Why do grunge artists kill themselves?

Because no-one who was happy would make music like that

>>72851714
they feel guilty for shitting up the collective unconscious. grunge is rap music tier

Even DSBMfags don't kill themselves this much desu.

>>72851764
can you spell "crap" without "grunge"? not even memeing

They slowly realize the 90s ended.

Layne Stanley didnt kill himself

>>72851714
Drugs

because they had all that inner turmoil and shit
probably depression
drug and alcohol abuse
their heyday is long gone
they are getting old too

i can understand why a little bit

He died of heroin usage and literally becoming a heroin NEET you're also a stupid fucking goy

>>72851714
Seeing their grunge fans makes them want to kill themselves

Grunge is basically a death cult. A lot of great music but it's an aesthetic and ideological dead end and there's a reason we've never had a proper grunge revival.

>>72852127
You think Hitler wasn't liberal?

>>72851714

>>72852463
Rumours that Kurt was a lil dismissive when Dave wanted to do his own thing, kept his solo stuff a secret

Chris Cornell always seemed like the most level headed guy of that era in interviews like he never struggled with drugs or mental issues.

>>72852707
That's not true Kurt was actually very supportive of Dave's playing and used the riff Dave came up with on scentless apprentice

>>72853020
He called the riff basic generic 'grunge riff' it was only after he made it his own that he liked it

>>72852112
it says that he was 23. I have a friend who went through a kurt cobain phase when he was a senior in highschool. cringiest shit ever

and the tickets were sniped by scalpers in 1 second when they went up

>>72854492
what are you implying

>>72854436
maybe the pressure finally got to him, he felt that he wasn't good enough to do all those shows, probably had some form of relapse (he does look intoxicated in some of the pics) and did it on a whim. People sometimes have very sudden lapses into extreme depression. Maybe he was bipolar. I really, really don't want it to be true, but I can see how it could be...

Goddamn it Chris, who will keep the 90s alive now??

>>72854669
It's time to move on anon. the 90 are long gone.

>>72854669
he wasnt a junky mess like weiland. he had a family, and a strong career. he was a 52 yo very successful artist, suicide just doesnt fit.

>>72854625
that to suggest he was depressed over his failures as an artist is a retarded position to take
not that anyone seems to be taking that position anyway

>>72854822
but every faggot is buying the suicide thing because he was "le grunge tortured druggie".

Layne went out like a fucking man, watch your fucking mouth. Didn't intentionally act like a faggot.

You are a moron. I wish you were dead instead of Chris.

>>72854888
to be honest I can't fucking understand how he could do this
the motherfucker lived through everyone else around him dying of OD or suicide
he wrote the songs on TotD as a result of the death of andrew wood

I just don't understand this

serious question, but how do you actually hang yourself with a belt?? what do you attach the other end to?

>>72855013
Of the big four, I thought he was safest. Turns out Eddie is the most stable and mellow of them all, he got all that spite out early. I knew Chris died a little when he went pure corporate hotel lounge jazz mode but I never knew he was this unhappy.

>>72851833
he was so feminine in his life but then admitted he had a very hard time dealing with women and relationships in life growing up

he was a pussy whipped cuck for sure

Staley died the the most painful death.

Was early-mid 90s alt-rock the most authentic musical movement of all time?

Kurt blew his brains out
Layne died like a worthless junkie
Weiland died a junkie too
Cornell offed himself
Corgan's continued display of mental imbalance

By law of elimination I think we can finally confirm that Eddie Vedder was and is a phony.

grunge is not music, grunge was a scene you retard

>>72857096
it was more than a "scene".....it was a away of life

>>72857203
no it wasn't

if black sabbath is considered metal, then so is soundgarden and alice in chains

>>72853149
there are 3 phases of being a Nirvana fan:

>youth and thinking it's the greatest thing in the world, and nothing could ever top it
>late adolescence where you've heard the stuff that inspired it and think Kurt was a hack
>Adulthood, where you realize Kurt embodied an unspoken cultural breaking point and had the perfect musical palate to personify and exemplify displeasure with the status quo

>>72851833
everyone is aware that Kurt was not the brightest individual when it comes to things that are not music, I mean shit he was homeless at 16 and his parents are white trash

>>72851714
Sublime wasn't grunge but a famous 90s artist who killed himself

>>72851833
I call bullshit. When he was 23 it was 1991 or so, there is no way all those buzzwords were going around back then. Tell me what page number these are from his journals and I'll go check to confirm., but again, bullshit.

>>72854436
You're giving dindus way too much credit anon.

>>72851833
I always thought Nirvana was the music of those people he blamed in those papers. I never felt like I acould be taken seriously if I said I listened to Nirvana, like I would not be considered a "real fan" if I ever said that to someone. My impression was that the real cool kids listened to them. I can totally relate to those scripts.

Everyone who replied before me wouldn't know rock'n'roll if it slapped them in the face.

>>72857979
>Actually hair bands tended to use complex guitar rips
>people still believe this

Nah he was a semi-front man, and the main brain behind AIC I would count him as a grunge icon

>>72856752
Hillel Slovak too

>>72856752
I tried having a discussion with my friend the other night about how the best music comes from trouble individuals.

He told me I was an idiot and started naming some normie tier shit and even brought up one of the jonas brothers. This coming from someone who idolizes Alice In Chains

God he's an idiot

But for real though, why is it these tortured souls make the best music?

