Interesting interpretations, guys. What about this one?

>>68782146
>It looks like a baby is about to drown underwater for money to me

As in, people will sacrifice their dignity and self worth for the almighty dollar? Or like, literally it's a baby going "I'll drown myself for a dollar guise lmao".

>>68782182
Did Kany ever comment (heh)? I assume it's in reference to the death of the cd.

>>68782220
1 = what album cover symbolizes
2 = album cover at face value

maybe 1, maybe 2, maybe both, or maybe neither

>>68782078
it was a prediction
the kid is a millennial and all this generation does is chase money and 'nevermind' anything productive. just drowning and floating through life, chasing attention and money

>>68782078
it means kurt cobain was secretly a pedo
>>68782182
there's no meaning, it's a fucking cd

>>68782078
youth worship drives our whole culture. they sell us shit because we revere childhood, and basically everyone is conditioned to act like children. there's grown ass people right now watching superhero cartoons. every parent wants to take their kid to disney world.

>>68782182
digital piracy, also personal arrogance, same as led zeppelin 4, my music so good you dont gotta put my name on it and people will buy it

>>68782078
All of Nirvana's main album covers are shit. Bleach is passable at best, but the others suck.

>>68782789

You really think >>68782078 and (pic related) are good albums covers? I mean, at this point they are iconic, but I just think they look corny and unappealing.

>>68782916
Mostly good. Incesticides is pretty ok. The others are just live albums with pictures of the band, where you can't really go wrong with that.

>>68782935
I don't think Nevermind's cover was that appealing but In Utero I think is pretty cool, maybe the background is kind of bland but that's not the focus.

From when people are a baby they spend their whole life chasing money.

>>68783298
I wonder if he wrote the album name on there himself or if Stefan did ;)

Kurt cobain is a faggot with a small dick

>>68783327
That'd be a weird angle to do it yourself

This has to mean something. Efrim doesn't seem like the the type of guy to just go "yeah we should just put some hands on a brown background and have that as the album cover"

Look up the inner artwork for the album.

Um... thats not what Millenials are known for, breh. You won't chase the money, you just watch porn and play video games. If you chased money you'd be contributing to society and the news wouldn't be shitting on ya

>>68782182
I think its about the physical release and album sales being irrelevant because the music will still make a huge impact

new Pinegrove is about christianity's connection to saturn worship

>>68782078
It's about suicide.

Kurt saw how life was like, and said "Nevermind"

>>68782182

Genitals are humanizing. Its when you look away is when you give more power to them.

Sacrifice, so you can feel how others have felt.

>>68784308
lift your skinny fists = skinny fists being lifted on the album cover

like antennas to heaven = radio frequency around the hands in the artwork

theres your explanation

minimalism. Kanye used minimalistic beats and lyrics on the album, so he used literally just a cd and a case as the album cover. also >>68785640

>>68782182
It's yet another critique of capitalism. We take art, reproduce it digitally, wrap it up in attention-grabbing colors (hence the red sticker), and sell it for a profit even though we didn't make it ourselves.

what does this mean?

>>68784245
David is in a straight jacket, and the album is titled "The Sickness", with a medical admittance card in the lower left corner. The meaning isn't really at all deep, it's just showing that he's crazy.

I'm pretty sure that there is no meaning to this
