>Kurt Cobain kills himself after Nirvana becomes too big for him to handle
>following Alice In Chains' rise to being one of the biggest rock bands on the planet, Layne Staley becomes a shut-in and spends 8 years isolated in his apartment, obliterating himself with drugs before finally dying
>Soundgarden break up at their creative and commercial peak; they eventually reunite and release a couple of lukewarm albums before Chris Cornell kills himself as well
>Pearl Jam freak out about being too popular and go on an autistic boycott against music videos and Ticketmaster, fucking up their career in the process

Why were grunge bands so shit at handling success?

because it's a head fuck.

Probably has more to do with the heroin than the fame.

I think it's because most of them were already fucked up in the first place. Drugs and the burden of fame became too much for them to handle.

Kurt wanted fame to try and take away his depression, but it made him worse(it was also bad that courtney pushed him into drugs). I still think he was murdered to this day.

You have to realize how much of an overnight success Grunge became. It was like despacito times a thousand, with everyone and their grandma wearing ripped up jeans and flannel shirts. Most of the bands of the Grunge era were basically losers who went from playing a venue with about maybe 100 max to a full on stadium and being broadcast on live tv. Most resorted to drugs to try and calm them, but it only led them so death(with the exception to Kurt).

It's a shame really, if only Kurt wasn't murdered the Grunge era could have lasted a little longer than it did and not crash and burn.

This.
These guys could barely handle being highly successful underground bands/mildly successful major label bands, of course they had no chance in hell of dealing with suddenly being all over MTV and on the cover of every music magazine worth a shit.

why tho

Grunge was cool because of its relatively short shelf life and as the perfect answer to the hair metal and arena rock of the 80s.
