Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20, 1967, Aberdeen, Washington, U.S.A – April … Read Full Bio ↴Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20, 1967, Aberdeen, Washington, U.S.A – April 5 1994, Seattle, Washington, U.S.A ) was the lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist of the Seattle grunge band Nirvana. With the band's success, Cobain became a major national and international celebrity, an uncomfortable position for someone who claimed to be "ill at ease with fame and ill-equipped to handle the responsibility that accompanies success".

Cobain and Nirvana were highly influential, popularizing what came to be known as "grunge music". In 1991, the arrival of Cobain's best known song, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", marked the beginning of a dramatic shift of popular music away from the dominant genres of the 1980s: glam metal, arena rock, and dance-pop. The music media eventually awarded "Smells Like Teen Spirit" "anthem-of-a-generation" status, and, with it, Cobain ascended as the reluctant "spokesman" for Generation X. Kurt Cobain changed the course of music forever even though it was never his intention.

Teenage angst has paid off well
Now I'm bored and old
Self-appointed judges judge
More than they have sold
If she floats then she is not
A witch like we had thought
A down payment on another
One at Salem's lot
Serve the servants, oh no
Serve the servants, oh no
Serve the servants, oh no
Serve the servants
That legendary divorce is such a bore
As my bones grew they did hurt
They hurt really bad
I tried hard to have a father
But instead I had a dad
I just want you to know that I
Don't hate you anymore
There is nothing I could say
That I haven't thought before
Serve the servants, oh no
Serve the servants, oh no
Serve the servants, oh no
Serve the servants
That legendary divorce is such a bore
Serve the servants, oh no
Serve the servants, oh no
Serve the servants, oh no
Serve the servants, oh no
Serve the servants, oh no
Serve the servants, oh no
Serve the servants
That legendary divorce is such a bore

This song is like the antithesis of Smells like teen spirit. From the first line "teenage angst has paid of well, now I'm old and bored", to the chorus (which is very nostalgic and all against the usual formula that they used mostly in the nevermind era). Also considering the fact that this is their opening song for In utero.
One of their best songs tho! 🤘I wish Kurt would have stayed alive.

it's sad to see kurt perform so static, all energy he had back in the late 80s early 90s was absolutely gone, also is sad that Pat Smear had joined Nirvana around 93 i wish he could have been more time with the band, and is so damn frustrating that mental diseases are now a thing, almost 30 years after Kurt passed away, he was treated many times for his "addictions" but nobody never tried to reach him to get to the bottom of the matter, what was on his head, because addictions or substance abuse are a consequence, mostly people evade themselves from traumas, bad time in life, job stress and so on, maybe if Kurt was treated for whatever was hurting him inside, drugs won't have been a thing and Nirvana would still be alive today with Kurt Cobain having a normal life

Probably so. It's a tragedy that a few others self destructed recently in this day and age though. Cornel, Bennington, O'riordan , to name a few.
Trouble is, if a person doesn't speak, then no one can help.. On the flip side, people speak and others don't help. Drugs are the worst thing ever if you are not mentally stable, I can speak from experience. Make you feel great when you are on them, when you're back sober you feel worse than you did before. Vicious circle.

This performance was recorded on 23 February 1994, during Nirvana's tour in Italy, and was broadcast on 27 February in RAI's Channel 3, on the 4th episode of "Tunnel" (a satire and counter-culture show aimed at young people). On that same day, Nirvana also recorded a live performance of "Dumb", which was only broadcast posthumously on 1st May 1994 (during the live covering of "Primo Maggio" festival on RAI's Channel 1). That accounts as Kurt's last TV appearance to be released .

@charlitoguzman6414

Kurt along with the entire band from Nirvana changed the music industry from what it was back in the late 80's,to what we liked and supported in the early 1990's. We quickly went from,"JUMP" from David Lee Roth and Van Halen to,"Smells like Teen Spirit" Nirvana over night. It quickly changed the music sceen from long hair garage rock bands to Seattle new wave Grunge rock bands. It was a generational change that flipped the music industry completely around and if your band was from Seattle and your music was Grunge/Alternative rock you could make a huge name for yourself. All the band's we seen come from Seattle in the late 80's/ early 90's like Nirvana,Pearl Jam,Soundgarden,Alice in Chains all changed the music industry back then. But it was Nirvana first who received all the recognition and changed music as we knew it back then. It was amazing to see that's for sure. I love all those bands and listen to them each and every day.

I think it means that Kurt’s dad wasn’t around and/or emotionally available enough growing up as he’d imagine the position of a perfect “father” typically produces. That’s what makes the most sense to me considering the following lyrics are, “i just want you to know that i don’t hate you anymore” as if he’s forgiving his dad for not being perfect. But then again Kurt was a story teller who liked to incorporate other people’s stories/fictional stories into his lyrics. Maybe he just thought those lyrics were cool sounding & relatable for others