>>72858651
ya gotta see footage if you wanna make a great film

>>72858532
>>72858050

yes, glam metal was a parody of rock 'n' roll, it was the grand declaration that the system had incorporated rock 'n' roll fully and the fact that people argue about who's a better guitar player as far as skills go is the ultimate admission that rock 'n' roll had become a commodity.

Are we fucked beyond repair?

>>72858697
hair metal was just a financially motivated (and smart) decision to combine the edginess and production of glam with the excess and "badass" image of metal. it contributed basically nothing except maybe to pop punk (blink 182 was the motley crue of the 90s)

>>72858689
Very true, I wish I came up with that when having that discussion.

Also another note, if one of my biggest idols and inspirations couldn't face his demons, what hope do I have?

>>72851833
always suspected he was trash

>>72851714
idk, OP.......but i sincerely hope that Chris can rest in peace.

>>72858789
>one of my biggest idols and inspirations


just kill yourself right now, since you haven't managed to kill your idols.

What teh fuck, if the things we condemn as being for plebs keep drawing us and making us guilty for not liking them still to this day, what does it mean? That we are junkies? Or that there is no alternative?

>>72856680
His was the most polite, no one even knew, he just plain od'd. Died numb, zero pain except in his soul.

>>72856752
Now we're getting somewhere. Tryhards, take note.

>>72858789

Then you become the demon, fgt

It's hard to go on when the only thing that puts food on your table is your pathetic shitty life and its events
and you got to look like a real rockstar
friends are gone
you're alone again in another hotel room miles from home
and even if you were home, no one would be there fo you

>>72858697
the technical talent of these guitar players is over exaggerated beyond repair.

>>72859640
For some, sure. Mick Mars had neat riffs and was the best part of motley but guys like nuno bettencourt are on par with eddie van halen and the like

>>72859750
yes but to call hair metal "complex" is autistic
Eddie was a talented musician, and did some interesting things on some of their albums but even almost everything he did was simple.

>>72857800
If you're talking about what I think you are this shit is nothing new anon. I've been watching it snowball out of control my whole life. It's been like watching a train wreck for two decades. None of the hot political topics of today are new and they didn't come out of nowhere overnight.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NXnxTNIWkc

>>72859891
Hmm, complex as compared to what? Some of Extreme's stuff is pretty tough to play and Winger was considered the Dream Theater of hair metal.

>>72851833
Holy fuck what a faggot, I'm so glad he killed himself

>>72854669
>Goddamn it Chris, who will keep the 90s alive now??

I can't fathom this mentality. Grunge itself lived for only like 2 or 3 years and then became an utter mockery.

>>72853795
I'd probably rather listen to GnR, RATT, or Def Leppard over any grunge band, Alice in Chains being an occasional exception.

Metal DEFINITELY won. Even despite the worst of hair metal, metal continued on with much more dignity and life than "alternative" or "punk" did.

>>72860577

You have bad taste. Music is about emotion. Soundgarden is powerfully emotional.

I dunno but it isn't looking good for King Buzzo...

Not everyone's as tough as James Hetfield. He certainly had personal demons, being orphaned at 16 and struggling with alcohol for years, but he overcame them.

Just watched back some of the clips from their show in Detroit.
The more I watch it the more he seems completely out of it, either drunk or meds of some kind. He barely seems awake for Slaves and Bulldozers.

>>Adulthood, where you realize Kurt embodied an unspoken cultural breaking point and had the perfect musical palate to personify and exemplify displeasure with the status quo
also that he incorporated noise rock into his music making it 10x superior

Because he isn't a numale like grunge artists.

>>72861288

he sold his soul completely to moneymaking machine, he has become moneymaking machine so feelings don't even have hold of him

I don't think yuo can sell your soul harder than having your albums produced by Rick Rubin and Timbaland m80.

>>72861459

yeah but its how you take it. chris cornell was like "fuck my shit up" but james hetfield embraced it and even went to shake up the fans who bought pirate t-shirts

>>72861459
As opposed to Metallica who had an album produced by Rick Rubin.

>>72857421

>>72852463
Kurt eventually wanted to go solo, Dave had been experimenting with vocals at the time and even sang in a few very late Nirvana songs. Kurt shot down a proper duo and Dave lead songs w/ Kurt as a back up vocalist and Dave and Kurt fought over Kurt's drug use and his ideas of going solo - eventually Dave stuck a shotgun in Kurt's mouth, pinned it on Courtney (unsucessfully) and made the Food Fighters.

>>72855672
and you don't?

>>72852201
Kurt and Krist had a bit of a falling out after nevermind, Kurt and Dave had one around In Utero and Krist, Dave and Courtney stuck Kurt in an intervention. Grohl was getting into vocals, even singing a few of their later songs, while Kurt wanted to branch outside of Nirvana as a solo acoustic artist, Kurt wanted out, dave wanted a bigger role, they made some kind of agreement but kurt reneged on it and Grohl blew his faggot head off.

>>72860577
Metal wouldn't be around today if it weren't for Metallica. Hair metal was hard glam rock, Metallica saved metal and made it distinct from Glam Rock

>>72862623
Fuck I totally forgot about that intervention thing, idk if you're shitposting or not but that was REALLY bad.

Hole's drummer Patty talked about it once. She was apart of it and felt like shit cause Patty herself (and basically everyone else that took part in it) was doing some sort of drug, so who were they to try and "fix" Kurt. Even if he was using the most out of them still.
