The lead singer of Nirvana, a truely wonderful man who influenced a generation. Sung such great songs as "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Im Bloom", "Heart-Shaped Box" and "Lithium". The man who inspired me to pick up a guitar and to try and write songs of my own, and form a small band with some friends. He died before his time, wether is was by suicide or if someone killed him, the sad fact remians that he is no longer with us. He was one of the musical giants of our time, and is greatly missed.
Girl 1: Hey, Smells Like Teen Spirit is on the radio!!
Girl 2: Crank it up, I wanna hear Kurt sing. =D

Get the Kurt Cobain mug.Short for colostomy bag, a bag in which one shits directly into when their colon has been compromised. Worse than a douchebag, and gender neutral.
Don't be such a cobag.
You are a complete cobag.
What a cobaggy thing to say, cobag.
EAT IT, COBAG!!!!11!!1!!!!!

Get the cobag mug.A phenomena occuring in the music industry, in which an aspect of a band member's (usually the frontman/woman's) personality, actions, etc. becomes subject to quite a lot of debate among both fans and haters of the band. This would be perfectly alright, except for what inevitably happens is that the debate becomes so overblown that people begin to forget about the music of the band, and all they really know is the trivial feud over the aspect of the frontman/frontwoman. Named after Freddie Mercury, the frontman of the British classic rock band Queen, and Kurt Cobain, the frontman of the early '90s grunge band Nirvana.
Mercury/Cobain Effect:
Nirvana Fan 1: Courtney killed Kurt Cobain!
Nirvana Fan 2: Kurt killed himself!
Nirvana Fan 3: You're both wrong, Kurt is alive and well and hiding out in Winchestertonfieldville even as we speak!
Nirvana Fans 1 and 2: How dare you have an opinion that differs from mine, never mind the fact that it's a free country and everyone has the right to believe whatever they choose!
Nirvana fan with a brain: Guys, can't we just talk about the MUSIC instead of whether or not Kurt killed himself...?
Everyone in room but Nirvana fan with a brain: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD THAT'S SO FRICKIN' FUNNY, YOU SHOULD BECOME A PROFESSIONAL COMEDIAN!!!!
Nirvana fan with a brain: *sigh*
* * *
Queen fan 1: Freddie Mercury was GAY!!!
Queen fan 2: No, he was bisexual!
Queen fan 3: He had a girlfriend and therefore was straight, so both of you shut up!
Queen fan 3: No, he was straight in the 1970s, but in the '80s, for some strange reason unknown to everyone on the planet, became gay!
Queen fan with a brain: Why does Freddie Mercury's orientation matter so much to you guys? He and his band made a lot of great music, and music is the whole reason we listen to Queen in the first place, so can't we just talk about the songs? You know, the whole REASON we all like Queen?
{insert awkward silence here}
Weirdo: Forget that, I think he was TRISEXUAL!!!
Queen fan with a brain: Just...just forget I said anything...*runs off and pounds head against the nearest wall in frustration*
Nirvana Fan 1: Courtney killed Kurt Cobain!
Nirvana Fan 2: Kurt killed himself!
Nirvana Fan 3: You're both wrong, Kurt is alive and well and hiding out in Winchestertonfieldville even as we speak!

Get the Mercury/Cobain Effect mug.Frances (Bean) Cobain is a child of famous Kurt Cobain (from Nirvana) and Courtney Love (from Hole).She was born in 1992.Today she wants to become a model and lives quite straight life,unlike her mother.
In my oppinion,all of you who say that SHE is supposed to bring grunge back again,YOU ARE WRONG!
I belive that she has the right to live her own life,and do whatever she wants to do with it.Well maybe she doesn't want to talk about her dead father,or maybe she has an old photo album,but that is her privacy only!
She is a spitting image of Kurt,and I really think she is great.
It is hard to deal with all popularity thing,and it is even harder to grow up sooner than the others.
I'm her age,and I'm really happy that Kurt left such beautiful kid behind him.

Get the Frances Bean Cobain mug.The last most important musician of the generation. Frontman of the rock band Nirvana. His songs touched souls, and still do today. He will always be remembered.

Get the Kurt Cobain mug.Kurt Cobain, along with Nirvana, changed the music industry drastically in that they ended the Metal era of the 1980's and influenced the modern bands we hear today.
Most people would like to talk about his death, if he was killed, if he committed suicide, etc, and this very fact alone might have made him a legend to many people. But to me, he's a legend because he made great influential music. Music that rock wouldn't survive without. Nirvana is the core and heart of the rock body. Embrace him, not his death.

Get the Kurt Cobain mug.Kurt Cobain was born on February 20 1967, in Hoquaim, a small town southwest of Seattle. His family moved to Aberdeen, and his parents would get divorced. He had a dysfunctional childhood - or, indeed, life - from there on out. He left Aberdeen for Olympia, where he formed the band Nirvana. The sudden success and critical acclaim of the band that would eventually come floored him. In Feburary 1992 he'd marry Courtney Love, who was already pregnant with his child, Francis Bean Cobain. On April 5th Kurt Cobain died, apparently by his own hand. The death was offically ruled by a suicide, although fans and conspiracy theorists alike speculate upon the subject to this day. He left behind a musical legacy with Nirvana that has yet to be rivaled.
