i know the effect the band nirvana had on music in the early 90s and onwards, but i'm always surprised at the kind of love nirvana fans still have towards kurt cobain... nearly 14 years since he passed away. because he was an influential rock god? what other reasons are there to explain this phenomena? ^_~ i personally got into nirvana very -very- recently, and just saw some videos of the band - on interviews cobain struck me as very humane, despite the adolescent type of angst nirvana usually expressed in their songs. down to earth, and spoke so intelligently. i also heard he was against homophobia and sexism, so haha he still totally appeals to me as an individual even now. what are your reasonings to the kurt cobain obsession that still continues today? what does kurt cobain symbolize for today's generation?

I love Kurt because he was a genius. His lyrics and the raw emotion in his voice are windows into his inner soul and they make me want to know more about him and to hear more from him. Also, it's like you said, he was so open-minded and that is something that I value. Overall, he just seems like he was an amazing, brilliant person. He symbolizes the ideal person that everyone in our generation wishes that they could be: deep, talented, genius, open-minded, individual.
ps: I don't think that, for the real fans, it has anything to do with his death or Courtney Love.

don't know what he symbolizes to this generation but as to why he is still influencial, i think its b/c of his untimely death and the 'mysteries' surrounding it. and that whole she did it thing with Courtney Love
