Why do people admire Kurt Cobain?

I don't think he is a very good singer. All he does is whine like tiny bitch and make grungy noises. He blew his own head off because he sucks I think.

Why do people give this person and people like Heath Ledger Jesus like status? There are better people in world.

Because his music inspired a generation.

I liked Nirvana before i knew Kurt Cobain was dead.

I personally don't like him much, but your just Trolling.

People admired him for his music, not on how he died. He had some great music, and if you don't like him, then you don't like him. And I don't think anybody gives Heath Ledger or Kurt Cobain "Jesus" status, but they are admired because they were great people, in their own respects.

Well I personally think he was a great singer... To each their own.

No disrespect intended, but the praise would not be given to them in such an amount if they were still alive."

Kobain, probably not. People were going nuts over Heath when he was still alive though.

That being said: DAEMON is just trolling again. Don't feed him, and -1 on your way out.

"Because his music inspired a generation."

He's also a pretty damn good guitarist.

Do you mean attention? I'm sure Kurt Cobain would have gotten even more respect if he was alive, because he would have been still making more music. As for Heath, if he was alive, he'd be getting alot of praise to, for his performance in the Dark Knight.

So no, they would be getting just as amount of praise."

You can't honestly say that their death's didn't draw attention though right?"

Death maybe drew attention to him, one could argue that he(curt cobain) hadn't even reached his peak in popularity prior to death but he was damn sure getting there, thats alot of pressure and anxiety for one man...

Their deaths drew great attention, I thought I said that in the first sentence? But they still would have been praised heavily if they were alive today."

You're an idiot, sorry but it's quite obvious you're a troll.

He was a pioneer and great inspiration for the grundge movement, along with stp, peal jam, Alice in Chains. Nirvana started something.

He was also a good guitarist, and a good songwriter.

So he died with a shotgun, Maybe if he hoped aboard the John Denver/Buddy Holly flight, it might have been better?

you sir get a big O_0

I think people in stardom get far too much merit. The little people don't get merit.

"I think people in stardom get far too much merit. The little people don't get merit."

Dwarfism.

"Dwarfism.

I agree that the "little people," don't get recognized nearly as much as celebrities. That's pretty much the way society is. Most people don't know about who won the nobel prize for something, but they know the latest gossip from their favorite celebrities. Life is not fair, after all.

I'm not totally sure why people admire him so much. Sure, he had some good songs, but I think he definitely came off sounding pretty whiney. Then of all people, the dude marries Courtney Love? Probably not the best choice. I think a lot of people believe that she drove him to suicide, but obviously he wanted to be with her so I don't know about that. Anyway, this is what makes Kurt a loser in my books. He killed himself when he had like a 2-3 year old daughter. Real cool, Kurt. A role model for a generation.

People admired him for his music, I don't know him the family and personal life, though. Wish people could get that through your apparently thick skulls."

Sean Connery advocates slapping a hoe. Word.

Man I hate Nirvana.

Yeah. While I do agree that people can be immensely talented at some things and retarded at other things, I don't think being a womanizer compares to leaving your baby daughter without a father for no good reason. Not to mention leaving her with a total junkie of a mother. But hey, let's look on the bright side. Apparently Courtney turned her life around, so I guess things have possibly worked out okay in the end.

because he was on mtv.

It's even worse when they admire people like fiddy cent. He is bad role model for black people and white people who think they are black people. He is a bad person making being a bad person look like you are being a good person.

I couldn't agree more. unfortunately the media is more fixated about what goes on in hollywood even if it seems like nothing worth reporting rather than things that really matter. I guess hannah montana, britney, and paris are just that more important.."

Tom Hanks is a good person. He collects type writers."

I was a much bigger fan of Shannon from Blind Melon. Shame he had to OD, if he shot himself in the face like a pussy maybe he'd be a bigger legend.

Because he got shot by Courtney Love.

I wouldn't consider myself to be an admirer of Kurt Cobain as a person, but I admire his songwriting, and I admire Nirvana. I think this makes the answer to the OP pretty clear: it's all about the music.

People admire people like Kurt Cobain and Heath Ledger because their work is inspirational to them. If you're not interested in the arts at all, than these people wouldn't be such an inspiration to you, but for someone like me who can relate to Cobain's music, (of which I think is great) or someone who thought Ledger's performance was incredible (also like me) who has an interest in acting would find him very inspirational.

Cobain was a fantastic songwriter, and Ledger was a fantastic actor. You don't have to agree, and nobody really cares if you do or not.

I hate Nirvana, but I can respect what they and Kurt did.

No need to troll over him.

He didn't blow his head off.

I do agree for the most part there are more and better people to admire..but hey what can ya do?

Because he's dead
 
 
 
Look at Michael Jackson, last year he was the laughing stock of the world, and every kid toucher joke.  But now that he's dead of course he was innocent and he was an amazing person.
