30+ Kurt Cobain Quotes That Will Touch Your Soul

We all go through ups and downs in life, but there are very few who make sure that their problems donโ€™t define them. Kurt Cobain is one of them! Despite having a troubled childhood, lack of emotional support, love, compassion, failed relationships, and good guidance in the teenage and adolescence, he became one of the most iconic rock musicians in the history of alternative music.

Forming the rockband Nirvana in 1987 and launching the popular album Nevermind in 1991 and second highly acclaimed album In Utero in 1993 made Kurt Cobain the voice of Generation X. Not only he was a talented singer, guitarist, and grunge performer, but he always composed angst-fueled songs that later became the hallmark blend of heavy metal and punk. โ€œSmells Like Teen Spiritโ€ is the biggest hit that actually gave a rapid rise in Cobainโ€™s career.

Kurt Cobain always inspired people with his honesty and outspokenness. What surprised people was his contemporary thoughts that are still evident from his interviews.

In one of his interviews in 1991 he said โ€“
โ€œI donโ€™t understand anything technical about music at all. I donโ€™t understand any of it, why you canโ€™t put these sounds together with those sounds. I only know what sounds good to us. โ€œI, or we as a band, never really copied anybody or spent time learning other peopleโ€™s songs. We were never good enough or had the patience to do it! So we put that energy into putting our own stuff together. Weโ€™re from the learn-ยญasยญ-you-ยญplay school. Weโ€™re still in it.โ€

Unfortunately, his love for music, crazy fans, success, and fame, couldnโ€™t help him get rid of heroin addiction, depression, personal and professional issues. And, finally, on April 5, 1994, he committed suicide by placing a shotgun onto his mouth. But, there are many conspiracy theories that circulated that it was a planned murder. No one knows the truth!

We will always miss his youthful face, shoulder-length blond hair, and his influential voice. His words and songs inspired the generations and will continue to do so. And, his quotes still inspire millions to chase their dreams and create the life they want.
