He's the one who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means...
I was 12 and just starting 7th grade when NEVERMIND came out. I’m kinder to that era now than I was then. I was getting deeper into metal and hated that grunge, from a commercial perspective, wiped out that music for the 90’s. The irony is a lot of those grunge guys loved metal but wouldn’t admit it until years later. Maybe not Cobain too much - he was always into these obscure bands. I remember consoling a friend when Cobain passed away.
Shockingly, considering my love of heavier music, my favorite Nirvana album is the unplugged album.
