The best band ever. How ironic that apathetic Kurt Cobain could inspire so many. They saved the music industry from racist bands like Guns and Roses, from bands worried more on their look and how much money they'll make than on the soul of the music. If Kurt was still alive none of us would have to go through the torture of bling-bling rappers or meaningless good charlotte.

A band that consisted of Kurt Cobain,Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl through the most part of the 90's. Known most for their album "Nevermind". Cobain may not have played the best guitar in the world but there is no denying that Nirvana despite what most people say was one of the better if not best band of the early 90's if not the 90's in general. Through Kurt's well crafted lyrics and their sound they attained fame. When their hit song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" got massive MTV and Radio airtime they were launched into the mainstream. Over the next few years they would get even more popular.Their next major record In Utero is a work of art for the lack of a better term containing some of their best songs.In April of 1994 Kurt's body was found. Though pronounced suicide by a shotgun shot to the head reading the articles on justiceforkurt.com have changed my perspective on this. Band members have moved on to form their own bands. Nirvana in short was one fo the best bands we have been privledged to hear.

"Cooled" or "quenched," the unconditioned state of liberation, release from the cycle of rebirth-redeath; Pali: Nibbana.
When someone reaches nirvana, it means that he or she has broken free of samsara, the cycle of reincarnation and suffering which characterizes all life on Earth. In addition to being free from suffering, the individual is also beyond obsessions and earthly concerns. He or she has a high level of wisdom and compassion, and has reached a state of perfect peace with all life. For Buddhists, nirvana is the highest state one can attain, and it can take a very long time to reach this state. The term “nirvana” literally means “to extinguish,” although the term refers to the extinction of life as one knows it, not to a final end. Buddhists strive to attain nirvana by following the Eightfold Path and other precepts of their faith, and many believe that they have no way of knowing how long they have been on Earth, working towards eventual nirvana. It is also believed that people must achieve enlightenment in order to reach nirvana, but that enlightenment is not necessarily an automatic ticket to nirvana.

1. Freedom from pain and suffering in the external world. Blown out, as in a candle. It is composed of three phones:
Ni : out, away from, without
Va: blowing, as in blowing in the wind or smelling
Na: never, do not, should not

The nirvana of the Buddhists is shunyata, emptiness, but the nirvana of the Gita means peace and that is why it is described as brahma-nirvana oneness with Brahman.

THE grunge band. The band that broke the scene wide open, and placed it into the mainstream. The band that made grunge a place for all of the misfit kids (punks, goths, stoners, etc.) to go, and could relate to the lyrics. The band that said "Fuck you" to the norm, and officially put an end to the 80s.
