Nirvana became successful out of Washington around the same time Pearl Jam became Successful. punk rock or rebel rock was really starting to gain popularity and Bands like Nirvana were just the right mix of headbanging and soft rock to jam to.

they gained a lot of popularity with their first studio album, despite the poor reviews it set off a whole grunge movement... or so it has been said.

the reason why Nirvana is so popular today is just as any artist who died at their peak is recognized today. They never lived to see their full potential or their downfall. Nirvana was good but I'm sure they would have fizzled out just as Pearl Jam did. still though I enjoy both albums.

Light my candles in a daze
'Cause I've found god
Hey, hey, hey

I'm so lonely but that's okay I shaved my head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July
I knew a lady who came from Duluth
Bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
And flew away howling on the yellow moon
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July
People cry and people moan
They look for a dry place to call their home
Try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils try to make them their own
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July

I think most fans know of these kinds of instances. I don't as I'm not a real fan, just enjoy the music.

but regardless of Cobain being any bit of an artist, apparently enough people liked his music for the Band to be as popular as it is now.

grunge is Cords.

it really is an insult to pop-Rock if you look at it. 70's Zepplin, Floyd, Black Sabbath, the eagles YES! 80's Iron Maiden, Metallica, guns n roses YES! 90's... Nirvana, smashing pumpkin, blind melon.

although Red hot chili peppers, and sublime seem to put together some decent lyrical rock performances. but it seems like pop rock was in an odd place during the 90's for sure

Nirvana only has fans today because Cobain killed himself, that's all there is to it pretty much. The same happened with Lane Staley (who people didn't give much of a fuck about when he was alive) and Dimebag Darrell (who actually was a really shitty guitarist).
>>
>>2396948
It's kind of self-consciously pseud, at least that's what I thought the idea was. Kinda like how people do things "ironically" now.
>>
>>2397071
Pretty big overstatement. Nirvana was really popular before Kurt died.
>>
>>2397083
Not really, Cobain had some debates about revolutionary feminism with that girl a night before and genuinely thought that sentence was some powerful message, he didn't find out it was a deodorant until after they released the song. If Cobain was alive today he'd be some washed up balding numale posting tumblr captions on his twitter and complaining about Drumpf.

If that was so then all those bands would have been more popular. The fact is they had a certain je ne sais qoui bed and dared them to a whole generation of young people.

Way to be contrarian friendo
>>
>>2397112
Not really man. When they look back on what the music of their generation was it's gonna be Kanye West, Kendrick Lamarr, etc etc. When I was in high school the big thing was emo/screamo/pop-punk. Most of it was horrific garbage but at least it was made with instruments instead of on a computer screen.

>if he was more popular then he was better
No, he just had better marketing and better producers. Their best album (Bleach) isn't even remembered that much unlike the pop trash that is Nevermind. Not even mentioning how they spent their last few years recording nothing but covers because they pretty much ran out of ideas.
>>
>>2397150
No disrespect man just in context I'm talking about the decline of rock. I think there's room for everything but rock isn't trendy anymore so there really isn't any new sound coming out now. It's led to EDM or rap being the thing.
>>
>>2397101

talking about wide spread popularity... not about the origins.

punk started in the late 60's-70's, sure wasn't widely listened to.

wasn't till bands like Green started popping up where people 40-4 listened to them.

now fuck off. I know what I'm saying, notice how no one else argued my point but your dumb ass.

Celebrities are marketed to specific demographics and Kurt Cobain was promoted to appeal to angsty middle-class white kids. The kinds of things Kurt said in his music and interviews foreshadow the talking points of the SJW movement and tptb gave him a platform to lay the foundation for the snowflakes we see today. (((They))) understand that people are easily influenced by celebrities so they give exposure to individuals like Kurt who would otherwise be outcasts.

Punk definitely was widely listened to in the 70s, The Ramones? The Sex Pistols? Sure these are entry level and pleb but they were popular, maybe not Nirvana popular but they were widely listened to.

Kurt Cobain was especially wimpy and it's no coincidence he's known as the "last rock star."

The part about covers is true enough, fucking Man Who Sold The World is not a good cover.

Bowie > Ure > Cobain
>>
>>2397957
>>2398010
Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax continued to be popular in the mainstream for years after Cobain. Conspiracy theories like this are nothing but confirmation bias in action.

Music is a form of art, so the avante-garde sells, which grunge happened to be at the time.

As for Bieber: pretty boy teeny popstars are not new, and are basically as old as there being mass-media.
>>
>>2398565
On that note, actually, conventional rock group AC/DC, released one of their most commercially successful albums, Black Ice, 16 years after Cobain shot himself. The basic value underpinnings of music have remained the same since the the latter half of the twentieth century. Songs are still largely about the basic emotional themes they always were, and musicians a bunch of strung out dipshits.

>>2397985
Because it is. You're talking about influencing culture in a direct and precise fashion, without understanding what the fundamentally accumulative and decentralized nature of culture; a serious government effort to influence it is basically pissing in an ocean of piss.

You see a conspiracy theory because you want to see a conspiracy theory. The basic motives behind conspiracy theory idolization are twofold: the first is that you get to hold yourself above the common populace with no actual merit on your part; you get to be in a special little secret that only a few are in on, and you don't have to spend all that time, effort, and money to be an actual academic, why you can do it from the comfort of your computer chair, and the second is basically religious in its nature; you want to believe that there's an order to the world around, a certain sense of security and comfort that comes from knowing that even if it is an evil conspiracy in charge of everything, that there is at least someone in charge of things rather than a complex web of deterministic factors that couldn't possibly be understood.

Conspiracy theorists are basically more people left aimlessly scrambling following the death of God.

>grunge
>avant-garde
The genre was basically just a fedora tier alt-rock, the Linkin Park of its time. Not to mention by the mid 90s when it really reached peak popularity, it was already spiritually dead and out of ideas.
>>
>>2398610
>I don't know what avante-garde is.

It was pushing the boundaries of musical themes at the time and had a fairly distinctive sound. You may not have liked it, but it was new and it was different.

All those bands were in their legacy phase at that point. Nirvana was new, hip and different so Cobain's stardom was on another level than Greg Hetfield or whoever.

You won't find Anthrax shirts at Forever 21 but you can find Nirvana merch there.

>>2398592
I'm talking about influential people selecting who gets promoted based off factors that will benefit their interests and not off pure talent. Everybody knows people idolize celebrities, it's why Scientology maintains an aggressive presence in the entertainment industry, so do you really believe Scientologists are the only interest group operating in Hollywood? Why is it so ridiculous to believe that mass entertainment is political and like everything else political in the USA people are spending money hand over fist to promote their narrative? Am I nuts for thinking that some of these people genuinely Hate white men and want to emasculate them? Is it so much of a stretch to think that they would use their influence to promote celebrities who exemplify unhealthy traits knowing that because they blast that celebrity's image on millions screens the average pleb will try to imitate them because they seem important? It would be an especially great plan because the idiots would go along with it willingly because they trust the people who control the images they see. It just seems funny to me that of all the Grunge acts out there Nirvana and Kurt got selected to be the poster boy. I wonder how different American society would be different if Forever 21 was selling Pearl Jam tees.

Literally the only line on their most popular song that wasn't him taking the piss out of his fan base/ being a pop star; in other words the only sincere line in "smells like teen spirit" was

"I find it hard... its hard to find
The will... whatever, nevermind."
