I never "got" Nirvana when they exploded. I was a senior in h.s. headed to college. The music was good but I didn't get his whole hopeless, apathetic thing. I looked at it, I didn't feel stuck, Nirvana didn't appear to be stuck, they were a success so it didn't make sense.
My college roommate "got" it. I remember him telling me after Cobain committed suicide that he was "real", that was what his music was and that he had the guts to go through with it and kill himself. I didn't understand that at all. I realized my roommate and I were in completely different places at that point in our lives.

These fricking home movies with Courtney are creeping me out in the worst way. So weird and gross.
Seeing his artwork, he was a fantastic artist. Anytime an artist kills themself or dies young a mythology develops about them and that makes them like a Greek or Roman God and enhances their image beyond what any living person or person who lived to be much older could ever reach. The same for Hendrix (my favorite artist), Joplin, Morrison, Jeff Buckley, etc. And I'm a fan of them all including Kurt.
I don't think Nirvana would have that legendary status to such a wide number of people if he hadn't offed himself but he was very very talented and I would have loved to hear other records from him or Nirvana had he lived because I know he would have at some point made a record like the Beatles and changed his sound up, he would have gotten bored with doing things too much the same. It's why In Utero is so different from Nevermind.

There was nothing to "get". A guy with a messed up upbringing and got strung out on drugs and sung/screamed about it and people wanted to attach the genius label to him. Give me a break.
