts.

He killed himself 10 years too late. Should have spared the world the abomination of his "music."

>>721946398
That's bullshit. Sonic youth was doing it in the 70s

>>721956247
He could play, listen to the Bleach album from 89 and the Fecal Matter band from like 1985. He thought guitar solos were stupid so he started to make noise instead. Did you know Billy Corgan did the same thing, and is more of a shredder than likely anybody from that era?

>>721956511
And the pixies. Nirvana weren't the great innovators the media portrays them as, just charismatic

>>721946562
Red hot chili peppers started the funk punk genre. You're retarded

>>721944173
Idiots understanding of overrated

Things can still be good and be overrated.

>>721956547
And that's why aside from a few bands rock was horrible in the 90s. He couldn't play though it was just barrred cord trash. Band like soundgarden, faith no more, rhcp were way better. They were talented

>>721943258
Knowing Kurt's taste in music Ive always wondered if he'd ever listened to spacemen 3 or any of those "shoe gaze " bands. Pretty much up his alley. Like if he were around now what music would he listen to, currently. Anon posted the cosmonauts which is a pretty good assessment. In a way burger records has Kurt's finger prints all over it. He was the original hipster

>>721948849
But hes kind of right. You are all jerking each other about your taste in music.

>>721956783
But they lacked that cosmic depth Kurt put forth in his art

>>721956886
I heard he liked alanis morrisette,fiona apple and P.J. Harvey lol girl power

is it weird that I always correlated Kurt's persona to Eric draven from the crow lol....yeah I don't get it either maybe it's just an early 90s thing. Like how every pre teen was John Connor in 92

Listened the shit out of nirvana in my teens, now it doesnät even reach my radar, too depressing, i guess nirvana paved the way for emo bands ect.

>>721943258
Nah, Brad Nowell was in my mind. He was even in the unique position to have become a superstar after his death, which definitely adds to the mystique.

liam gallagher is the last great rockstar.

>>721957432
this

kodak black is the modern cobain and mumble rap is the new grunge

At least rock lasted a lot longer than rap
Rock lasted from 60's-90's
Rap died around 2004-2005

>>721955748
Yeah but after 1996 Layne was basically in seclusion for 6 years

>>721958234
not too far from the truth. Nirvana and other acts of the time achieved fame through their rough and ready take on rock music. nowadays you get kids pirating copies of FL Studio, making stripped back beats and preset synths, uploading to Soundcloud and forming their own aesthetic to be copied ad nauseum

>>721943258
He wasn't, Nirvana was shit. People only acted like they were good because he blew his brains out, just like prince, bowie, and MJ. Though you're right, music now is total shit too.

>>721958585
pretty sure nirvana were hitting mainstream charts way before kurt cobain killed himself...

Fuck you hipster fuck with your waxed fucking twat tash and that fucking shit eating fair trade coffee drinking cocksucking tramp rimming face

Their music may have been overrated, but their story was absolutely inspirational in every way possible.

>>721958585
Nivarana shit
Just a group of groundbreaking young men who shaped a generation in the 90's
Go on say basic gitarist chords and riffs hu it's too simple

>>721958698
Cobains song was so shitty he commited suicide. Nuff said.

I love Nirvana, they have really catchy melody and hooks but very raw and rough sound

I like
Mexican Seafood
Negative Creep
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Come As You Are
In Bloom
Lithium
Lounge Act
Dumb
All Apologies
Pennyroyal Tea
Incesticide
Nirvana Unplugged

Nevermind is their weakest album besides the singles

Soundgarden is better

Also an elderfag, also around when he died... actually lived in Aberdeen pretty close when they formed. It did not catapult them into overdrive. They were already huge. Nevermind was everywhere in the early 90s, and In Utero was fucking mainstream. The fact that they were effectively sold out, had five no. 1 songs on the charts, and that the studios had convinced them to do this were major reasons Cobain killed himself. Nirvana would have burned out within a few years if he hadn't. All his death did was convince the music industry, critics, and future generations that Nirvana was one of the best bands out of the Alternative movement. Which is true. But people now don't recognize that they really did sell out.

>>721958974
Wow you know you must be over 18 to use /b/ right
Everone knows that Dave ghroll killed him for the unpublished songs
>hero (curt )
>learn to fly (curt)

>>721959727
They sold out but then they came back with In Utero which might be their best album

>>721960084
I think they were all good, in their way, but In Utero was post sellout. And it was distinctly more produced, and fit mainstream tastes at the time. My (subjectively) favorite album is Unplugged in New York. It did a lot the other more produced albums could not, while covering their generally better late music.

I can only speak from my own personal experience being at high school when Nirvana were big. The problem was that only the rich kids liked Nirvana - bought the albums, wore the clothes, owned the merchandise, and talked to each other in Kurt Cobain quotes. Poor kids, like me, passed around Weezer and Green Day cassettes. I found myself wondering if that was what Cobain really wanted. To write music that somehow taps into the repressed psyche of the white American upper middle class.

I knew it was bad when I was babysitting for a wealthy couple I knew, and amongst their Phil Collins and Enya albums, they had a copy of Nevermind.

>>721945745

>Josh Homme is an unknown

You need to learn to use the fucking internet to find music or you'll keep saying stupid shit like that you
double
nigger

>>721947888
Axl Rose viewed Nirvana and the Seattle scene as a threat to his dominance, I would say Nevermind was more popular than Lose your illusion that released at the same time, Metallica became mainstream with their album too

Kurt cobain was a junkie. Plain and simple.

>>721943258
Nirvana is extremely overrated and the only people who like him are edgy teens that heard only 1 of his songs
