Through those horrid years of the 1990s and 2000s, rock went into hibernation.

People are people, and they always have been. Throughout time, we show ourselves to follow trends and emotionally resonate with certain "attitudes" as we age. As we age, the music that speaks to a certain age can offer a nostalgic reminiscence; taking you back to when you were that 'rebellious young spirit.' Since the art speaks to that specific energy, it's able to connect with future young people that are experiencing it all for the fist time.

On your description of how it makes you feel, I know what you mean. Nirvana was my older brother's music, but they were always present when I was in high school ('99-2003). I didn't like them at the time for complicated reasons, but watching reactions now there's an intense and surreal sense of nostalgia, but it's hard to describe. Edit: This one always hits hard because of how Cobain died.

He’s the biggest rock star ever to this day dude. He’s known worldwide. Loved by all musicians and artists.

The producer Butch vig who made the album Nevermind said Kurt's voice sounded like Nails on a chalk board. In the most beautiful way.I like you said there is something youthful about his music. It is and when you where a youth as I was back in the day I felt like he was singing to us. It was mind-blowing hearing Nirvana for the first time. My favourite band ever......

NOW you're going on the grunge-rock era journey!!! SO awesome to see just how much you love them... Kurt Cobain was the singer... Nirvana(said like ner-von-a), was one of the four grunge-rock bands to come out of Seattle, Washington, there's also; Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden!! N i ALWAYS add Linkin Park...although they came out way later!!😁 They ALL have very distinct voices!!!🎤

Nirvana was definitely the biggest musical thing on the planet when I was a kid. When he died Oasis took their place for me (and everyone else in my school).

One of my favorites by nirvana ❤

I love Evan Peters version from American Horror Story too. I grew up listening to this. I was a high school sophomore when this came out. LFR JoJo is right, it set the mood for many parties and dates of mine back in the day. But I always loved hardcore rap. Nuttin but a G Thang came out back then too.

Awesome song!

The drummer of nirvana was Dave Grohl who started Foo Fighters after nirvana. 20+ years of Foo Fighters wow. Checkout Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters

The rock-hip hop mix had happened before Nirvana broke big, but it was still some years before that became popular. If he had lived longer, I suspect he would've collaborated with at least 1 or 2 rappers on some music. I liked a variety of styles, so very possible I think. Check out the video for RUN DMC - Walk This Way ft. Aerosmith for the first big collaboration between rap and rock. It helped make Run DMC one of the biggest rap groups and helped revitalize the career of Aerosmith. And the video "DMC: The Real Story of Aerosmith + Run-D.M.C.'s 'Walk This Way'" talks about how it came to be. Has a nice message embedded in it.

Nirvana was huge in the early 90s. Listen to the Foo Fighters. Their lead Singer was the drummer for Nirvana but is lead singer and founder of Foo Fighters. A great group in itself.

5:46 Yup, you are very correct... he was the biggest rock star back in his day.
