Maybe Jah had to put us with the wrong people so when I found you I knew there was true Nirvana out there.

1) Buddhist's heaven
2) A grunge band that was formed in 1988 and was fronted by Kurt Cobain. Nowadays, there's idiotic teen girls who wear the shirts with only the name and the dead smiley face on them and they have either only heard one song from them (SLTS) and think that Kurt's still alive or think that Nirvana is a fucking CLOTHING BRAND!

Stupid 15-year-old girl: I love Nirvana! I'm one their biggest fans
Me: (unsure) Uh, you are? What are your favourite songs?
15yo girl : Smells Like Teen Spirit!
Me: Uhhh, is that the only one you know?
15yo girl: Pretty much, yeah. I really want to see Kurt someday !
Me: (gets upset) He killed himself 23 fucking years ago! You shouldn't call yourself a fan if you don't know jack shit about the band!
15yo girl: Wait, he died?! I didn't know that!
Me: (rubs forehead and walks away feeling pissed) I really fucking hate this generation of teens, they are all so stupid and ignorant!

A truly amazing band from the 1990s that ruled alternative rock. The band split up due to a heartbreaking occurrence when the main singer, Kurt Cobain, commit suicide. He was an amazing artist and it is so sad that he felt like departing this world before passing from natural causes. He remains a great influence to music creators and artists of all kind.
Guy 1 - Hey have you heard of Kurt Cobain?
Guy 2 - Not really
Girl 1 - I have. He is a great person and made much better music with his band, Nirvana, than Katy Perry
Guy 2 - I have to listen to Nirvana!

A band that was led by an emotionally disturbed heroin addict with serious image problems, with a seven foot tall Serbian kid on bass, and Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters kick ass!) on drums. They gained popularity by playing slightly more 'popular' type music, and once everyone was listening, they switched to playing what they really loved - coarse, rough grunge with messed up lyrics. Nirvana was probably one of the greatest bands to surface after the revival of the sixties and seventies ran out of steam. A band who's music was so good, they didn't need 'deep' or 'meaningful' lyrics. People, it was just Kurt screaming into the mic about his girl problems and stuff he saw during acid trips. Stop trying to find meaning in music, and just chill!
